More Visitors!

Last week our friend Krispy visited from New Jersey. How great is that? Literally, one night he drunk-skyped Kyle & I asking, “if I came out for a visit, could I stay with you guys?” I said, “of course”, but didn’t think much of it. New Zealand is a long journey. Well the very next [...]

March…?

March….March felt like a blurry dream, that literally went by in two seconds.  Mostly due to the fact that we had our friends Mary & Emily visiting, so they kept us pretty busy.  Kyle & I had purposely saved certain activities  to do with the girls. So in a way, it was like another vacation [...]

Less Blogging, More Visitors!

I haven’t blogged in a while & am not happy about it.  Kyle & I have had our friends Mary & Emily staying (!!) so we’ve been busy exploring the country. I can’t even tell you how wonderful it’s been catching up & showing them what we’ve been up to the past few [...]

People Who Feed Kyle: Volume 2

Back when I first moved to Hoboken, I was lucky enough to coincidentally move onto the same street as my friend Nina.  Literally, we were 7 or so steps away from each other. Strange enough, a few months later, my friend Emily randomly found an apartment in the same building that Nina lived in. How [...]

Wishful Summer Reading

For the most part, I am completely out of the loop with what’s going on back at home.  When it comes to news, movies, books, and music,  all I know is what New Zealand tells me… which isn’t a whole lot.

So it’s always a shocker when something has quietly made an appearance to the world [...]

Speaking Of Tattoos…

Did I ever show you a picture of my latest tattoo?  I got it back in late August/early September to celebrate the trip to New Zealand. It’s an earth from the view point of the southern hemisphere, with Latin underneath translating to, “prepared for all things“. It was an optimistic gift to myself that everything [...]

The Mole

I don’t know about you, but I am soooo OVER piercings. I feel like they hit their boom back in 2001-2002 and now should be something few and far between.  The only exceptions should be:

if it’s part of your culture
a piercing that has been there forever
or if it fits your personality perfectly. I’ve met people [...]

Vodka, We’re Breaking Up

Since leaving LA, I have not touched one drop of vodka.  It wasn’t a decision made for any real reason. I didn’t wake up one morning and think, “hey, lets see how long I can go without vodka”.  Basically,  buying bottles of vodka are super expensive here, and if you go out to the pubs [...]

Big Day Out 2010!

Big Day Out is a HUGE touring music festival (starts here in New Zealand and then makes a few stops through Australia) that Kyle, a few friends, and I had the pleasure of going to last weekend.

SO much fun.  We packed up, grabbed some beers for the road, and took the three hour trip down [...]

Ahhh The Beach

Obviously being an Island, you don’t have to travel far to find a beach here in New Zealand.  Yesterday, Kyle & I had the day off together, so decided to check out this beach that was supposed to be absolutely unreal.

Maitai Bay – about an hour and a half north from where we [...]
