The team at Flip Video were kind enough to give us a new Flip VideoHD to use during our recent Expat Recon Tour.
Aside from being incredibly simple to use and easy to transport, the Flip VideoHD took the clearest, most detailed videos we’d ever seen! It even took a couple of knocks as we travelled [...]
We would like to sincerely thank our sponsors for their invaluable support during this tour:
Check out this video of Ben and Jacqui doing the Nevis Arc, the world’s highest swing! They were the only two in the group that were brave enough to do it.
The rest of us thought we could, but when you stand out on the platform, look down and realise that the bungy ‘launching pad’ is [...]
While I was living in Wellington I had longed to go out to Boomrock Lodge but had never actually got there before I moved away.
It was the lure of driving fast cars that grabbed my attention but after spending time out there I now know there is so much more to experience out there.

We started the rafting experience with a thrilling helicopter ride up Skippers Canyon which was the best way to see Queesntown – it was stunning!
We then [...]
We were lucky enough to get an official ‘team photo’ with the All Blacks at the closed captains run the day before the big game!
The All Blacks certainly rock my world after Saturday’s test with South Africa.
I was so excited about going to the game I didn’t even mind the only rainy day we got during the trip. I didn’t know much or even care about rugby before my first test match in Auckland last Saturday.
One week later I [...]
Today we experienced a once in a lifetime opportunity- we were invited on a tour of the NZRU followed by a viewing of the All Blacks closed captains run.
It was an incredible day.
We arrived at NZRU headquarters and were introduced to Brent Anderson who proceeded to give us a tour of the building.
Brent is the [...]
Ok – So I’m not going to lie; I LOVE Wellington, I LOVE Hotels, and I LOVE the All Blacks, so after arriving at the Intercontinental Wellington, only to be surrounded by what seemed to be only the cutest of All Blacks, I really thought all my sophomoric day-dreams had come true.
The Intercontinental Wellington is [...]
