About

Hello and Welcome to my blog, Tumeke Traveller .

I write posts about everything related to travel, my experiences, my dream destinations, or my research projects about places in blog post form. I started this in 2017, but only posted a few times. Re-discovering this page in 2019, I hope to let it further flourish by posting more.

I am a blogger from New Zealand. In New Zealand, one of our official languages is Maori. My blog name Tumeke Traveller is part Maori. Tumeke is a Maori word that basically means, cool or awesome.

Because no overseas trips are planned any time soon, I will be posting about local travelling I get up to. I hope you stick around and read some of my blog posts. Don't forget to subscribe!

Tourists. #2 just as important, don't lug luggage. Luggage is just hassle awaiting.  Tubes are crowded enough as it is, bringing an extra bag, especially a suitcase, is just asking for hard work.

There are no washing facilitie...
