Travel Buddies and 6 Small Rooms Hostel
While travelling Napoli, Owen and I stayed at a hostel in the city called 6 Small Rooms. The hostel had about 4 floors and such a fun feel. The walls were painted in beautiful murals and the common spaces was awesome. They also provided breakfast in the morning of pastries and fruit. We met so many...
The City of Chaos
The first thing I thought when I arrived into the heart of Napels was “you’ve got to be joking”. I had never seen anything like it. Allow me to break some things down for you. Firstly the smoking culture. You cannot walk 10 meters without encountering someone smoking a cigarette. The street is overw...
Prague (Zoo)
Day 1 in Prague, at 4pm we decided to go to the zoo. Now we knew the zoo was going to close by 7pm, but how long do you really need to spend at a zoo anyway.

The buildings are decorated with so many ornamental colours and stonework - there’s little turrets and flicks of gold everywhere. No matter where...

We started out going to a gorgeous pub called bar one where we met Holly for lunch. We had some cocktails and a tasty meal and then parted ways with Wendy and Holly a...
London (First 2 days)

There’s this huge modern building called the shard and in the skyline it contrasts the dozens of old buildings and churches in a very unique way. A few of the back streets themselves kind of feel like New Zealand, o...
Transit through China
Transiting through China was WILD. I landed in Haikou after 12 hours in the air and immediately knew I was in some foreign place. Despite it being early morning, as I hoped off the plane I was greeted with 28°C humidity. We walked down the steps onto the tarmac and there was nothing around. No build...
