Personally, I would have to use a great deal of imagination to feel threatened in New Zealand - ignoring volcanoes, of course!

Hi Anna,

I just got home this morning and collapsed for a while after being awake for 26 hours – I still cannot sleep on planes.

"May I ask what made you feel that a target is pinned on you? Personally, I would feel challenged and scared to be walking by myself and also alone in a deserted street at night anywhere in the world. I wonder why New Zealand?"

By New Zealand standards Auckland has a high crime rate; particularly for assault (OK I’m a Wellingtonian). The Dinner Jacket just seemed to say, This guy has some money in his pocket.”

"I plan to go to Frankfurt soon, I thought this is one of the safest city to travel in Germany with the recent attacks on minorities recently but you mentioned “certain areas," I feel ok now.”

It was area specific; we were staying out in the suburbs.

“You must be a tall guy, I am very short! (Please excuse if I sound like I am stereotyping, I apologize!)”

Try 6’3” and 140 lbs – All Black forwards are pretty stereotyped but probably a bit fitter than me.

“So I am curious if Trafalgar would allow me to ask you "what is the best tour company that you have travelled with?"

For coach tours, Insight would be our first choice, with Trafalgar coming next.

Hello Tangata,

Any travel plan soon? It seems like you are always on the go, Asia, Europe etc/
What trips are you taking soon or next year?
