October 29 ( am writing this 2 weeks later , haven’t had time to write a blog ) It was with some trepidation that I arrived in Christchurch about 2 weeks ago ...as many of you know I was in the centre of Christchurch on February 21 2011 when the big earthquake struck ( see my previous blog about that ) and I have always felt that I was definitely one of the lucky ones to escape with my life and...

Keeping this travel blog enables me to reflect and record my journeys as well as communicate with my family and friends. I shouldn't be amazed me that complete strangers in this travel community will want to read about what I am up to as they are a great bunch of folk. I have swapped my home and hospitality for many years now and always I have met such wonderful open, generous and friendly people. Travelling alone lots of the time I am never lonely ..there is always the travelblog to keep me company. Planning for future trips and onwards now. Don't let the grass grow under you feet. ... full info

Earthquakes in NZ
Interesting to read of your return to Christchurch and reliving memories of the earthquake that took place on 21 February 2011 while you were there. I too am saddened from your blog that the Cathedral has not been rebuilt. We heard of an earthquake in Auckland recently but have not heard further so presume any damage was not significant. Like other paradises, New Zealand also has its dangers. Glad you are enjoying the wonderful hospitality of the Kiwis, Lynne.

New Zealand is a place we want to go to
We want to visit New Zealand so bad. We have been thinking about for many years but during the New Zealand summer we have too little time off from our jobs so we can't make a trip for as long as we would like to. One day we'll make it though. /Ake

Wonderful NZ
Wonder yes it’s a wonderful place and so varied . I’m lucky to be here for my third time ... but I was a late starter on this long haul,travel so it wasn’t until I was in my sixties that I had my first trip here . And I think you are a lot younger than me so you’ve got plenty time to plan your future trip !
