Keeping this travel blog enables me to reflect and record my journeys as well as communicate with my family and friends.

I have swapped my home and hospitality for many years now and always I have met such wonderful open, generous and friendly people.

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 !
