On the road again, just can’t wait to get on the road again What Willie Nelson sings in his song was exactly my mood when finally starting into my 4-week-holiday. Not only because of the fact that after all the weeks of working 45-60 hours, I felt that I needed a break and that finally,…

After all the weeks I have now spent in Auckland it is time to introduce you to the place I spend the major part of my months at – The Shakespeare. I discovered this place on my job search through Auckland CBD where I dropped my CV of in various pubs and restaurants to maximise…

Beside busy days and long hours of working, it is even nicer to plan day trips on the days you are off. The first time that I went to a beach in New Zealand is weeks ago but it was a great first impression of what I can expect when finally heading off for a…

Being in Auckland for 9 weeks now, I experienced a completely different lifestyle from what I have been used to back at home. Not only that I am living in the center of a big city instead of living next to a farm as I did back home but also living together with so many…

Leaving Costa Rica, meant a lot of hours on the plane and on airports and arriving not only one but TWO days later in because of the fact that I crossed the dateline on my way to New Zealand. After waiting on the airport in LA for 8 hours and spending another 3 hours on…

Waking up the next morning after coming back from the Tico Trip in the night, I found myself realising that my last full day in Costa Rica had begun. I spent most of that day together with my hosts, going to some places where we went to in the last month. When walking the dog…

Starting at the post office to send all the postcards I’ve written to Germany, Sabine and me made our way through the streets of San José. As many Costa Ricans already told me, San José is not really one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The major part of the streets is dirty…

The following weekend it was time for another National-Park-Trip. Sabine and me caught the earliest Bus from San José to Quepos which is on the West coast of Costa Rica. It took us about 4 hours to arrive at Quepos where we brought our stuff to our accommodation. After that we explored the streets of…

The second weekend-day-trip started in Alajuela at the statue of Juan Santamaria, the boy who self-sacrificed himself in the battle of Rivas on the 11th of April in 1856. Because of him Costa Rica could save its independency. After having a look at the Franchipani which grew nearby, we headed on to the volcano Poás…
