Exploring the North Island of New Zealand
WHAT TO SEE AND DO IN THE NORTH ISLAND ⇷☓⇸ This is an extensive to guide to exploring the Bay of Islands, Cape Reinga, Paihia, Oke Bay and Russell.

Does Going Home Mean Failure?
To Travel is to live, if you at least tried then its worth it! ⇷☓⇸ I get asked on a daily basis; ‘But what if it doesn’t work out?’ ‘What if you don’t enjoy it?’ ‘What if you want to come home?’ quite regularly now that I have made the move to leave and travel around the world. And they are also questions I have asked myself. They aren’t unrealistic and there is every chance this may happen. What if?
