Queenstown looked like a perfect spot for some beers and dinner, but we wanted to continue our relaxed camp life and decided to save the parties for later. We did some quick shopping, drove a bit out of the town to Otago and stayed over night next to Lake Hayes. Perfect spot to enjoy some chilled Gibbston Valley Pinot Gris and watch how the lake is boiling under the stormy wind. Continue Reading
Our life on wheels
When you aim to explore countries like Australia or New Zealand a good option to go around is hiring a camper. In this post, I want to share some of our experiences in our life on wheels and learnings as new campers.

AUSSIE ROAD TRIP 4/5 (Real Aussie Bush)
You know the feeling when the car rental personnel’s voice in your head is reminding that you shouldn’t use the vehicle on any uncontrolled side roads or on loose gravel, while driving a bumpy and narrow dried creek, somewhere 600km south of Cairns.
Aussie Road Trip (3/5) – Tangalooma
Saying goodbye at 6am to Rudy, we started driving to catch the ferry to Tangalooma island. After 3 wrong turns and missing some exits, we managed to arrive in the harbor at 06:59, and miraculously got on the boat which leaves at 7am. Continue Reading
