New Zealand Adventure: Hobbiton
Did you know that there’s ranking in the Hobbit’s houses based where they are placed? That’s why Mr. Bilbo Baggins’ house is on the top-most one.
Go to this most picturesque private farmland. The set has been completely rebuilt for The Hobbit and will remain as it was seen in these films and The Lord of the Rings film trilogy.
Clickhere to book in a fascinating two-hour guided tour.
Truly a MUST-VISITplace when in New Zealand! :)

Tuesday 13 February 2018 - Spark Arena, Auckland New Zealand - PARAMORE!
Epic night this was, snippets of some of the faves…It’s been a wee while since the team has been back in NZ.
This was the 3rd time they’ve been in NZ, and all times I’ve been to see them.
They just keep getting better each time they come around with their new music.
I remember getting into them when I was in High School Almost 10 years later, and it’s still awesome as ever!
I didn’t even care that I was in the mosh pit with tweens 14-16 year olds, y’all don’t mess with the O.G’s lol.
Hardly any islanders in the crowd (unless it was security lol) but I’m glad I have a range of genres I’m interested in…I’m no longer the “RnB only” girl .
Set-List (Paramore):
Hard Times
Ignorance
Still Into You
Forgiveness
Fake Happy
That’s What You Get
I Caught Myself
Pool
Hate To See Your Heart Break
Caught In The Middle
Told You So
Idle Worship
No Friend
Misery Business
Ain’t It Fun
Encore:
Grow Up (with 20 Something mash-up)

Route Collective had our first exhibition last month. I’d recently come back from an awesome months trip to the other side of planet Earth, so I thought i’d show some pictures from over there.
I was pretty stoked with how they turned out, so I submitted them to Stay Young for Issue Five.
Submissions are still open so swing them an email with some of your photos.
P.s - my dad built that house! (nice one dad.)

Lest we forget? Emily Place reserve, Auckland
Urban Sketchers session 30 April 2022
For anyone who follows my Instagram page, you may have noticed a recent onslaught of posts from my three-week trip down under. For those who don’t - and you really should - here is a round-up of my favourite artsy moments from what was easily the most exciting excursion of my life so far.
Tauranga Art Gallery
My adventure began in the New Zealand harbour city of Tauranga, where a great friend, and ex-colleague, currently resides. I had a few days here to recover after the gruelling 28-hour flight, before my friend’s wedding ceremony took place just outside Hot Water Beach, no less. The Tauranga Art Gallery was a small but progressive affair, at the time showcasing ten artworks that require visitor engagement to come alive in the Art That Needs Youexhibition.
Auckland Galleries and Museums
I headed over to Auckland after my time in the Coromandel for five days of city exploration. I visited the highly regarded Auckland War Memorial Museum and the New Zealand Maritime Museum, which is located just next to the ferry terminal. I also spent a quiet weekday morning at the Auckland Art Gallery in Albert Park admiring the mix of international contemporary art - such as Limbo, 2015, above, by Judith Darragh - and traditional Maori painting. Yayoi Kusama’s ObliterationRoom has also been on show here since 2002, and allows visitors to add colourful spot stickers to an apartment-style room.
Sydney Galleries and Museums
As with Auckland, I had a long list of museums and galleries to visit once I arrived in Sydney, including the Australian Museum,Museum of Contemporary Art, and the State Library of New South Wales. I have been familiar with the collection of the Art Gallery of New South Wales since starting ArtMastered, so spending time here was a major highlight for me. Located in the Royal Botanic Gardens, the gallery features some truly iconic works from Australia’s biggest artists. I also managed to fit in a quick stop at the White Rabbit Gallery on my very last day: this is a real gem of a location, featuring works from contemporary Chinese artists, such as Peng Hung-Chih’s The Deluge - Noah’s Ark from 2014, above.
Street Art
I have a real love-hate relationship with street art. Graffitiing public walls landmarks is not something I advocate in general, but when done well and respectfully, street art can be a beautiful thing. I saw some stunning examples whilst I was away; pieces that complemented their surroundings or brightened up an otherwise plain area of the city, like the colourful heart above from Auckland.
Please take a look at my Instagram page for more peeks into my trip, including pictures from my day-tour of Hobbiton!
