Outside Context

The most com­mon ques­tion I have been asked by people after return­ing home is, “which was your favour­ite coun­try to visit?” For Cesca and I it has to be the majestic New Zea­l­and. Not because it is ter­ribly exotic. as everything is famil­iar (espe­cially the road names), but rather because it is so much like you wish Eng­land could be. The lakes, the moun­tains, the rivers, the beaches. New Zea­l­and has everything. The people have a real “get up and go” atti­tude that is infec­tious. They love their coun­try, they also appear to know who they are and what they want. Liv­ing in such a cul­ture is, and I hes­it­ate to write this, idyllic.

Cesca and I have writ­ten many art­icles on the sub­ject of New Zea­l­and and also made a “love let­ter” of a short-film cel­eb­rat­ing the coun­try (found under “films” in the nav­ig­a­tion bar). How­ever, I have always wanted to do more to speak of our time driv­ing around these islands.

About a two weeks ago I was approached by a com­pany work­ing for Air New Zea­l­and. They wanted to license all our con­tent on New Zea­l­and for use in the offi­cial Air New Zea­l­and iPhone app!
