Stuff on the 'gram
Finding stillness in a busy world...
I'm Nat and my hubby and I are on a 'sabbatical' of sorts - we've put our job/business on hold to take time out to live slow for three months and tour the South Island of our beautiful country, NZ. You'll find my notes on our wanderings along the way right here on the blog. Oh, and we're taking our 8mo puppy, Ridge, with us, so it'll be a fun journey with him too!
We have no set direction, just an inkling so come along and enjoy the ride via these stories!
