INTERNeX Canada: Picture of the week

As you know, last weekend Mercedes and I went to Whistler. The last day, we got up very early in the morning and we went to the forest to do trekking. I told you in an old post that a have a strong high-fear. But at the moment that this picture was taken, I didn’t know anything about trekking, for that reason I’m so happy and relaxing at the photo. And so ridiculous with my helmet…

But finally, it was an amazing experience! It can be a little shocking but is very safe. As you can see at the picture, with all this stuff hanging, is impossible that any accident happens. You have to try it!

Kisses,

Clara.

Head down under – Head to New Zealand!

The world we live in is a large and beautiful place. There are approximately 195 countries on earth, all offering different landscapes, cultures and languages. So, have you been exploring yet?  Maybe you’ve only been thinking about traveling, or maybe you’re currently planning your next move. But, if you’re searching for a destination where the landscape is green and the mountains soar as high as your dreams – you’re searching for New Zealand.

New Zealand’s spectacularly beautiful landscape includes vast mountain chains, steaming volcanoes, sweeping coastlines, deeply indented fiords and lush rainforests. Comparable in size and shape to Great Britain, Colorado or Japan, New Zealand has a population of only 4 million – making it one of the world’s least crowded countries. It is a haven for those seeking peace, rejuvenation and relaxation as well as a playground for thrill seekers and adventurers. A temperate climate with relatively small seasonal variation makes it an ideal year-round holiday destination.

Start planning now and you could be on your way to New Zealand in time for the 2011 Rugby World Cup – the premier international rugby union competition. Canada, Australia, England, South Africa, USA, France, Scotland, Ireland, Italy, Samoa, Fiji, and Tonga are just a few of the competing countries! This is the third largest sporting event in the world, behind the Olympics and the Soccer World Cup.
