It's getting warmer and greener and nature seems at peace with all flowers blossoming and birds flying and singing all day long.. At night there's an orchestra from the frogs 🐸 and crickets 🦗, sometimes I think they compete for the loudest singer trophy 🏆 😂😂 This place is so reach in biodiversity that it's painful to believe that it's surrounded by marinas from which a lot of pollution, toxicity is generated. But that wouldn't be enough, so there are fish farms at every corner of each bay along the channel and next to villages and towns (please give thoughts on swimming in this area or any swimming area that's packed with fish farms...even hotels put on signs that you are swimming at your own responsibility...and they don't mean "bodyguardless" beaches) . We humans are really something. Getting back to happy thoughts now... Some flamingos 🦩🦩 were also paying some occasional visits behind the marina when we were at the yard (they are like me, when the temperatures drop they fly back to the south..only I don't have wings to follow..if I had 😂😂) and some cows 🐄 too would take their turn to model by Oshun's spot and grace us with their presence... The land turtles no longer felt intimidated by our presence and stay still expecting to become invisible 😅 now they even walk towards me, if the fence wasn't there they would walk to my lap I guess 😁🥰 Now in the water, we see dolphins 🐬 too messing with the work of the fishermen around the bay (these two will be enemies for infinity and beyond I guess 🤷🏿‍♀️). Sweet life, it's all around us, let's take care of it. #shorts

We’re Adam and Vicki — living a nomadic life by land and sea. At sea, our sailboat Te Tāiko is home as we journey across the South Pacific, exploring remote islands, meeting incredible people, and learning from the cultures we encounter. During the South Pacific cyclone season, we trade ocean horizons for winding roads — travelling through New Zealand in our motorhome Takahē, working, exploring, and preparing for the next sailing adventure. ✨ Join us as we share real stories of slow travel, adventure, and meaningful connection — from life aboard our sailboat to life on the road. #Travel #Adventure #SailingLife #VanLife #NomadicLiving #SouthPacific #NewZealand #CulturalTravel #SlowTravel #TravelVlog We hope you enjoy it!

Ours is a life shaped by curiosity, connection, and a desire to live simply while still holding onto the professional work we love. Between remote anchorages and winding backroads, we share honest stories of what it’s really like to live, travel, and work from the road and sea.
