Once a journey is designed, equipped and put in process; a new factor enters and takes over. A trip, a safari, an exploration, is an entity, different from all other journeys.

It has personality, temperament, individuality, uniqueness. A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike... a trip takes us. John Steinbeck

Welcome to my world!

I am currently: Auckland, New Zealand -17 January 2012

I am arrived in New Zealand a week ago and have just bought a Silver BMW 650 GS. I am planning to ride around both north and south islands over the next 3 months. You can follow me at my new blog - http://kateonthemove.travellerspoint.com/

I will also show you a selection of the several thousand photos I took on a recent trip to the Svalbard Archipelago once I have time to make my final selection and wrestled with this tiny computer to upload them! These will include the delightful island of Spitsbergen. I saw polar bears and cubs, walrus, seals, Arctic terns, ivory gulls, whales and of course the comical puffin!
