Taking on the world with an air of prestige
Dear Hector, I can't thank Karen & family enough for a wonderful week of home comforts, and a chance to rest and explore after working hard in Dunedin. Here's some of our activity highlights if you find yourself down in this part of NZ... Timaru First and foremost of course - explore Timaru itself! The … Continue reading What to do with a week in Timaru?!
Dearest Hector, Ok, so it’s no secret that I have fallen behind on blogging about my journey. But sat watching the waves on a beautiful black sand beach on the coast of Chile, sipping on a coffee, I wrote for you a real time update on my adventure, and seeing as I am now officially … Continue reading Peps’ Travel round up – 2017 so far…
Dear Hector, It was tough to leave Dunedin, as with all of the places I've become a little too comfortable, but on discovering Karen had arrived with a yellow VW Beetle as our adventure-mobile, I was raring to go! The start of the journey venturing into Middlemarch brought little but thick fog, until all of … Continue reading South Island Road Trip no.1
Dearest Penelope, It has been a while, hasn’t it!! While you have been galavanting around the land of Oz, NZ and South America; my only sight has been the commute to work - oh, the joy...

Conveniently flying direct from Melbourne to Queenstown, I would begin on the … Continue reading Queenstown – Hello New Zealand!

It was a long morning of travel, with few stops, although we did have the time to wander amongst some desert peas – incredibly vivid … Continue reading Going underground, Gorge walking and Goodbyes – Uluru to Adelaide
Dearest Hector, Just like that, 6 months in Melbourne has come to an end! I'm leaving behind some wonderful new friends, and a city that will always keep a special little place in my heart. But there's been very little time to give this too much thought, as I now find myself up in the Northern … Continue reading The Outback Adventure Begins
Dear Hector, Despite all claims to have a quiet few weeks before jetting back to the homeland (I hope those dates are in your diary Hex!), a surprise 3 day weekend made things too hard to resist, and before I knew it, flights were booked for a trip to Brisbane to visit two of my … Continue reading Brisbane
Dear Hector, It’s truly amazing how much can happen in just a few short weeks. Since arriving in Melbourne pennyless, homeless and jobless, things have turned around very quickly! Within a week I had landed myself a job in a 5* hotel, and now have a room in a lovely apartment in South Melbourne, which … Continue reading Making a life in Melbourne
