Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to all!!! It seems like only yesterday that we were welcoming in 2012 on a beach in Kaikoura! How fast this year has gone, but how amazing it has been! I have only worked 5 months out of 2012, and Thomas has worked even less. But in that time, we have spent Christmas 2011 in Australia, finished work in New Zealand and embarked on our South Island road trip, ending up in New Plymouth for 3 weeks before heading to Tahiti and then driving across the USA for a whole month. We have lived in four different cities, been to four different countries, lived on floors, in sheds and have taken advantage of the hospitality of many people. Thomas and I both know how fortunate we are to be able to live our dreams and explore the world, while making new friends and family along the way. Here are a few photos to sum up 2012 :)
