New Zealand
Hi! I hope you had a happy new year and a nice holiday break! We spent the holiday season at ''la playa'' the beach. Having barefoot walks, swimming, sightseeing and eating simple yet delightful meals.We needed some quality time to relax as well, and it felt great after a pretty busy year.
We drove up north and visited some places we love. And also re-discover the breath-taking coastline of the Mercury Bay. Absolutely magical.{I cannot tell you in words the beauty of this place!} So we went out and about exploring the area, visiting local farms and spending most of our time outdoors.
But above all, it was also an opportunity to ponder, look back and discover how much had happened into my life. Experiences that fed and shaped my soul. Many challenges, mistakes, choices, lessons, but also wonderful memories and unforgettable happy moments. I realized how much I've grown and all the things that I've accomplished in the past year. It made me feel renewed, thankful...
Be not afraid of growing slowly, be afraid only of standing still. Chinese proverb
We really had an amazing time, and enjoyed every minute of our holiday break. So here some pictures from our trip! {More photos to come} I'll be back soon!
/// Wishing you a colorful - great day!
