Greetings from Queenstown, New Zealand!
I would love to update my blog as I go along with all my NZ adventures (run-ins with possoms, eating worms and friend cow tits at the Wild Foods Fest, and bungee jumping) but it's difficult while traveling. I have to pay for internet services at cafes and time is money. Also, most don't allow me to import my photos to my blog.
I'm writing everything down and will update my blog with all my adventures from NZ with pictures after I return home on April 15. So please check back after that time.
Cheers!
Steph

Hi, just found your blog and have been totally fascinated. Especially loved the Weather questions and the quotation "Our greatest fear..." (Nelson Mandela used it in his inaugural speach and I've always felt it ring true".
Hope you're having a great time wherever you are now.
