My name is Hayley and this site is first and foremost a hobby, an outlet for some of my creative impulses. I’m just your average person who loves to travel, albeit an activity that is limited to periodic bursts of anything up to a few weeks in length.
I’ve dabbled with blogs before, focused as travel diaries for a couple of trips (including Europe). I enjoyed doing them and was sorry when they came to an end, eventually concluding that I had to set up a more long-term endeavour.
This will be an assortment of entries about past and present travels, the big stuff and the small stuff. While overseas holidays are the big highlights, especially when you live in a fairly remote outpost like New Zealand, I think it’s important to see the place where you live as well. So over time there will be plenty of NZ-based quick trips and events.
The blog name is a reference to my height – which can make long haul travel very long indeed… I live in Wellington (capital city) and work as a project manager. The best thing about my job is that it funds this blog and the activities within it!
About 30m underground inside the Vinh Moc tunnels in Vietnam's demilitarised zone. Not one for small spaces, I was rapt to find this 6ish-foot high passage!
On the old banked oval track at Monza, Italy during the Formula One race weekend. Being here was a big personal milestone.

What a sweetie you are! Thank you so much – I am very low key so I don’t expect this sort of thing. I can’t do justice just yet to the full acceptance criteria (they’re some rules eh?) but will hopefully be able to soon. I completely agree that you received a nomination
I’ve nominated you for the “One Lovely Blog” Award! Check out my page for details – http://whereswiwi.com/2012/06/20/blogosphere-i-have-arrived/ I appreciate this award takes time and work so apologies if you have received something like it before, but I hope you take some pride in the fact that someone appreciates your work! Have a great day.
Thank you so very much for the nomination Olivia! It means a lot.
The thing I struggle with most in trying to honour the rules is submitting a list of nominees. Which suggests I need to put more time into building up my blog reading list! Anyway I hope to sort that out and accept your kind nomination soon.
Congratulations on your award, your blog is indeed lovely – and maybe I’m a touch biased since we seem to have a similar aesthetic going on!
