…CONCRETE JUNGLE WHERE DREAMS ARE MADEEE OFFFF! I can’t believe people actually live there and its not just a huge movie set! So surreal seeing this city in real life and I definitely wasn’t ready for how magic it is. By the end of this blog I would’ve run through what we did in our […]
A BIT OF WHAT I’VE GOT TO SAY
16:8 FASTING
[16:8 is a fast where I eat for 8 hours and don’t eat for 16 hours. I choose the 8 hour window and I’ve gone with 10.30am – 6.30pm. I don’t follow rules at the best of times so I didn’t want too many rules and restrictions so I simply start eating around 10.30am and […]
MIND YOUR OWN UTERUS
When often asked about when I’m going to have a baby, I answer it like someone has asked when I’m going to jump out of a plane. “Not too sure, probably not anytime soon”. The past few years this question has come up so many times that I’ve now grown a protective layer of an […]
A LETTER TO MYSELF [BEFORE MOVING TO FRANCE]
“You can never do something for the first time, twice”. You’ve known about the move for around 9 months, completed a few weeks of French lessons, have numerous people tell you how exciting this is and how lucky you are but you have no idea… no idea what’s ahead. You’ll pack your life and belongings into a couple […]
A MONTH ABROAD RE-CAP
A MONTH ABROAD RE-CAP This is the longest we’ve been away on holiday all at one time. Ihaia hasn’t had 4 weeks off in a row from rugby as the breaks don’t work like that in NZ and in France the season goes for literally 11 months [10 months of games, around 1 month for […]
CROATIA + MEDSAILORS
Our main reason for travelling to Croatia was to sail the Croatian islands with a company called MedSailors. We choose the “Discovery” route which starts in Split, goes around some islands then finishes back at Split. We booked the Catamaran that holds up to 9 guests with 4 double bedrooms + the skipper. As this […]
AMALFI COAST
Ahhhh, the dreamy Amalfi Coast. We landed in Naples at 11pm and had pre-organised a private transfer from the airport to our accomodation on the Amalfi Coast in Praiano which was around a 1.5hr drive. It was the most expensive option but also the easiest, train and bus are other ways to get to the […]
HEY! WE’RE GOING TO IBIZA
OOOOHK, so. We knew Ibiza was a party island and we’re not huge partiers but it caught our attention, so we went. And this is how it was for us. We flew Santorini [4am take off] to Barcelona then another flight into Ibiza that landed at 8am. Unfortunately our bags didn’t make it from Barcelona […]
SANTORINI
After landing in Santorini at 1am, the excitement of day one had us up for breakfast at 9.30am and ready to explore. We left the hotel at 11.30am and started with a walk along the main street in Oia, which was right outside our hotel. Its bright and white with cobbled streets, lots of souvenir […]
GALS GONE GLAMPING
Ahhh, Brooke and I are adventuring again. Having this kind of friend is SOUL ENRICHING. On my visit back home to NZ for a month, we planned a weekend to Nelson and booked Rabbit Island Glamping for our accomodation. FRIDAY I flew down to Nelson on Friday morning as Brooke was already down there for […]
