my round the world trip...

Mmm didnt I feel great this morning! well after a leisurly morning headed back to Christchurch for my final night there, booked into the hostel and dropped my bags off then it was off to drop what had been my home for nearly 3 weeks, yep the camper, so sad to see it go, I now have to carry my bags …

This trip manifests a cursory approach to seeing and doing all those crazy and out-of-the-way things that any child dreams up. I hope your inner child enjoys my spontaneous, and perhaps reckless, approach to global circumnavigation.

After graduating I promised myself 'The Big Trip'. I had family overseas that I'd never met, so it was a journey of discovery in several ways. I started with a visit to Toronto, Canada, moving next to Southern California, USA, from there to Melbourne, Australia, and on to Adelaide. A quick stop in Canberra, and then on to Sydney. An impromptu long weekend in New Zealand's South Island, followed by a brief return to Sydney and a long flight home. Two and a half months of travel bliss...

One of the best years of my life; I met so many fantastic people and drove around an amazing country! I can't wait to go back one day.

In jan 2009 zal ik 3 maanden op reis gaan samen met mijn lieve vriendinnetje Marjon!!

It was quite strange being in Christchurch as there were other cars and traffic lights, something I hadn't seen in nearly a week. I managed to navigate my way round the one way systems (thank you google maps!) and found my hotel - Millenium Hotel Christchurch. I checked in the hotel and then left t…

We picked up Melissa's sister at 9am (she's currently working for a month in Dunedin) and headed off on Good Friday.  Worth knowing is that if you want to do anything on a public holiday in NZ you will pay a 15% surcharge wherever you go.  Hence a $3.20 caramel slice turned into $3.80 bef…

This city, they say, is the most English city outside of England. The four of us got up early and took the Tranz Alpine Express into the New Zealand alps … we rode on the train for about two hours, crossing a huge plain (60 by 100 km) that furnishes a lot of the food the country needs. The alps w…

27 août 2009, c'est le départ! Nous partons pour près de quatre mois, destination : l'Océanie. Le voyage débute en Polynésie française où nous passerons deux semaines. Ensuite, c'est l'Australie pour une durée indéterminée. Le 19 décembre, nous repartirons de la Nouvelle-Zélande, après avoir visiter Fidji, Tonga ou autres pays océaniens.

As the title of this entry would suggest I leave on my trip in two days. I'm pretty well prepared but I still have to finish packing and scramble around to do all the things I forgot I needed to do ;-)Here's my itinerary:1 July - Fly to Sri Lanka, via Singapore2 July - 14 July - In Sri lanka14 July…

An amazing 2 months spent visiting one of the Worlds most scenic, adventurous countries

After a long drive along the east coast, we passed briefly through kaikoura and on to Christchurch. It seemed to be the biggest town i've been to so far, far more sprawling than Wellington, it appears to have a bit of an identity crisis (apparently only skin deep). It is complete with a rive…
