Brighton: a royal scandal, unicycling hipsters and cheeky seagulls
We arrived in Brighton 3 weeks ago, and have had a great time here. It’s such a vibrant and eclectic city. Since the Regency era, it has been known as a seaside resort town to see, be seen and party it up (Pride and Prejudice’s Lydia Bennet, anyone?).
Oxford: The City of Dreaming Spires
Hello! We’ve officially been (back) in England for 1 week. We spent last weekend in Oxford, one of my favorite cities in the world, before heading down to Brighton for our next housesit. I’ll talk about Brighton next time, but I wanted to share some pictures here of Oxford. For those who haven’t been, it
Swiss summer
While it feels like it’s been slow paced, as I look back at my pictures over the last three weeks it seems like we’ve done a lot! Which is an accomplishment, as Matt has been putting in a lot of overtime this month. We’ve been to Lausanne a few times, a nearby town and the capital of our Canton de Vaud region.
How to travel for a year: software tech
Hey there! I wanted to take some time away from our normal posts and talk about the technology that we use. Whether you’re curious about the logistics of undertaking a year of being a digital nomad, or just wanting some ideas to make your next vacation more efficient (and awesome), I think we’ll have some tips to help everybody. In this post, I’ll be taking you through all of the apps, sites and feeds we use to make this year easier. Matt will be posting in the next few days about the hardware that we use.
The Swiss Life
We’ve been living in a lovely little town for the last week in the Canton de Vaud, a French-speaking region of the south of Switzerland surrounding Lake Geneva (also known as Lac Leman). We are quite near the town’s boulangerie where they have simple and amazing sandwiches made from their homemade baguettes, plus many pastries and a really tasty homemade ice cream.
London, post-Brexit
So we’ve been exploring London for the last week, taking the sights (Matt joins me when he’s not working) and enjoying the joys of being back in the northern hemisphere in July.
Australia!
It’s been a whirlwind week and a half! I left New Zealand to join Matt in Coff’s Harbour, Australia, where he had gone ahead of me to see his parents on their holiday. We had a great time with them beach walking, hiking, playing cards and hanging out.
I told you New Zealand was magical
Our time in New Zealand is almost over. Well, Matt’s already gone ahead of me, actually. He left on Thursday for Australia to meet up with his parents while I stayed behind to finish out our housesit and pick up our hosts from the airport. I leave to join him tomorrow. And you know what? No one/nothing died! Well…with the exception of some delicious turkeys.
Wild game recipes
We are still on the alpaca farm here in Hawkes Bay and will be until the end of June. As I mentioned in my last post, there is a lot of free time even with our farm responsibilities, so Matt has been working extra and I’ve been focusing on some cooking projects. I finally made a meal with the wild turkey that Matt shot last week!
