Fleeing the Canadian winter!!!!!!!!
A year travelling in New Zealand/Australia... and insufficient contact with friends and family back home.

Anyway, I started with a couple entries for the beginning of my trip (some are composed of bits of emails I've written) and some for my most recent adventures.
