Social Experiment 1 – Homeless in Sydney for a week

First night arrive in Sydney, I sleep in the airport. I am not very satisfied, even the international terminal closes at around 2am, and everyone was kicked out until 5-6am when the airport reopens again. Hey, even Perth International Airport opens 24 hours! How come the Sydney one could be that LAZY? I have a… Read More Social Experiment 1 – Homeless in Sydney for a week

My First Pride Parade, Tandem bike and Chariot

I only know the Pride Parade is going to happen when my Couchsurfing host told me 2 weeks ago, he asked if I want to join the Green Party (the third largest political party in NZ) to march along the way. I accepted the invitation without any hesitation, as I haven’t been to any parade… Read More My First Pride Parade, Tandem bike and Chariot

NZ Day 34 – Spiritual Healing

Setting off early this morning, I could do the 150km trip to Auckland in one day, however, since it is my last leg, I’d rather take it slow as well as have my last night camping in NZ. Definitely I have to stop in Ngaruawahia to see the marae and king’s office, but the marae… Read More NZ Day 34 – Spiritual Healing

NZ Day 32 and 33 – A day in Hamilton

Since my host John only expects me to stay one night, I leave his place to find a bike shop to change the tire and the break, although I only got 3 more days to ride, it would be nicer to sell the bike with better condition. After fixing both rear tire and break, I… Read More NZ Day 32 and 33 – A day in Hamilton

NZ Day 30 – Falling through the sky

Since I was young, I always seek for adrenaline rush and I love to go to theme parks and try the scariest attractions, up till now I still think the roller-coaster in Mt. Fuji Theme Park is the most terrifying! Last year when I was in Nepal, I did paragliding as well as bungy jump… Read More NZ Day 30 – Falling through the sky

NZ Day 28 and 29 – Another regret, Tongariro Alpine Crossing

The weather keeps going that bad for almost a week, I know it is unpredictable but certainly I should plan ahead of this by checking the forecast. The whole way from Pipiriki to Raetihi I am riding in the rain, all my clothes and gears are WET.
