If there is one thing that Kevin and I love more than a food walking tour, it’s a biking tour. We think it’s one of the best ways to see a city and get some low-impact exercise all at once. And besides, after several days in Santa Fe, we could…
Adventure Travel
So it’s going to sounds weird, but our latest 2 day road trip adventure was pretty much inspired (okay, completely!) by my computer’s desktop wallpaper. You’ve all seen the shot, I’m sure. It’s that unmistakable river bend known as horseshoe canyon. But to me, it resembles an island on some…
It’s a road trip adventure! Two weeks in New Zealand is a good chunk of time. Now don’t get me wrong — Kevin and I could have easily spent a month driving around. But sadly, as our fellow Americans know all too well, we only had 2 weeks of vacation….
Kevin and I have been in New Zealand for nearly 2 weeks and the action hasn’t stopped. He’s soon going to think that I’m TRYING to kill him. But who would keep this blog up and running? Three words: ultimate job security! Kevin is totally geared for New Zealand. His…
It’s unreal to think that a year has passed since Kevin and I got married in downtown Los Angeles after 13 years together. And as we joke, in gay years, it’s even longer! How quickly a year passes. I feel so lucky. To celebrate our 1-year wedding anniversary, we’d be…
Milford Sound is remote. Very remote. It’s here that you’ll find New Zealand scenery on a scale you’ve likely never experienced. But is it worth the 4+ hour drive ONE WAY from Queenstown just to see nature? In short, yes. As I told Kevin, it would be like flying halfway…
Queenstown remains one of my favorite places in all of New Zealand. Call me an adrenaline junkie, but I love all the insane activities you can do here. I first came to Queenstown in my early 20’s as a student where I braved jumping off the Kawarau Bridge, the first-ever…
A trip to New Zealand wouldn’t be complete without a stop in Rotorua, located about a 3 hour drive south east of Auckland on the North Island. If you’re looking for a quiet, pastoral village… Well, Rotorua might not be the right place for you. This town is buzzing with…
We finally arrived in New Zealand! After the 13-hour New Zealand Air flight direct from Los Angeles, we were ready to get out and explore. Like most travelers, Auckland will be your first stop. But don’t make the mistake of skipping it. After all, this is New Zealand’s largest city…
California’s gold country, just east of Sacramento stretching across El Dorado, Amador, Tuolumne and Calaveras counties, is always an adventure. And I’m not just saying that because it snowed several inches this past visit (which I completely did NOT expect!). We aren’t in Los Angeles, that’s for sure! I don’t…
