 Hiking around Mt. Taranaki was intense...

 All you gotta do is watch...just watch...

 To satisfy my hunger for hiking, me and my american friend Kea went hiking around Hamilton'v volcano, Mt. Pirongia and found some of the coolest looking cows ever!! 

 Coromandel = Pure Epic Asskickery

 So i get this call from my american friend marc and he says, "hey nate, ive planned this weekend hiking trip to taupo, wanna come?" and my immediate response was, "HECK YESS MISTER MARC!!"

heres just a few of my favorite experiences in Samoa

If i could describe the true meaning of paradise, it would be Samoa During the 2 week study break, i went to samoa and had a multitude of wicked unforgettable experiences. while i was there, i 'couchsurfed'. couch surfing is a networking site for travelers. to learn more check out the site. http://www.couchsurfing.org/

 As the weather hasn't been sufficiently accommodating to allow me to go on full-weekend trips I've been forced to resort to day trips instead.

Fortunately, I am lucky enough to have a long list of alternative plans to draw upon, one of which being a visit to the majestic Wairere Falls.

Last week, so I've been told, marked the official beginning of Spring. I'm not really an expert on seasons, but I grew more and more convinced that Spring had come as last week progressed. Studying and playing the guitar out on the deck (or porch, as some would call it) of my Orchard Park cottage started to become near-habitual. However, with these first Spring days came a longing; a longing for the ocean.

 Just got back from watching the opening ceremonies and first game of the Rugby World Cup!
