Living in Aotearoa/New Zealand

When a 'later in life' OE becomes something more ... burgers become pies, peanut butter becomes Marmite, French Toast becomes spaghetti on toast, friends become mates, and perspectives change.

Water & Rocks, New Zealand

Here's a really nice video I came across on Facebook.  The Hot Air Balloon Pilot is Hugh McLellan with Sunrise Balloons in Queenstown.  It's pretty soothing to watch ...

About Me

Carmen
If not now, then when? This is what I said years ago when I decided to change my life and take a 'later in life' OE (Overseas Experience). OE's aren't customary for those where I'm from, especially later in life. This sounded like a challenge to me. The daughter of a former diplomat, I was born overseas, but hadn't lived outside the US since I was a wee girl. I thought it was time to change that. Fate is what brought me to New Zealand. The adventure, the beauty, the lifestyle, and what I'm learning about myself, others and life is why I've stayed.
