Glad to have been introduced to your blog!

Great that you have had a similar circuitous route from the US via Asia to NZ. It’s a good path, isn’t it?

I was holding my breath reading that! Every relationship needs one realist and one dreamer (That’s me in our relationship. Hello!) and it’s great to see that you were influenced by your partner’s vision so we could all read this lovely blog you’ve written as a result. We’ve been here 10 years by way of the US, the UK, Vietnam and Japan and hope to one day afford a rural property. Until then, it’s great to find another Kiwi blogger. There really aren’t enough of us down here!

500 trees. If you do anything with them that’s a LOT of work. But on the other hand if you do you’ll have enough wood for the fire for years once it dries out (takes a good year to do that though…)
