Globetrotting Outdoors Thrills & Adventure

Travelback Thursday | The Ancient Lakes

Have you ever seen a desert with lakes and waterfalls?

I tell stories through my photos and then I dress them with words. Why? Because I love novelty, adventure and seeing the world through new eyes. And I would like to share this wonderful feeling with others.

Life is a beach and then you dive...⠀ ⠀ It is really exciting to be living just a 15 min drive away from the ocean (or to be more precise: from the Cook Strait which breaks into the middle of the Tasman Sea on the West and the Pacific Ocean on the East⠀ ⠀ #islandlife #TitahiBay #NewZealand #Kiwiliving #kitesurfing

Hard to believe we have been here for two months already! Here is a photo form our first days of roaming through the city when we were doing our own little edition of #HouseHuntersInternational⠀ ⠀ #Wellington #beautifuloutdoors #kiwiliving #travelgram

Back at home the city center is the focal point of urban beauty: it is where all the historical buildings are, where the parks, flower gardens, fountains and groomed spaces are. In Wellington I see the opposite: Te Aro (the CBD) is full of glass and concrete like most cities. But the real charm and character of this place is in the neighbourhoods!⠀ ⠀ Hataitai is the first neighbourhood we stayed in and for me it definitely ranks as one of the best 💕⠀ #Wellington #AbsolutelyPositivelyWellington #NewZealand #NZ #Kiwiliving #hataitai #urbanlandscapes #ocean #PacificOcean #capital #worldsprettiestcities #local #landscape #travelgram #livingabroad #trips #travelblogging

Pouwhenua or pou whenua (land post, wh is pronounced f), are carved wooden posts used by the Māori as a way to mark territorial boundaries or places of significance. Similar to totem poles, pous are used for storytelling.⠀ ⠀ Fun fact: despite its name, Mount Victoria lookout is only 200 m above sea level ⠀ ⠀ #absolutelypositivelywellington #Wellington #NewZealand⠀ #maoriculture #pouwhenua #beautifuloutdoors #kiwiliving #MountVictoriaLookout #movingabroad #MovingtoNewZealand #outdoors

Toujours l'horizon...(fans of Noir Desir will understand)⠀ ⠀ Looking at Welly. ⠀ ⠀ For the next few years, the beautiful cosy, artsy and impossibly windy city of Wellington will be our home. So excited to be here with Stef and looking forward to see more of the North Island, the South Island and all of New Zealand⠀ ⠀ #absolutelypositivelywellington #Wellington #NewZealand⠀

Moving to New Zealand...still sounds like a dream to me. But I keep pinching myself and it is real. This photo is from our first hike up to Mount Victoria Lookout. It is incredible to have such a pleasant hiking trail in the middle of the city, leading you to this spectacular view! <3 ⠀ ⠀ #absolutelypositivelywellington #Wellington #NewZealand
