Miss you lot
Over the years I’ve felt a belonging to different groups and different places. At the moment I am so at peace. I know I belong here in Christchurch right now. I know that what I am doing is exactly right. Everything worked out. Everything feels in balance. This bunch here…
Weekly photo challenge: Achievement
So many steps. So many I can’t remember how much. My brain is dead, my body broken, but I made it to the top in time. Dune 45 in Namibia is a challenge. Sure, it’s nice to see the sunrise at stupid o’clock, but to walk up a dune? At…
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…
One way bridge
I just started working for a campervan rental company and I’m in the middle of a full on training. Today I had to drive one of our vans around for the second time. A challenge for the second time. Man, those things are big! I’m thinking a lot about where…
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…
Weekly Photo Challenge: descent
About a year ago I was in Western Australia and decided to go whale watching in Exmouth. This blurry image of two tales, whales diving down, says it all. It is all I remember seeing from a long distance.
Calling your Bluff
If you want to go to the Southernmost point of New Zealand, you’ll end up at Steward Island. Since many tourists don’t take the ferry to the small island, there is the southern tip of the South Island instead. On all the brochures you see the pole with the bright…
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…
