One of the most common questions I get is “How do you afford to go to New Zealand every year?” I don’t have one really good answer for that question, I think it’s a combination of a lot of tools we use to help us save money for travel, and save money in general. I’ll give you our 5 ways we save money to fund our flights. Here’s how we do it.

Agh, skin care. It’s a love-hate relationship. My skin is a pretty constant battle. I had terrible acne in high school and most of college. I have tried it all from prescription topical creams and gels, oral antibiotics, so many different face soaps, lotions and routines, etc. And I use to always get stressed out about my skin prior to traveling because without fail I always seemed to breakout during and after travel. After several years of trial and error – and there was a lot of error, I am so happy to report my skin is the best it’s ever been! This is my skin care routine that works for me, and the extras I add to that routine before and during the flight to ensure I arrive at my destination fresh faced!

If you know us, you know that skiing and snowboarding are a huge part of our life. We both started to ski at the young age of 2, and our families took us skiing nearly every weekend in the winter.

Read on, and we will share our top three places to ski in New Zealand. Continue reading “Top 3 Places to Ski In New Zealand”
James and I bought a Go Pro Hero 5 Black for Christmas last year, and let me tell you, we love it. We were first introduced to the Go Pro when my sister and her boyfriend came to visit us in New Zealand. At the time, they had a small Go Pro 4 without a screen and it was in a waterproof case. They took it everywhere – skiing, swimming, biking, hiking – and they documented the trip so well! We loved the easy video settings, and the fish eye photos form the top of Treble Cone.
We have owned our Go Pro Hero 5 for about 5 months at the time of writing this, and like I said, we’re obsessed. BUT it didn’t come without a few headaches at first. If you’re thinking about buying a Go Pro, I’m here for you. I’m going to share the pros and cons of the Go Pro Hero 5 Black.

Functional and practical. That’s the name of the game on long haul flights. I am not one of those girls who look glamorous traveling through the airport, with wavy hair, tight jeans and high heels. If you are one of those girls, more power to you. Teach me your ways. Until then, these are the six things I always wear when traveling internationally.
