So I haven’t really been around much at all lately, but life is keeping me very busy. As are the New Zealand photos I’m still working on! But the first part of the report should finally be up some time soon. In the meantime, I wanted to talk a bit about my plans for this […]
aka, A Quick Summary Week Three: No reliable internet. Week Four: So many activities, so little time. Week Five: Finally an actual holiday. Sorry for the lack of updates, but now that I’m back home, I’ll start sorting through my DSLR photos and writing up the whole trip. You know, between Arabic classes and writing […]
New Zealand hasn’t been any kinder to us in our second week than it was in our first. Probably even less so. First, our ferry from the North to the South Island was delayed, which meant we missed our connection and had to wait four hours for the next bus to Nelson. Birds & Seals […]

LONDON, ENGLAND 05—08 November, 2012
Sooooo, a lot of things have happened lately while I’ve been ever so slowly uploading Italy and London photos. (A report from London is still coming, stay tuned!) A while ago, the boyfriend said he wanted to take one last Big Trip before starting work properly. He officially graduates in September, but as of next […]
