Moreaki Boulders First stop for us was at the Moreaki Boulders. […]

Somehow New Zealand was not the easiest start for us, being a bit shocked because all was so busy and suddenly we are back in a world where need to act according to stricter rules. Just looking for a campsite, not that easy anymore, as it is heavily regulated nowadays. […]
You remember this one from the last blog post? Hong Kong, bright and shiny as it is described in travel guides and as you experience it on most of the sightseeing tours?! Well, there is also another side of the coin. When you leave the main roads and head into […]
