I had an attack of this nausea the other week - I went to my dr to make sure it was nothing serious. He said it was an issue with my inner ear and would settle down in a few days - which it did. Now I know what it is I see no reason to go back to a dr again unless I get it worse and need...
I wondered if you were the same Terry! Just heard on Radio NZ https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/ninetonoon/audio/2018703833/finding-peace-under-camino-skies
I'm surprised that there doesn't seem to be a thread about this - a documentary following pilgrims has obviously been done before. But the twist this time is that they are all Australasians. https://www.flicks.co.nz/movie/camino-skies/
I'll be curious to see it when it opens in Wellington -...
You don't need WIFI for Whatsapp or Viber - cellular data will work fine too. Viber, like Skype allows you to call a phone number -the other party doesn't need the app - or even to be on a cell phone - the app does charge you a small amount for this - but its fractions of a cent compared to...
I regularly carry on a 40l backpack - the weight is the thing - 5kg should be fine. Just dump the bigger liquids - you don't want to be carrying larger bottles of liquids while you are walking anyways. Razors are fine. Pocketknifes and walking poles are more likely to cause an issue
I like your approach - the title reflects who you are as a self-described non-walking atheist- I could totally relate to both of those characteristics and the title resonates with me. I rather think that the commentators above who don’t like it are not atheists- and therefore are not your audience
I'm old enough to remember that it once took me months of saving to afford the 3 hour flight from NZ to Australia - it was approximately 4x the minimum wage in 1983. That very same flight - on the same airline (Air NZ - not a budget airline) - now costs approximately 1/4 of the minimum weekly...
Thanks for this thread I'm waiting for my new Lumix GX85 to arrive - and I can see this working - probably on the waist belt for me. I do agree and always carry camera and electronics in a grubby beat up bag - but a camera in a bag does miss a lot of the action
I agree - but I hope that companies don't start with requiring a copy of travel insurance. Not everyone can get insurance - my partner can't because of what turned out to be a broken heart valve which has just been surgically repaired. I am very curious to see if he can get travel insurance in...
Like I love the idea but the routine lost me at plank and downward facing dog - many of us just don’t have the flexibility/ so is there anything for beginners?
Ok in my part of the world when we say travel insurance we mean insurance that covers medical, evac, loss of deposits, theft, liability etc etc . Unfortunately you can’t buy just the medical and evac cover
