About the Relle

Born and raised in Auckland, New Zealand I was nearing my completion of the tried and true steps to becoming an adult. University? check! Job of 2 years? Check! Living independently away from home? Check! Ready for something more challenging and a whole lot bigger than Auckland, I moved to Berlin in April 2010. As a Kiwi, avoiding an OE is about as unlikely as Tom Cruise converting to sanity, although choosing Berlin made for a pretty bold move. Not being ready for adulthood and frightened by the multitude of friends marrying and contemplating children..it was time to gap. Armed with very little comprehension of the German language but a big yearning for all things unknown we set off on one big year adventure. I aim to provide insight into life on the other side and hopefully convince all those doubtful kids out there that you can conquer Berlin!

From Paris to Berlin and every disco we go in my heart is pumping with love...

Pumping with love!
So...we are on day 12 of our journey and have already been to 5 countries.  It began with a quality sleep and feed in South Korea and right now I am sitting in an internet cafe in Zadar, Croatia.  In between these places we visited Paris, then Nice (Im sure you copped a look at the food shots...words cannot describe the food in France).
  From there we had a full day journey to join our Top-Deck tour in Venice, Italy.  Clearly anything can happen...such as an Icelandic volcano erupting and French train drivers striking! So..we had to re-plan our travel plans, after an epic 12 hours getting acquainted with the train system and crossing the Italian border we landed safely in Venice in time for dinner.  The people on our tour are fun and sociable people so we have already had many memorable moments.  From gondolas in Venice to underground caves in Slovenia to crossing the border of Croatia, to my new friend and I losing our tour group on the way exploring a beach and hitching a ride with a young Croatian. To today, I sit here after having finished devouring fresh crispy pan-friend fish in Zadar.  That is all within 4 nights and I cannot wait for what the next 8 nights hold in store for us!
Next time there will be photos I promise!
