Where (the F) is Dara?

A few years ago, a certain TV weatherman whose daughter was a fan of Nickelodeon's "Dora The Explorer" revved up his New York accent and nicknamed me Dara The Explara'. I don't think he knew the half of my obsession with exploring the globe. As I set off to do just that, I hereby honor your pleas and vow to spare your email inboxes the horror of the mass update at every step. Instead, you can check here at will to track me and my little backpack as we venture around the world. Keep in touch!

I Made It (Auckland, New Zealand)


I landed safely around 6 am today, Tuesday, on an Air New Zealand plane with an upstairs (I didn't actually go up the stairs, but it was my first experience on a plane that even had them so I thought they were worth mentioning). I slept for approximately 10 hours of the 12 hour flight without a single chemical aide. Don't ask - I don't know how I did it either. Auckland is brisk and beautiful and clean and its residents are friendly. I have already been identified as an American thanks to my Nalgene. Tomorrow I will fly to Dunedin at the south tip of the south island to work on an organic farm (WWOOF).
