I wouldn’t mind some of this Portuguese sunshine in New Zealand right now! As we are now approaching Matariki (Māori new year) I find myself reflecting on our past year and looking forward to new adventures to come 🙌❤️😊!
While working on US taxes this week, I’ve been reminded of all of our marvelous adventures on our 7 month excursion from June 2023- January 2024! Starting our adventure with only 2 small backpacks, we ended with 2 roller bags + 2 backpacks 😆. Although we didn’t live up to our initial lofty ideals regarding extreme minimalistic travel, we richly enjoyed connecting with old and new friends alike as we freelanced and travelled throughout the Northern hemisphere. With our own seasons of history in Austin TX, it was nice to visit again and see that the city still shines!
Week 4 we did some more construction and made a start on painting as well as more stained glass/ lead light restoration on the #bedford #housetruck #renovationproject for Andrew Jones . #nomadsaloud
been almost 3 months since we got back from our 7 month adventure in the Northern hemisphere 😲! I’ve just been reflecting on special experiences with friends like this one in Austin TX with my friend Amy ❤️. #natural gardener #austin #butterflygarden #nomadsaloud

Back in our old stomping grounds near Wellington. I never tire of camping at Ōwhiro Bay or exploring tide pools at Tapu Te Ranga marine reserve. Camping here over 10 years and watching it become more beautiful due to conservation efforts is an awe inspiring and hopeful story! #costalconservation #nzconservation #aotearoa #nomadsaloud #vanlifedreams

We’re back in Nee Zealand baby! 🙌 After almost seven months abroad in the Northern hemisphere we’ve returned to our van in lovely Kawhia Aotearoa ☁️ (the land of the long white cloud).
