Hey

I have the post vacation blues & maybe a bit of jet lag. After spending the past 10 days in the beautiful Cook Islands returning to a cold, wintery, windy Wellington is never fun. Lucky for me though I got lots of sun, swimming in the ocean & fun to tide me over till my next getaway in september.

We spent about 10 days there & I can't help but rave about how beautiful a place it is. No tall buildings, no crazy traffic, barely any pollution & just some of the nicest people you have ever met. My days were full of biking, snorkelling, swimming, hiking, reading, drinking, eating & sun tanning. I definitely fell in love with Rarotonga & would love nothing more than to go back.

Just a few of my favorites from my time abroad now just think only 73 more days till Bali!

Hi

My name is Vanessa & I've decided to start a blog. Big surprise.

The basics about me: 26 year old female originally from Vancouver, Canada. Currently living in Wellington, New Zealand & using every opportunity to travel.

What I love: I'm an avid hiker, biker, explorer, gym goer & am just getting into running. I am shoe obsessed & love fashion. I love to read, mostly literature & fantasy & I am a huge LotR geek.

What I plan for this blog: Chronicling my fitness lifestyle as I try out new things like yoga & running. Healthy lifestyle choices, following me on my travels & general life. I just want this to be a place to be me & express myself anyway that I see fit.

That's all for now so let's see how this goes.
