So 2017 has been a bit of a roller coaster. I’ve been battling an auto immune disease so I spent a lot of time trying to learn to manage it better.

Hospital stays, invasive testing and days off work was a very long an arduous year.

Best thing was definitely knowing that I could take the positives out of this year, being on media for the Brisbane Global Rugby Tens, going to see the BNZ Crusaders in Melbourne and then watching them on my iPad 2 months later whilst in bed take out their 8th Super Rugby title.

I then spent 16 days in Japan, I might of broken my toe but it was the best experience to be part of, with the highlight of rolling up to a Kobelco Steelers training session and also a Panasonic Wild Knights game and surprising some friends who play rugby in Japan.

2018 is shaping up for some good things, heading to Christchurch to see my partner, Lana is one of those highlights, going to Perth in 2 weeks is another, but my big one is heading to Dublin, Berlin, Israel, Palestine and Japan in September/October/November for a 6 week adventure I am so looking forward to the most.

Bring it on.

I ended up in Jail! No seriously I did!

Jailhouse Accommodation is part of the old Addington Jail that was decommissioned in 1999. It was converted into a hostel and reopened in 2006. You can get a sense of what it was like to be a prisoner in the jail as due to heritage building laws, the entire structure of the building has been left the same, including the old jail doors!

I stay here frequently and it’s always been a comfortable stay, they have unlimited wifi, a great kitchen, Netflix and it’s based in a great trendy area of Christchurch, which has some great entertainment, pubs and is very close to AMI Stadium and the city as well, also you can learn more about the Jail, with some of the cells left as is after the decommissioning.

Definitely give Jailhouse Accommodation a try if you’re in Christchurch, it’s definitely a worthwhile experience.

These vlogs coming out aren’t my best work - I know. A lot of distractions with family not wanting to be on camera as well as needing to get into the routine like I did in Japan. I will endeavour to make it better once I’ve finished my Christchurch series.

I can’t believe there’s actually capsule hotels in New Zealand! I loved my experience in Japan with Nine Hours and I seriously missed that quirky part of being in something similar to a spaceship (or hibernation chamber 😂😂😂)

When I found out that Jucy Snooze had a capsule hotel I wanted to check it out, and the best thing is, it was only a 10 minute walk from the Airport!

I reckon Jucy Snooze has it made for those coming off a red eye from Australia or are leaving on an early morning flight to Australia because its in a perfect location and you can get a decent amount of shut eye, whatever you decide to do!

Jucy Snooze is also really inexpensive too, from NZ$30 a night, you really can’t go wrong, there’s a great common room where there’s hammocks, a kitchen and lounge chairs everywhere to sit and read or even plane spot!

I’ll be making sure to use Jucy Snooze again if I happen to fly on a late night flight from Australia, as it’s really that perfect!

These vlogs coming out aren’t my best work - I know. A lot of distractions with family not wanting to be on camera as well as needing to get into the routine like I did in Japan. I will endeavour to make it better once I’ve finished my Christchurch series.

Whilst I was in Hiroshima I decided on a few days off to catch up on vlogs and have a bit of R&R after I had been sick for a good chunk of my Japan adventure.

Whilst I was there I shot discreetly my time in a Japanese supermarket just to show the difference compared to a typical Australian or New Zealander supermarket.

I definitely recommend visiting one as not only are they a great way to save money when travelling on a budget, it’s a great way to learn on typical Japanese groceries and some shopping ideas to use when in Japan.

I went to the Crusaders Longest Lunch in Christchurch and shared my experience with you all, when I wasn’t eating of course 😂

For those who don’t know, the Crusaders are a team from Christchurch, New Zealand, who are the most successful in the Super Rugby tournament, with 8 titles to their name and are the current title holders.

2018 is shaping up to be another good season with the Crusaders currently at the top of the table with 5 rounds to go.

Thanks to Codie Taylor and David Havili for sitting with me and chatting about my travels, YouTubing, Jewish culture and living in Brisbane. It was great to have a non rugby conversation, even though I think Codie now thinks I’m a heavy drinker 😳😳😳

All in all, great fun and also was so awesome to meet Irish Rugby legend Ronan O’Gara, who is now an assistant coach at the Crusaders.

These vlogs coming out aren’t my best work - I know. A lot of distractions with family not wanting to be on camera as well as needing to get into the routine like I did in Japan. I will try my best next vlogs to make it better.
