My Year in Travel 2018

Where do I begin? It has been another amazing year of travel and I'm so incredibly thankful. I got to explore more of my own country, New Zealand, and travel to twelve different countries in four continents.

Old Shanghai Highlights Tour: The Perfect Introduction To Shanghai

I had such a fantastic layover in Shanghai on my way to Europe. It's such an attractive and fascinating city with a great mixture of old and new. It far exceeded my expectations and really surprised me in a good way.

Six Weeks in Europe Itinerary & Goals

I'm off to Europe in just a few days and I'm sooo excited! It's been over three years since I last went and I can't wait to return to some favourite much-loved places as well as explore plenty of new ones.

24 Hours on Stewart Island - New Zealand’s Southern Secret

Despite being a Kiwi myself, I’d never met anyone who’d actually been to Stewart Island before my trip in 2018 with Stray. I knew very little about it - aside from the fact that you could go cage-diving with Great White Sharks! But now that I’ve experienced the magic of this place firsthand, I can confidently say there’s so much more to it than that.

One Week South Island Jucy Road Trip

My latest trip to the South Island was all thanks to Jucy World as I was the winner of their ultimate #JUCYWINTER getaway! I was incredibly excited - I had never won anything before and had always wanted to experience road tripping around New Zealand in a campervan (I LOVE being a tourist in my own country!).

The Ultimate Weekend & Carry-On Bag

I have been testing out my new Muzmm Little Garden Backpack for over three months now and I love everything about it. It is the ultimate weekend and carry-on bag and I couldn't recommend this innovative, three-in-one travel bag any higher.

Incredible Horse Riding Trek in Lord of the Rings Locations

Are you a fan of the Lord of the Rings movies? Do you love horses but have only been on them once or twice?  If you answered yes to both of those questions - put this tour on your bucket list right now!

A few months ago when I was last in the South Island, I went on the Dart River Adventures Funyak tour which was honestly one of the most incredible activities I've ever done in New Zealand (very highly recommended).
