I’m currently sat on my sofa under the coziest blanket I own, with two snoring (and dreaming – twitchy paws!) kittens either side of me as the snow falls outside. I was perusing the internet on my laptop …which led to me placing a somewhat extravagant madewell order… and clicked my way across here, to […]

One of the things I’m really struggling with during the lockdown is the fact that we can’t travel. For me, my mind only seems to truly switch off when I’m exploring somewhere new. Travelling is my way of hitting my mental ‘refresh’ button. It’s almost as though by processing more immediate physical decisions like “which […]

Well, here it is! The last post from our road trip around beautiful, beautiful New Zealand. We flew into Queenstown from Sydney – it was a three hour flight with one of the coolest, but also scariest, landings ever. The approach to the runway is between two mountains, and we were treated to an insane […]

Milford Sound has been on my bucket list for the longest time. It’s one of the better known sights in New Zealand, and I was excited to see it for myself after having stared photos in magazines, books, and blogs for so long! It’s strange, but I actually felt a little apprehensive as we drove […]

While we were in Wanaka, we decided to take a little drive to the nearby Mount Aspiring National Park. We were quite tired from travelling, so we decided not to take on any of the longer hikes. Instead, we drove around, took in the beautiful scenery, and did a couple of shorter walks. First, we […]
