Dec Awesome Soph, we were talking about you today and wondering what you were up to. Sounds like you are getting stuck in! A far cry from the wineries of Waiheke Island. Keep it real.

Bren Sounds fun Soph... In a hard work sort of way. Definitely rewarding though :) I look forward to photos!! xx

Sue F Sophie, with your fantastic photos, this will make a wonderful book. Glad you enjoyed S America and know you will love NZ. Hugs xx

b Loved finally reading your blogs, so many memories! Enjoy New Zealand and Australia....Miss you, and look forward to hearing about your rest of adventures xx

Bren That Columbian salsa sounds phenomenal!! x

Dec can't help but to wonder how many times you cursed me on the rainy night?! ;)

Bren Difinitely not a 'cop out'! Sometimes you just know you'll never be able to describe a place/time/event with just words and do it justice. This gives us all micro-insights to your experience and our imaginations can fill in the rest. Very much enjoying the reads. Love Bren x

Dad Brilliant Soph, definitely feels I'm there with you with a parrot on my shoulder and a clear stream burbling nearby, laced with human warmth all around xxx

Jo Sounds so alive Sophie. Feels as if I am there with you! Safe travels. Sad to leave such a beautiful place but so many more adventures around the corner.x

Dominique awesome choos, i'm putting it on my list

rachael the way you write is like a book. Sounds amazing!
