I am starting my New Year in style! I will be exploring the North Island with my pal in a camper van with the Irish flag emblazoned upon it. I feel very patriotic with a dash of expat missing home nostalgia. The sun setting in Taupo, 2015 New Years Eve in Taupo New Years ...
We had our fun. We met on a blustery evening almost 3 months ago. The rain licked my face & my hair hung wildly. We liked each other instantly. Even in the dark cold night I could see all the potential you possessed; your beauty, the fun & friendships you could open me to, the great ...
I have a plan! Well, not so much a plan as a proposal of intention. I’m going to the South Island at the start of January to discover & explore for a few weeks. At the end of January I’m flying from Christchurch to Wellington in time for the Rugby 7s. Perfect! By this time I hope ...
I moved house yesterday & I am having a potential crisis over what I’m doing with my life etc, etc. I was not put here to work for minimum wage & struggle by. I have a laugh, but there’s got to be more. I generally have 2 meltdowns a year: one is around the time ...
I have exactly 4 weeks of accommodation sorted in Wellington. After this I have to find somewhere new to live here or move on. I am at a total crossroads. I am safe in optimism that I will be happy with either choice.

This was me today. I checked my account online to discover $7.60 resting in my account. I thought there was at least $100. I haven’t done anything extravagant this week. I thought I was being good. The horror & the need to accept, adjust my spending & move on. I do not want to make ...
I am working a dead end job for minimum wage. After tax this equates to £5 per hour. I was earning 10 times this in Switzerland. That is depressing. To be fair, the living costs & expenses in New Zealand are considerably less than Switzerland. However I don’t believe the minimum wage in New Zealand ...
I want another piercing. After not being pierced for around 15 years I am averaging one a month for the past 3 months. My next one I want is very low eyebrow/ side of eye bar. I can’t even find a picture of it online. It would be positioned at the end of a cat ...
“Normal life”, I’m doing it! I’m NAILING it! I work 5 days a week, I meet friends & go for coffees. I go to the cinema, go for brunch, go for lunch. I meet people for drinks. Frequently. I go to see plays, I go to the museum, I go for walks & explore. I ...
