For my own rememberings, and for people out there who may be looking to visit NZ and are interested in some first hand accounts from an actual NZer, I think it would be good to blog about the other adventures that Greg and I and friends have been on around the place over the years. I love relishing my trip memories and poring over the photos to choose the best ones so it should be fun for me to do anyway.
I also stopped the previous blogging in Amsterdam, but actually went on to have another 6 weeks of adventuring in UK and Ireland before returning home, so it would be good to post my memories of those times as well before they slip away!
I've done a few NZ tramps over the years as well and I'm trying to do a few more in the coming year, so these must also be recorded!
When I'm sitting around at home in the duldrums of Autumn I can start to feel like I never get around to doing anything amazing, then when I sit and reflect on where I've been and what I've got up to the last 6 years or so, it blows me away!
SO because I love lists, here's my plan of what I'd like to post about:
