My pennies on how to best plan a self driving itinerary around New Zealand’s south (and also best, in my humble opinion!) island — particularly useful for my fellow introverted travellers. Features a full itinerary of my own road trip in March 2018, campsite suggestions & top sights.

Photos (emphasis on the pluralis!) from our visit out to remote, tiny village of Saksun on Streymoy, Faroe Islands.

A 10 day slow travel itinerary as based on my trip there earlier this year. A taste platter of sorts!

This post will guide you through notes on vegan Taiwan, budget, useful resources as well as the full 10 day itinerary with accommodation and activities.

As usual, last with the latest. Throughout the year I have been reading Dr Michael Greger’s bestseller How Not To Die - and this is what I thought about it!

Up until 2004, before they dynamited their way through the mountain to make a tunnel, this was the only way to access the small village of Gásadalur - making it one of the last places on the islands to be accessible by road. The hike that we are making today, The Old Postal Route, gets it name from just that. Three times a week the poor postman would have to climb the hill to deliver mail to the villagers.

Some gathered thoughts after my first few days on the Faroe Islands.

On the east coast of Taiwan is the gorge-ous National Park of Taroko; a marble gorge that has been created by the Liwu river.

In this post you will find my itinerary for visiting the NP from nearby city of Hualien, with accommodation, vegan food stops and instructions on how to best get around.

In this post I go through in detail the steps of applying for a Working Holiday visa for New Zealand, in and outline everything that may be of importance before you go and after you have arrived!
