Weekly photo challenge: Angular
I took this photo in the world’s steepest residential street, Baldwin street in Dunedin. This house looks like a Mondriaan painting. Somehow the angle of the photo only strengthens this work of art.
Summer in the city
Has summer finally really arrived? Today it seemed like it. I drove out to Sumner to blow off some steam at the beach. Although the beach itself isn’t idyllic or anything, it was a beautiful place. The beach is surrounded by hills that are covered with houses and there is…
A countryday in the city
Yesterday me and my friend Kym went to the Canterbury show. They made a public holiday for it, so I just had to check it out. It was very similar to Sydney’s Royal Easter Show, but a tad smaller. I was so surprised at how many people showed up. There…
Moving in, moving on
And I dive back into student life. Well… not me exactly, but it seems like it. I moved into my new flat and most of the people here are either students, or have just gratuated. I’m still not exactly sure who lives here, because some are away, some here temporarily…
Starting over
It was crazy to spend a few days in Adelaide and kind of hard to say goodbye to the boyfriend. At the same time I was more than ready to pick up life again and go home. All I could do in Adelaide was sit on my ass and I…

Park near the water
Summer is coming and that means we all pack our bags, slap on some sunscreen and hit the road. Summer is the perfect time for a roadtrip and what better way to enjoy the sun than camping? On my recent road trip, however short it turned out to be, I…
Driving backwards into the future
Things didn’t exactly go as expected. After working my ass off all winter, I’d saved a nice amount of money to explore the South Island with. I had it all figured out. First up would be a loop through the very south, then across to the West coast, explore the…
A road not easily forgotten.
It was only a half hour drive to the Moeraki boulders, but my car couldn’t handle it anymore. Suddenly the temperature gage went up high in the sky and when I left the state highway for the last few hundred meters to the boulders, the engine just stopped. I was…
Wildlife of the south
You don’t have to go on a safari to see some awesome wildlife. Right here in the south of New Zealand, there is plenty to see. I alway get excited when I can get up close and personal with beautiful animals. Here are some of my favorite spots from my…
