"Sheep!" I shouted to Liann with my nose pressed against the window as our huge Boing 747 came into land at Auckland, New Zealand. Over the past 6 months I regularly found myself comparing foreign landscapes to back home, but this was the first time I had seen little white fluffy sheep littering rolling green hills! At the airport, we collected our bags and said our farewells to Scott, I had a feeling it wouldn't be for long! Unsure how we were going to tra...

On our flight to the country I had read an article about travelling Fiji on a budget. Our next hostel, The Beachouse came highly recommended. Somewhere between a mini resort and a hostel The Beachouse attracts both travellers and families to come and stay in one of their private cabanas or the 6 bed dorms.

We arrived at our hostel which was in a great location only one block from Waikiki beach where we were met by possible the most useless reception staff. We've managed to check in to Hotels in San Pedro Sula with no mu...

When camping with Mika in Yosemite, she was foolish/generous enough to offer us a place to stay when we reached LA. After our day in South LA we arrived at Mika's gated apartment complex weary and restful. At the weekend we would spend time with Mika but first we wanted to get into Hollywood and do some touristy things. We walked the walk of fame taking photos of our favourite celebrities' stars from Stephen Spielberg to Micky Mouse then to the Grumans Chine...
