Hi all,
my name is teagan i am a 19yo female from australia that is looking for anyone that is going on the above tour and would like to chat before hand as i am travelling for the first time and am doing it solo. I would love to start chatting to hopefully start building a friendship,

Hi Teagan I am booked on the same tour. I am only doing the 14 day version so I stop in Queenstown where I am staying for another 4 days. Alan

Teagan I will be travelling alone.This will be the first Overseas holiday that I have had on my own. I arrive in Auckland on the 19th so I have 2 nights in NZ before the tour starts.

Hi Teagan. My name is Simon and I’m from Tassie too. I’m looking at doing the Grand Explorer tour sometime in March or April, but haven’t decided when yet. Would love to have a chat.

Hey Folks

I am doing this tour on the smae dates in reverse order (Christchurch to Auckland). I guess we'll all meet up mid tour! How are you guys doing prepping? I am doing the Aussie Tour in late Jan so am trying to organise all now. So much to do and no motivation! lol

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hey Teagan,
Yeah I’m from Launnie too. Don’t get too freaked out. Yeah your right I do need to get my act together.
Simon

Hey Teagan, what network are you with? Pre-paid or plan? I've heard that Vodaphone works for both pre-paid and phones on plans. Optus/Telstra requires international roaming put on for phones on plans, but pre-paid phone don't work (at least for Optus). Best bet is to check with your provider and they can tell you the full story. Enjoy your trip!

Brice

Haha, no prob T. No one was writing about my trip so I figured I'd check the other route for a natter! I so hope it's not just me en-tour!

Didn't realise you were from Tazmania ... am doing a tour there. What are the top 5 things to see there and what should I avoid?

Teagan I don't have to much to organise just waiting for march to come. A kiwi friend has mentioned that the south island can be quite cool at that time of the year but as you are from Tassie it should not be to cold for you. I am Definitely in for the fun dangerous stuff.

Hi everyone,
I went on this tour in 2000 and had the time of my life. The scenery is breathtaking and the optionals a lot of fun.

Hey Everybody,

My name's Theo (pronounced Tay-o) and I'm 30 yrs old from Atlanta, GA. I'm signed up for the Grand Adventurer kicking off on March 23rd from Auckland to Queenstown. I assume our tours will meet up at some point after the first couple of days, so I'll probably see you out there!
