Welcome

This will be my blog while travelling and living in New Zealand from January 2010 and (hopefully) two years forward. My posting will probably be a bit rare in January while travelling with Silkeborg Højskole, but I will catch up later as I get setteled in Christchurch.

I will be leaving Denmark January 5th, and arrive in Auckland Jan 7th, travelling via London and Sydney. Until approximately Feb 1st I will be travelling with Silkeborg Højskole from Auckland in north to Queenstown in south. We will be mountainbiking in Rotorua, tramping  around and to the summit of Mt. Doom, kayaking around Abel Tasman, tramping in Nelson Lake National Park, swimming with dolphins in Kaikura, tramping in the Alps around Mt. Cook and rafting in Queenstown before sending home our teachers on Jan 27th. Hereafter I will spend a few days in Queenstown, before heading to Christchurch to see my aunt Eva and get settled before the academic year starts Feb 22nd.

From the beginning of February, I will be living in the Ilam Village on campus (pictures can be found at their website), sharing an apartment whith 2-4 other persons. My excact address will be posted after I move in, as well as my New Zealand phone number.
