If I haven’t posted in a few months it’s not because of illness or Netflix. Rather, I’ve been traveling a lot and too busy with a new job that makes me sound more important at cocktail parties but also requires a lot more mental space, so blogging has not been a priority, but it’s time to get back to it.

If you haven’t been to New Zealand, you have to go, it is the most stunning place I’ve ever been to and the whole trip feels like a 20-day long dream.

We started our trip in SLO, using the new airport terminal. It’s very cute. The rest of the journey is in the pictures below.

Auckland / Devenport

We went to a coffee shop called Seattle coffee, very fitting for a city that reminded us of Seattle, 7,000 miles away

We got a private tour of Devenport, a delightful journey around town with narration in a British accent.

PIES!

One of my favorite surprises from NZ, a Costa Rican ran the coffee shop located at the paragliding station. Coffee magic.

I ordered the “New Pie” and it was not a good idea. It photographs well, though.
