TRAVEL AND LIFESTYLE DIARIES

Castlepoint, Wellington Region North Island, New Zealand Travel Period: May 2018 This part of the road trip was probably the lowest point we've had due to a long and tasking drive, although it ended up nicely, well unexpectedly lovely actually.

Bluff Hill, Napier Hawkes Bay Region, New Zealand Travel Period: May 2018 As we continued our road trip, we went from Auckland to Rotorua, where we visited the Whakarewarewa living Maori village, checked out the Night Market in Whakarewarewa town, and went for a lovely mud bath spa. We decided to camp overnight at Lake Okareka, and we were greeted with a stunning view of the lake in the morning during our outdoor breakfast. What an amazing sight! 

Lake Okareka Rotorua, Bay of Plenty Region North Island, New Zealand Travel Period: May 2018 In Rotorua, we camped the night at the Lake Okareka DOC campsite, and this is our view the next day, whilst having breakfast in the early morning. Isn't it beautiful and humbling?

Rotorua, Bay of Plenty Region North Island, New Zealand Travel Period: May 2018 Rotorua is the heart of the North Island and is famous for its geothermal activity. There are hot springs and hot mud pools here. It is a spa paradise! Moi covered in healing mud.

Whakarewarewa "Maori" Village Rotorua, Bay of Plenty Region, North Island, New Zealand Travel Period: May 2018 In Maori culture, sticking out the tongue means showing your strength, but really, I cannot help but laugh, haha.

Dublin, Ireland Travel Period: September 2019 After the business meeting in the morning, which went pretty well, by the way, I made my way to the Powerscourt Centre.
