Vancouver, British Columbia Aug 9, 2012 I had about 5 hours layover in Van so my friend Andrew, who I met in Paihia, picked me up at the airport and we went out for lunch. SOOOOO awesome to see him again!! :) Thanks Andrew!
Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island Aug 7, 2012 Didn't really get to do a lot here. But that's okay I guess because there isn't that much to do here anyway. Bridal shower, stagette, stagette, dinner with friends, wedding, dinner with friends, beach annnnnd gone. That pretty much sums it up. It was great to see the people who actually put in half an effort to make time to see me in the small window of opportunity.
Paihia, New Zealand Jul 17, 2012 So I stayed in Paihia until today. Had the best time ever. Lots of laughs, talks, adventures, tears (both happy and sad), and most importantly beers! Heading back to PEI for my sister's wedding. So sad to be leaving Paihia. It's like the end of an era.
Paihia, New Zealand Mar 19, 2012 Well... What can I say? I love this town! I've found a place to call home, that's for sure. Yes it's small, yes it's boring at times - mainly when the sun refuses to shine, but I love it just the same. So after arriving here in the beginning of the year, I find myself still living here with very little intention of moving on anytime soon. I really just can't bare the thought of leaving here. I'm back to my pattern of cleaning the hostel each morning in exchange ...
Paihia, New Zealand Feb 14, 2012 Stillllll in Paihia... Loving it. I've been thinking about just staying here for a super long time but I'm told it's pretty dead in the winter, so I'll have to wait and see what it's actually like. It's pretty quiet now and it's the middle of summer. I got a sweet new job as a photographer with Fullers/GreatSights. We do tours out into the bay everyday. Twice a day depending on what boat you're on for the day. So I get to see dolphins everyday, sometimes pengui...
