We arrived in New York very early, feeling exhausted after an overnight flight from San Francisco. San Fran is a lovely city too, but New York has this energy, and vibe … Continue reading A small slice of the big apple

reminiscing of old times…Prague
Earlier today I accidentally came across some of my old pictures from beautiful Prague. I called Prague home for just over six month back in 2012/2013. Good times and bad times, it was a great experience, random decision to run away and then living overseas with no friends, no plan and limited finances. On my last day, I packed my bags, then packed a couple … Continue reading reminiscing of old times…Prague

Coffee time
Last week my friend Maria asked me about the current coffee situation in Auckland. Maria (hello there and I miss you :)) has been living in London for a little while now, and most times when we talk on the phone, the conversation swings towards a discussion about local (for both of us) prices. We covered most areas already (movies, food, transport…) so sure enough … Continue reading Coffee time
