My time in New Zealand has come to a close. It's been a rush - I've covered just about every bit of coast on the South Island, shot through the north, and seen so much scenic, incredible, varied pieces of nature that I've become rather jaded. ... Read more >

Jordan caught a flight out of Christchurch early this morning, while Gabe and I began the laborious act of hitchhiking out.

As we pulled into Christchurch we slammed into the back of a car and had the favor quickly returned.
Haha, a bit of a traumatic start, right?
Still, traveling this long without any major incidents, I suppose we were about due. Nobody was hurt ... Read more >

In the morning Gabe and I woke up and began to slowly gather together our things. Jordan had left early in the morning to skydive Fox Glacier, which is supposedly the number two skydive in the world. Around 11 he returned and we got underway, making ... Read more >

Leaving Hokitika Gabe and I decided to hike and hitch as rides had been few and far between. There was a hairy moment when we had to run across a bridge, but you could see the car coming for miles (sorry, kilometers) down the road.

Sometimes things just work out.
Hitching on the west coast has been way slower than the east as we move south. Last night we got stranded in Reefton, a small mining town, after six hours of trying to get a ride. Today we only made it to Hokitika ... Read more >
