Pretty little places: San Cristobal de la Casas, Mexico

Pretty little place #3. 

I know what you are thinking - but yes, Mexico is very pretty actually! Contrary to popular belief, there is actually a lot more to Mexico than sombreo's, tequila and mostache-ladden drug lords who run around murdering people left, right and centre.

To be honest, Mexico is one of the most beautiful and friendly places that I have ever had the pleasure of visiting, and as long as you stay away from the border [of Mexico and the U.S] it is actually super safe (and cheap!) to travel around.

So first of all, I must say a VERY large sorry to you all for being missing in action for the past month. My travels have recently taken me to Melbourne, the beautiful vineyards of Victoria and the Great Ocean Road (which was pretty darn great by the way!).

Bye bye New Zealand

In six hours exactly, I'm off to the airport to get on a plane, and neverrrrr come back! And by 'never' I mean five months. But seriously, in my mind it pretty much seems like a lifetime before I will be back.

Over the past few weeks I've been playing with my fish eye camera, taking snaps here, there and everywhere, and documenting my last few weeks in the country. There really is nothing like the magic of fish eye. I'm getting a wee bit emotional even thinking about not seeing the good looking people in these photos for so long! Ahh, must go to bed before I turn into a blubbering mess!

Summer, I love you

Q: Is it weird that I'm posting pictures of somebody else's BBQ in an attempt to pretend I am currently in a place that experiences any kind of summer?

A: Probably, but I don't careeeee, because these images make me so excited for my summer in Australia that it's not even funny. (These beautiful images are stolen from one of my favourite Aussie bloggers by the way).

In less than one month I will be on a plane to the Melbourne for Christmas with my family. Following that I will be traveling the great ocean toad with my mum and sister, and then off to Sydney for three months of sunshine! And then, just when summer starts to go bye bye, I will be heading to North America just in time for spring!

I cannot imagine how depressing it is going to be to come back to Wellington in June to rain and University and freezing temperatures and zero money. I will just have to try to not think that far ahead!

GAHHH, EXCITEDDDD!

I hate saving... grr

Q: How much do i want this dress (in both patterns!).

A: So, sooo much.

There's only one bad thing about planning a trip overseas - having to save every possible dollar! And considering I'm on the verge of possibly not being able to afford to go for as long as I would have liked, money cannot be spent on beautiful Moochi dresses! Please somebody buy this dress (in both patterns!) so I can live vicariously through you. Thank you.

Traveling

Travel is on my mind right now as I am in the process of deciding if I want to postpone Uni a bit and go traveling for five months. I know what you're thinking, why wouldn't I go! And to be honest I have no idea why I even have to think about it!

If these beautiful images don't convince me, then nothing will! I found these beauties on Travel This World - a tumblr where people can submit their most impressive travel photos. Seriously, go check it out. You will not be disappointed!

These beautiful images make me want to travel a wee bit and never stop. Ahhh, why does New Zealand have to be so secluded!
