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!

Christmas in London

Christmas day couldn't have gone more smoothly.  We began the morning with a well deserved sleep in and brekky..complete with perfectly scrambled eggs, bacon and Moet champagne.

We all settled into the couch watching 'Boy' just to put a Kiwi feel to Christmas in London.  I tell you despite being in our mid 20's opening pressies was a rather big deal! Complete with 'wows!', 'pretty look at this' and 'Ohh just what I wanted!'.



After the fun, James and Petra busied themselves in the kitchen prepping the pig and the biggest chook I've seen. While the meat was roasting we took a leisurely stroll in Kilburn Park, watched some squirrels and made use of the park's workout circuit.




Upon arriving back to Flat B Kilburn High Road the meat was near perfection and all the food was ready to be set out.  All the Kiwi Christmas trimmings including a desert of ambrosia, trifle and pavlova yummy!



I hope everybody had a perfect Christmas, enjoyed spending time with family and friends and chowing down on delicious food.  We were so lucky to stay with the ultimate hosts and had the time of our lives despite being away from our families.
Love you all, hope your travelling safe to New Years destinations.
