After a 12.5 hour flight to Singapore where we hopped onto another 10 hour flight to Auckland, we arrived at the apartment at around 12:50pm feeling strangely awake! The apartment was perfect for what we needed. We spent to nights here before heading to the airport again to fly to Wellington.
Not a huge amount was done in Auckland due to t…
Okay, so here goes...
Well, (man, its difficult writing about yourself!) I am 29 years young from the UK and have THE most itchiest feet I have ever experienced! I have a very wonderful and supportive family and the best friends anyone could ever ask for. I guess you could call me lucky! But no, my name is Natalie, so call me that!
You could say that I am a late developer in the whole travelling sense as its been something I have wanted to do for a number of years now, only this tim…

You could say that I am a late developer in the whole travelling sense as its been something I have wanted to do for a number of years now, only this time I am actually going to do it. Oh my god, I am so excited.
I am such a 'giving' person this is my time to do something completely for myself. It'll be just my rucksack and me and I cannot wait!
I have been planning this trip in my head, with the odd few alterations, for years and the whole trip will begin in New Zealand. I thought it was a good place to start as my brother moved out there 7 months ago so it meant I could have a great 'family holiday' with the adventure of a lifetime beginning afterwards.
With my Working Holiday Visa I will be travelling around both the North and South islands and will also go and visit Australia too. I plan to visit India at some point, but who knows where I'll end up.
I spent 3 amazing weeks in Thailand travelling around, I totally fell in love with the country and its people. It cemented the feelings I already had about seeing the world.
Friends would probably describe me as being laid back (too laid back for some, hey Corrina!) easy to talk to, easy to get along with, happy, quite mad at times, funny (I like to make people laugh - I think it is the best sound in the world) and supportive. Dont get me wrong, I dont want you thinking I am a saint, I have been known to get a little moody from time to time but on the whole it takes a lot to make me p*ssed off. I am the sort of person who would do anything for anyone but thanks to lifes lessons, I know when someone is pushing it. I have become wise! HA, who would have guessed it!
To begin with I found it a little bit daunting the thought of travelling alone but now I am excited about meeting new people with similar interests and outlooks.

Wow, I haven't been on here for a while..!
It's now an unbelievable 6 weeks until departure for New Zealand, the time has really flown!
Nearly everything I can possibly do before heading to NZ…
New Zealand - The Planning Stages!
Its getting to the point now where I am getting so organised that I just want to book my flights and load up my backpack!
I am heading out with my folks for …
