    First off...I spent a month in NZ in 2004. I would live there if I could get my kids to go. Secondly, I’ve been an RV full timer for over two years now. When I started I watched many nomad channels. I’m down to yours and two others regularly. You know why? Because you are real and relatable and not afraid to be human. Good onya’ Kia Ora

    As a Maori, I appreciate the fact that at least you try, and knowing you aren't getting it right, you self correct by putting up the word. It's way more than most people do. Once again, thanks for even attempting to pronounce our place names.

    Hey Carolyn, An interesting thing about wood pigeons and those trees is that they get drunk on them, when the red berries get over ripe the birds are in like Flynn, they eat them until they get tipsy, I used to sit on my veranda having to duck while wood pigeons happily flew right by my ear, you saw how BIG and heavy those birds are, we could hear them happily falling off the branch they eat on! Lol🤗

    It's lovely but the South Island has more gorgeous scenery. Can't wait to see the South Island from Carolyn's pov. Watching her with the birds, I wondered what she'd make of a kookaburra's laugh or the bell-like sound of the bell bird. It's always a wonder how small and diverse the world is and yet it's vast!
    Happy International Women's Day! The Prime Minister of NZ is certainly one to be inspired by as is our Carolyn. 💜🇦🇺🐨

I’m 70, and the last 20 years have been the most empowering for me. It took having gone through “the change,” for me to drop my inhibitions and discover truly who I am and then to have the courage to live it. Screw those damn hormones!!!

    Hi Carolyn, it's really easy to become a NZ citizen, but you do need to know a bit about NZ so there would be a bit of study to do first and there's lots of islands for you to hike on if you wanted to fill your back pack and just walk out the front door. Always lock all doors and windows before leaving home even if you end up living on Barra. (Great Barrier Island)

    I get migraines to. I seen a post once on the different things Vick rub can do for you and migraines is one of them. I hadn't used Vicks since I was a kid for colds. I bought some and I got to say its a miracle how good it works. I rub it in my forehead, temples, and a little between the eyebrows on my nose for the sinus area and with in minutes it starts to calm down.Also I had a Dr tell me once don't lay down with a migraine it makes it worse, intensifies the blood flow. I lay back in my recliner now and they seldom get so bad I get sick.Just thought you might want to know.

    Carolyn, I had puking, debilitating migraines for years. Once I had my hysterectomy, they went away forever. I'm not recommending anything that drastic mind you, but possibly a hormonal work up with your doctor could determine if there are imbalances that may be causing your migraines. Just a thought.

He says 90% of headaches are caused by the gallbladder .. if you press under and up /inward of your right side ribs and hold for 2 minutes and your headache goes away , it is a digestive issue, he says... but he also lists other causes and remedies in his videos about migraine. Also July 2, 2017 video on migraines of his really good too. Hope this info will help. NZ looks fabulous!!

    I have also had Migraine headaches for about 30 years too. When I as in college and Paramedic school in 1995, I started going to a new Neurologist and we went through the entire medication protocol and after about a year, he placed me on Sansert (Methysergide) and I took it for about another year (note, you have you take "med holidays" every 3-4 months because the drug can cause fibrosis of certain organs if you don't. Long story short, I was having the migraines daily and Sansert cut my headaches down to perhaps 2-3 a month. The FDA took it off the market a few years back but you can still obtain the med in Canada with a physician's prescription from the USA. You may want to investigate the new injections like Ajovy, Aimovig, etc. Keep safe.

I would love to see one where you would tell us what you would do in the scariest “maybe”? Do you have a plan? Such as getting trapped up on a mountain or really having someone that is bothering you alone up there? Thanks for your Gorgeous vlogs and sounds.
