It’s now down to the final few days until I head to New York. I haven’t been doing too much this past week besides hanging out with friends and walking around my messy room thinking I should really start packing. I’m a little worried about how I’m going to fit everything into 2 suitcases with [...]

With only a week and a half to go until I head out of New Zealand, I’m trying to get some last minute adventures in. A while back, my friend and I bought some half-price vouchers to go an indoor climbing place called Clip N’ Climb, so I figured we should probably use them before [...]

It was a full weekend last weekend with the Sevens game and driving back from Wellington through Taupo, but well worth it. As I mentioned in my last post, the tickets were sold out, but Mahnoosh and I managed to get two last minutes tickets for both days for $115 total. Amazing deal considering the [...]

It’s been a few weeks since my last costume party here, so to break the streak I’m heading down to Wellington tomorrow night for the biggest costume party of the year in New Zealand. There’s a sevens rugby tournament which I would love to go to, but unfortunately it’s sold out, and tickets are crazy [...]

Last week there wasn’t a whole lot going on here in Auckland, so my good friend Mike and I thought we’d take a quick 4-day road trip to the top of the North Island. We decided to take the Twin Coast Discovery route, which brought us up the east coast and down the west coast. [...]

Luckily I haven’t made any New Year’s resolutions yet because I’m sure I’d be failing miserably if I had, especially if they included writing in my blog more. But, it’s never too late to start, so here’s my first entry of the new year.

So far I’ve really enjoyed 2011. I started out the year [...]

It seems as though the years pass by twice as fast as they used to. I look back on the last year, and can’t believe all the places I’ve been and all the amazing people I’ve met. A few years ago I did an annual review based on a post I had read from one [...]

Well, it’s that time of year again – summer bbqs, heading to the beach, slathering on the sunscreen. Yep, it’s Christmas time in the southern hemisphere. It’s amazing how fast time has gone by, I’ve been here almost two months now and sometimes it feels like I just got here.

This past weekend, I went [...]

I woke up today to the sounds of Christmas Carols and marching bands – apparently the Holiday season has officially began with the Santa Parade along Queen Street, and the start of the parade was right across the street from where I’m living. Who knew a parade would last four hours, so much for sleeping [...]
