From pickled fat and stinky herring...

Dearest all,

I am about to start a new adventure, tomorrow evening I am flying out to New Zealand to spend three months there with a lose plan of hiking trips and WWOOF stays. It is my first big solo travel - the fact that both, scares and excites me. A year ago a mere thought of a three months solo travel was terrifying only, so maybe I have grown  since then. 

Blogging is also a first-time experience for me, guess I'm crossing into a lot of new territories here :). It's an attempt to maintain or restore some friendships, be more mindful about travel and exercise my editing skills. Please read it,  leave comments, travel suggestions, criticism and encouragement.

I am hopeful and cautiously happy ...
