Georgie & Sam's adventures!
 We left England in October '08, all geared up for a year of travel. Long overdue for both of us, it was the right time for us to bid farewell to friends, family, dirty British indie music and cider. Our philosophy has been 'do it, worry about the money later'. Four months soaking up Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and Argentina left us close to penniless when we arrived in New Zealand. After finally getting some $$ coming in, we set about creating NZ's grooviest campervan, complete with Go-Faster stripes, fridge, and a sink made out of a stainless steel mixing bowl. We call him Mo. Conveniently, that’s also what he calls himself.
Now we are taking Mo around New Zealand on the grand tour we planned to do a year ago. It seems that travelling has become a way of life for us, and we have no plans to stop....until the money runs out again. |
