The Hobbiton in Matamata Another item in my travel agenda to New Zealand is to visit the rolling hills of The Shire where the home of Bilbo Baggins and other hobbits lie.

#TheBigTrip2012: Bungy jumping in Mokai Gravity Canyon!
I left the Philippines convinced that when I get to New Zealand, I was really going to do bungy jumping. It was one of the non-negotiable things I MUST DO.

(First part of a series.) Every year, I try to make it a point to go on a big trip.
