That's always a tricky question. Originally I'm from Waihi, up in the North Island near Paeroa (loved that massive bottle), but for the last 6-7 years we've been travelling, flitting from place to place due to certain circumstances. Our current residence is in a tiny town in Otago, round about Balclutha, although at the present moment I'm not even in NZ 
Probably be back before 2013, though.
While you were travelling we were in our campervan, before finding our current home. I'd prefer not to go into details as to why (this is the internet, after all), but we weren't homeless* or anything
When the earthquake happened we got quite the shock, as we were in Canterbury at the time. Our friends' house in Christchurch was badly damaged, and when the second quake came it got worse. Hospitable, but unfixable.
Anyway, I don't want to derail the thread. PMs are welcome for further conversation, if you prefer.
Oh, now I feel like L&P.
Carry on.
*Technically we were, but you get the point.
