preview!


A sneak peak for the next 2 weeks of spring break

Julie, Ivana, Sophie and I are renting a van and touring the south island, primarily around Queenstown, the extreme sports capital of the world!

this is the van i requested, but if it's not available we'll get some other "sweet as" van!




My kind of guy!

Sir Francis Chichester
A renowned yachtsman, Chichester also made a succession of history-making flights in the early years of aviation. Prior to this he was a salesman, and for some while rode a motorcycle in New Zealand.

1929: Solo flight from London to Sydney. 14,561 miles (23,297 km) in 182.5 flying hours. Total time: 41 days

1931: Solo first across the Tasman Sea from Auckland via Norfolk and Lord Howe Islands to Jervis Bay, Australia.

"To a man of imagination, a map is a window to adventure."
"Life is an adventure or nothing at all."
Sir Francis Chichester.
