The first time I saw the aurora was last year when I ventured all the way from the bottom of the world to the top of the world. It took 5 flights and about 2 entire days to get there from Australia. I’m sure it doesn’t actually take that long, we just had a problem […]

Woodford Folk Festival for first timers

Larissa’s Solo Adventure of South Island, New Zealand – Part 2
Following on from Part 1 of Larissa’s Solo adventure of South Island, New Zealand I left Wanaka to climb that pesky mountain that is called Roy’s Peak.
