Posted on September 12, 2013 by Erin Walton | 6 Comments

While overseas, I regularly find that people are shocked by my being Australian and not being a pro-surfer. Oddly enough, that I don’t hunt crocodiles, bellow “Crikey!” or ride in a ‘roo’s pouch seems to escape scathing popular opinion. But admitting to not being able to surf? Wow, I almost need boxing kangaroo gloves to defend that one. In any…

Featured Writer: Chelsea Bond Stuart Studying abroad is everything and nothing like I’ve expected. Traveling on the weekends, uni events throughout the week, and as much as I would like to I can’t completely forget that I am actually attending classes here, too.

For those of you who don’t know, Solscape is an Eco Retreat and Progressive Learning Centre located ‘a comfortable’ 6 kms from Raglan. They describe themselves as providing a ‘diverse range of accommodation which has been…

Having worked a stressful job for numerous years – it was time to quit…. The funds were in place for some world travel before heading back to school to do an MA. But where to begin? We needed a place to relax and unwind, but also somewhere that we could indulge ourselves in the great outdoors. And so, my sister…

Everyone scrambled to put the rain flies on the tents because we had chosen to sleep without them during…
