A Typical Backpackers’ Room Don’t let all the pretty views fool you: I am not traveling in luxury. This picture is a good example of the dorm rooms I’ve been staying in. They usually sleep 4-8 people (coed), in bunk beds (and I *despise* getting a top bunk), with a shared (sometimes coed) bathroom that is…

No good story, just a good picture of Wellington Why is it that every big city in New Zealand reminds me of San Francisco? As you can see, Wellington is beautiful, though everything in New Zealand tends to be that way. A little chilly and rainy while here, but the good hikes, sites and coffee…

Delivering Mail with Noel In Wanganui, I wanted to take a trip up the Whanganui River to see an abandoned bridge in the jungle that they now call “The Bridge to Nowhere.” To see it you have to drive a couple of hours up a paved/dirt road, then get on a jetboat for an hour…

The Start of a 22 Foot Drop New Zealand is known for all the crazy outdoor stuff you can do here, and I got my first taste of it last week in Rotorua when I did some whitewater rafting on the Kaituna River. This picture shows our raft about to drop over a 7 meter…

View from the top of Mt. Ngongotaha in Rotorua Three German guys and I decided to go on a last minute hike one afternoon. We didn’t really know where we were going, but found a trail and got to the top of this mountain/hill in about an hour. Since it was late, and dark in…

Auckland Harbor I arrived in Auckland a week ago with, amazingly, zero jet lag. My plan was to then rent a smart phone and post things from it, thereby avoiding time-sucking internet cafes. Alas, the only phones they rent here are jitterbug-like, so I’m stuck with the cafes…which means I’m probably not going to be…

Goodbye, friend! Friday was my last day at JibJab. They threw me a big sendoff at The Firehouse – pictured here– and it was a blast (from what little I remember…). A big thanks to the whole JJ team for a great party and a great 3+ years. I still loved everything about working there,…
