CURRENT MISSION
Exploring the Bay of Plenty

ABOUT ME

I'm happily grounded in New Zealand at the moment.

PHILOSOPHY

It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.
-- Ernest Hemingway
