New Zealand Road Trip: Northland’s beaches
Northland is so close to those who live or visit Auckland, but for some reason few people really scratch the surface. It’s such a shame, as it’s a region with so much to offer and lots of hidden gems.
Colours of Isla Mujeres, Mexico
The last stop on our Mexican sojourn was the lovely little island of Isla Mujeres, off the coast of Cancun. With stunning beaches, cheap tacos, cute colourful houses, and golf carts for hire, what more could you want!
Holes in the ground: The cenotes of Tulum, Mexico + video
The Yucatan Peninsula is filled with holes. Sinkholes that is, or cenotes in Spanish. A lovely cool place to visit during the heat of the day in Tulum!
Tulum, Mexico: Tacos, hammocks, and ruins
Tulum = Paradise. Think pure white sand, warm turquoise water, good food, and some Mayan ruins thrown in the mix.
Under the water: SCUBA diving in Cozumel, Mexico + video
Going SCUBA diving in Cozumel was awesome. The water was warm, the coral was pretty, and we saw heaps of sea life including a couple of turtles!
Northeast USA Road Trip: From Maine to NYC
We were up in Maine and had five days to get back to New York City. Where could we go? The great thing about camping in the northeast is that there are literally hundreds of campsites to choose from, but that makes it even harder to decide where to go!
Northeast USA Road Trip: Portland + Acadia, Maine
We’d been keen to visit Portland, Maine ever since meeting a Portland native in Koh Tao, Thailand last year. This small city is hailed as a culinary hotspot of northeast USA, and that alongside the scenic beauty of Maine was enough to get us excited!
A foray into French Canada: Montreal + Quebec City
We spent a couple of days meandering around Montreal and Quebec City. We loved the European feel of the cities and delicious local produce!
Northeast USA Road Trip: The green of Vermont
We set off into the wilderness of Vermont with our tiny rental car and $40 Wal-Mart tent. We discovered a green land filled with lovely scenery. Wonderful!
Fiji on a budget: A bit of hit and miss
Our trip to Fiji happened because I won a competition – but we had to change our plans a bit. Unfortunately we didn’t make the best choices for our budget!

Around the world in two months
It started with an ill-fated trip to the mall, in which we wandered past the travel agent which was advertising round the world airfares. We were hooked.
