Queenstown: The Party Capital of New Zealand
Hello Wonderful People! Queenstown, from all the rumours I’d heard, was supposed to be the best place in New Zealand. Not only is it the adrenaline capital of the Southern Hemisphere, it’s also supposed to be the best night out in New Zealand. As I’d heard so many great things about Queenstown, my expectations were…

Skiing in Wanaka
Hello Wonderful People! After a stunning drive through Arthurs Pass and down the coast we stayed for a few nights in Wanaka. This little town nestled by a lake is surrounded by dramatic mountain scenery. The town has a great vibe and I felt like I was in a ski resort in the French…

Kaikoura
Hello Wonderful People! After crossing from Wellington to the South Island, our first stop was Kaikoura. We arrived in the dark and camped for the night in an abandoned car park on the outskirts of town, so we really had no idea of what the place was like. Stepping out of the campervan…

Skydiving at Lake Taupo
Hello Wonderful People! Many would argue that New Zealand is the adrenaline capital of the world; so it only felt right to show my wild side and do a skydive in this beautiful country. Having already done a bungee jump back home in England, jumping out of a plane was the next thing…

Throwback: Skiing in Val Thorens

Throwback: Whale Watching in Canada
Hello Wonderful People! I’ve decided to jump on the Throwback Thursday band wagon and do a regular throwback feature on holidays from when I was a wee kiddy winkle. I was lucky enough to visit some amazing places with my parents and experienced so many different things. So I thought it would be a great idea to…

The Great Barrier Reef
Hello Wonderful People! When you think of Australia, The Great Barrier Reef is going to be up there, swimming around in your little head as something completely synonymous with that big country down under! So, obviously it was one of the things I was dying to see while in Aus and it truly was stunning.…

Byron Bay
Hello Wonderful People! After Sydney, Byron Bay has to be the best place on the East Coast! Its reputation as a laid back hippie town is spot on, as it has the most chilled out vibe I’ve experienced since Asia! I stayed in Byron for 3 days and managed to fit quite a lot in,…
