Winter and Spring excursions around Auckland
Our first “let’s go away and see something else” couple of days were middle of July, when we needed a break from job offers, CVs, applications… We were actively job seeking for more than a month, without much success… Alex was in between interviews and I was nowhere… just waiting…
Settling in Auckland: Jobs, Furniture, Cooking, Worm compost & Garden
While summer is coming to Auckland, I decided I should take my fingers out of my pockets and write a little bit about what happened down here. Since we came back from Australia in June, Alex found a full time job in the city and we moved to our house…

Back to Auckland – 22/02/2015
In Wellington, we went south to find a free camping area, still quite close to the city, which was pretty interesting. It was, as all the time in Wellington, pretty windy. But we appreciated the view on the Cook Strait at the end of the day. Owhiro Bay, south of…
