The most important thing I’ve learned on my travels is the necessity of being flexible. That lesson has paid off today, as I’m in Singapore and I’ve suddenly had to cancel my plans to travel from Brisbane to the Great Barrier Reef next week. My boyfriend has to fly back to London, and I’ve found myself with 9 days on my own before my flight home. I could go with him, but I can’t help wanting to stay in the Antipodes. I spend a few hours coming up with a plan, and the result is a 9-day itinerary for New Zealand without a car.
