Welcome to the Kiwi Calls website. I am thrilled to tell you about my book, When
the Kiwi Calls, a real-life account of our 46-day self
drive vacation in New Zealand. Lots of
interesting leads and useful tips for travelers of all ages
are included, and, if you are over 55
as we are, I hope you’ll consider some of the suggestions.
Sam and I love
traveling. Especially the long, leisurely kind, when you can throw
away your watch and just follow your dreams. Soon after we were
married in South Africa in the ‘60s, we worked and traveled abroad
for a year and a half. Now, nearly 40 years later, the opportunity
presented itself again. We locked up our home in Israel, and took
off for four and a half months in Australia, New Zealand, and
California.
In New Zealand
we decided to try something new, namely, to stay in
backpacker hostels. What a great idea! We were comfortable,
we met lots of nice people, and we didn’t fork out a ton of
money for accommodations. We also decided to rent a slightly
older car, and that, too, was a good idea. I really urge you
to look at different options before saying, “Naw – I can’t
afford to travel.” If you really want to hit the road, there
is a way. |
