It has been a while. I suspect most of you did not realize but the last newsletter was in 2022....Normal flights from LAX to New Zealand were just about to re-start, I was talking about planning holidays and hoping for all of us that this pandemic would teach us all to “slow down” and appreciate more.. 36 months later? It’s not slow down, it’s warp speed...

Whenever I have the chance to guide travellers who have trusted me to venture outside of the usual touristy kiwi spotlights, I make a point of spending a few days in my hometown, Dunedin. And I always get the same feedback….”now we know why you live here…”.
