Tiffany and Greg Around the World
On the Road, NZ We sometimes think that travel does, in fact, broaden one’s horizons. Gives perspective, understanding if you will, of persons individually and peoples as a whole. For example, we now understand that, as a people, Kiwis are pretty dang witty. Billboard ad in Auckland – dude, true that. As we wander down …
French Ridge hut Mt. Aspiring National Park, NZ Notices posted on the kitchen wall of French Ridge hut: Seriously, we freaking love these people. By now we’ve mentioned it enough that you’re probably asking “Hey guys? What are these huts and wardens and whatnot you keep talking about?”
Helensville, NZ In case you hadn’t noticed yet, we LOVE Bacon!! We know, you probably never would have guessed that we were vegetarians for 4 years because we talk about bacon so much.

Munich, Germany One of several murals over the urinals in Oktoberfest beer tents. Who do these people think they are, Kiwis!? We did our very best to have as authentic an experience as we could at Oktoberfest

London, England, UK And now a brief interlude from our normally scheduled blogging. Greg’s sister and her husband live in London and we had the good fortune to be able to join them for their 5th wedding anniversary. It should be noted that we did not come to London for the games. But come on, …
Helensville, New Zealand As we’ve previously noticed, the lines between rural and urban New Zealand are quite blurred. Sheep can be found in the middle of their largest city, and when we tell New Zealanders that we lived in Helensville for a few weeks they said, “Oh, that’s in Auckland”. Which it’s not. It’s about …
Helensville, NZ With Greg’s mom’s departure came the next phase of our adventure. And, like every other part of this journey, it was not what we expected. This time was different though because the surprise was not a good one. What this entry should have been about were the chronicles of us finding and holding …
