An Unexpected Journey: Job hunting in NZ
... email the kind lady processed mine in a day when usually it takes 4 weeks!). It’s such a short time-frame you have to process all of this, so hunting through boxes over skype with my sister was not an option. One thing I’ve learned is that if you don’t ask, you don’t get….more often than not, people do want to help - especially if you explain your helpless situation a long, long way from home and what a difference their help could make to your ...
The Taupo Kayak & Legend of the Nics Bungy
... The objective was to touch the water but as the rope had not warmed up, neither the girl who went first for the day or I made it. The crew had told us not to jumpoff the platform as well and let ourselves fall which would increase the chances of us going in but it didn’t work. I was a bit gutted, especially when the guy who went third after me came up from his jump soaking wet. Still it was brilliant and the surrounding area was a beautiful location in which to do ...
New friends, new heights

So fun – you just lay back and enjoy the ride. We did wet zorbing which meant there was warm water in the zorb with us. You had to enter the zorb by super man diving in it – the first time I was the first to enter and I over shot how much I had to dive and ended up ...
Lysmaskar, äggmök och fallskärm
... en träbänk och fick så småningom en syrgasmask över munnen. Hopbuntade som djur inför slakt satt vi där medan planet cirklade uppåt, runt sin egen axel. Vi satt så i ungefär en kvart innan det var dags för första stoppet på 12 000 fot. Vi kände att om vi ändå skulle göra det så kunde vi lika gärna slå på stort, så vi gjorde det från 15 000 fot vilket skulle ge oss ett fritt fall på 65 sekunder i över 200 km/h. Det är en smula bisarrt att bli ombedd att vika benen ...
