hey everyone! my name is Chelsi and I am from a little town in Illinois called Dixon. This is exactly why I love to travel! I never thought I would be able to afford to live my dreams but here I am! I moved to New Zealand last month and I'm here to document my adventurous year here!




Hello lovelies! Figured I should update this again since I had a great trip last weekend! We ventured up to the Coromandel Peninsula for a beautiful weekend away! As it is winter here, it is pretty chilly and rainy a lot, hence us not really taking any trips yet, but we needed a break from the city. We stayed in a wonderful hostel right by the beach and had a wonderful roommate from Canada who we befriended for the weekend. I'm telling you guys, the best part of traveling is meeting complete strangers and connecting right away! New Chums Beach-Read about this being a top 10 beach in New Zealand. This beach is a hidden gem! I was the only one there which was great! Cathedral Cove- Famous for it's beautiful views, and being in that ... read more

Hello you beautiful people! I'm just sitting here in my room and thought I would take the time to tell you all how and why I came to be in Auckland, realized I didn't really tell my backstory and what I've been up to besides my hike! So, flashback to January where I was once again stuck in Dixon, unhappy with everything, and wondering what to do next. Cue my long lost very persuasive best friend Sydney! This girl reached out to me and told me how amazing Australia and New Zealand were and set a fire under my ass to get out and travel again. So within a month of talking to her, my plane ticket was bought! Sold my car, a bunch of my stuff, and hopped on that plane! Now I actually went ... read more

Hello everyone! Welp, as you can see, I've decided to start a travel blog for my friends and family who want to follow my adventures, and also for myself of course! To sum it up, I moved to Auckland, New Zealand about 6 weeks ago and it's been a busy crazy time. I'm moved into a house with my best friend from highschool and another roomate, currently searching for a different job, and just settling in still! Obviously, it's becoming winter here so it's a little chilly and coming here drained my bank account so not many trips will be taken in the next few months but I wanted to tell you all about the one I took over the weekend! Now, I like to hike, i like the outdoors, and i like views. So what ... read more
