Things you ladies may need before coming to New Zealand

That one time in Welly…
So a few days ago I had just got back from Wellington. I stayed with my partner’s mum’s family and had an amazing time. I had originally visited Wellington for the first time around Christmas. I was planning on meeting up with my parents a few days before Christmas and then embark with them on…

A lesson on food in New Zealand.
A few weeks ago I went out with my partner and his brother to a Cobb and Co (NZ restaurant chain) for lunch. We ordered a delicious meal + a pav, which was great but I also had an extra lesson in food in New Zealand. So here’s what I know about food. My frame…

Wow, my first post!
Hi everyone. I am Laura/sushirolla. I was invited by studentsgoneglobal to be one it’s bloggers and I’m happy I said yes. However, this is my first time using wordpress, so it will take awhile until my blog becomes somewhat decent. Last Friday marks my 7th month living in gorgeous New Zealand. I’ve been in school…
