• Last-minute panic

  22 July 2017 | Calligraphy | READ MORE

  Knowing how much we’re into photos, our friends gave us photobook vouchers for Christmas last year. I found out in May that they were going to expire in early June… so I had to rush to select, edit, and lay out the photos for two photobooks! For the cover title, of course, I wanted to […]

• God looks into the heart.

  17 July 2017 | Calligraphy | READ MORE

  One day, I said something innocent (and empathic—or so I thought), but it turned out to be a little offensive. I was gutted because I was misunderstood. One of the reasons why I sometimes don’t share my opinion is because I’m trying to be careful with everything I say (apart from the fact that I’m […]

• Lake Tekapo

  10 July 2017 | Travel | READ MORE

  It would have been nice to do the walks in Lake Tekapo but we sadly didn’t have time. It was literally a sad day, in fact, because on this day we had to head back to Christchurch, return our campervan, and fly back home.     Side story: In the common kitchen, I saw a […]

• Arrowtown

  9 July 2017 | Travel | READ MORE

  We consistently woke up at around 6am everyday, during the entire trip. I think we were simply excited to start early, and make the most of the short winter day. And we also want to use the common shower before everyone else does so that it’ll still be squeaky clean.           […]

• Queenstown

  On the photo is the view of Lake Wakatipu from Queenstown. We stumbled upon this area while looking for parking for our gigantic campervan. After a quick rest by the lake, we tried our luck again (with Google’s help) and found the Boundary Street Car Park, which has designated campervan parking spaces. Of course, we […]

• Milford Sound to Queenstown

  The best part of the Milford Sound experience was…just about everything.

  There’s no phone reception anywhere in Milford Sound. It feels so good to be offline. Offline is indeed the new luxury.            

• Crown Range Summit

  8 July 2017 | Photography | READ MORE

  I found Crown Range Summit through the CamperMate app, and we originally planned to do freedom camping here on our second night. There were no other campervans in sight when we got there; other cars would just come and go. Fearing that our heavy van would get blown away to the cliff while we’re sleeping […]

• Mount Cook National Park

  8 July 2017 | Photography | READ MORE

  I wish we could have spent at least one full day here, and do some of the walks. We’ll be back for sure–maybe next winter, some time around my birthday again. 😀              

• Glentanner Park Centre

  5 July 2017 | Photography | READ MORE

  We arrived in Glentanner Park Centre a little shy of 8pm. Families of rabbits greeted us–there were probably 50 of them, seriously. This holiday park allows you to choose your own spot (others just assign you one). For safety reasons, Marco picked a spot just a few metres away from the other campervans. I slightly […]
