Catching the bus in new places.

I've just arrived in Taipei and wow, so impressed with transit, how family friendly infrastructure is, and how generally pleasing the varied and eclectic buildings are.

Every NZ friend (or stranger) that I have met in Australia admits they wished they had moved sooner. Better jobs, wages & quality of life higher, cost of living lower (mostly) and, unprompted, ppl mention the 12.5% employer cont.

NZ needs serious policy responses to boost the reasons to stay.

I'm in a coastal town in the Mornington Peninsula (VIC) at the moment, and cool to stumble across this on-demand bus service outside a retirement village. Unsure how much it is used though (!).

Even on a grey day, Ockham's Greenhouse looking pretty stunning! Not affordefor many, but still much needed housing in this area.

A milestone last month, clocked 3,000km on my e-bike (and enjoyed wisteria season on the NW cycleway!). E-assist has been transformational and changed how I have travelled over the last year. 🌷🚲
