Bear with me, I’ll get to the point eventually (hopefully). A couple of weeks ago, the 25th of July to be specific, I called up my mum for a little help bringing a new desk chair home. The only reason that’s relevant is because it meant that mum was able to give me a few…
That feeling when they know your name, know your order, know a bit about who you are — even if you’ve never really talked. A few thoughts on what it means to be known, just a little.
Much of my time in Brisbane was spent working at The Lion Richlands restaurant.Was there a real lion? No. Was it a circus sometimes? Maybe a little, but what workplace isn’t. If you’ve been following Kleo and I for a while now you’ll know that we came to Brisbane for the purpose of finding work…
10:30pm tonight (or there abouts) marks one year since I landed in Australia. One year since I finished 9 months of travel through eastern Europe. And what a year it has been! In that year I A very full year and I don’t think I’d have done anything differently. There has also been a lot…
The sun rises on our backs, the cool air bites against our cheeks, and the gentle wash of waves fills the silence.

Monday the 20th February 2023 marked exactly one year since Kleo the Kererū and I left New Zealand. A year of adventure that I never expected. In the lead up to leaving I had no clue where I would go, what I would do, how long I would be gone for.I told myself make it…

We are almost three weeks into 2023, a year that for me is filled with even more unknowns than the last and that’s saying something. Whilst travelling to new places was surprising and unsure there was a direction of sorts to keep going. Coming into 2023, I don’t entirely know whats next or how long…
We’re halfway through September, and nearly 7 months since I left New Zealand back in February.A lot has happened since then—adventures in Türkiye, dog care in Bulgaria, and teaching in Romania—and that’s barely the tip of the iceberg. (Hopefully I’ll find time to share more stories and pictures soon) Romania was a journey I didn’t…
It’s 2:10 am in the morning, after an excellent evening of fun, questions, and perhaps more than a few drinks. We are now into week three of camp in Paltinis and under new management providing an array of fresh and perhaps unexpected changes. It will take a few days to adjust to the fresh energy…
