Reflections on A Year Gone By

March 18, 2018July 1, 2018 / Jane / Leave a comment

It's a funny thing - blogging when you live in another country. In Australia, I was backpacking and wanted to remember my journey and share it with others. When you permanently live abroad it enters into debate of 'am I still travelling'? 'what box does it fit in' 'what should I tag my posts'? Is … Continue reading Reflections on A Year Gone By

A New City to Explore

September 19, 2017July 1, 2018 / Jane / Leave a comment

It's been nine months since we arrived in Wellington. My favourite Wellington fact? It is the first capital city in the world to see the sunrise each day. Pretty cool. We have been doing our very best to be resourceful, having sat for two more cats. One of these in a different city in the … Continue reading A New City to Explore

I don't doubt it - it can be very fierce! Everywhere we go, the people that we meet tell us this has been the worst … Continue reading A Newcomer’s Observations

It's been a busy few weeks...! As most of you know, we made the decision to move to New Zealand in January. It has been no mean feat to finish up working, pack up an entire flat of contents and pack for a significant extended time in a new country! Suffice to say there has … Continue reading Packing Up…

Melaka: The Last Stop of Our Malaysian Adventure

November 6, 2016October 22, 2017 / Jane / Leave a comment

Our introduction to Melaka (also known as Malacca) is an early one. Our night bus from Penang arrives about 6am. After a McDonald's breakfast, surrounded by many travellers heading by bus to Singapore, we jump on a local bus in the direction of our hotel. Chosen by Ben as it was in the 'centre of … Continue reading Melaka: The Last Stop of Our Malaysian Adventure
