  • CNY

    Gong Xi Fa Cai! Happy Chinese New Year to everyone. It’s one of my favourite holidays of the year, and a chance to eat great food with loved ones. Chinese New Year wasn’t something I grew up with, but I have really taken to it since being with Ky. Enjoy the year of the snake!

  • Explanation

    A few of you have reached out to wonder if Ky and I have put an end to our US adventure. I appreciate the concern! The answer is no. Ky and I have decided to make the most of maternity leave and spend two months in NZ, with a few side trips to Aus for…

  • Takeoff

    I write this on the tarmac of SFO, steeling ourselves for our first long haul flight with our three month old daughter. Our first short haul flight was an 7/10, but averages can be misleading. The process at the airport was a solid 3/10, as we hauled 5 bags of luggage around. The flight itself…

  • Birthday among boxes

    It is my wife’s birthday today. We celebrated by getting up very early to get a jump start on work before the movers arrive, heaving boxes around, having a nightmare at the storage unit, and it isn’t even 3:30. Not exactly glamourous or romantic. Such is life when you’re moving, even temporarily, across the ocean….

  • Never in doubt

    I’m usually a bit of an underdog supporter when it comes to sports; a rather common disposition. However, there are a few exceptions that I have recently been thinking about. First off, I’m a fan of Patrick Mahones, the QB for the Kansas City Chiefs. They have won the past two Super Bowls, and booked…

  • Chaos chasing?

    I’m about to hit the hay after a week focussed solely on packing, working, and planning. It’s been tiring, to say the least. I was chatting about it today with Ky just then; is all this crazy planning just chao seeking? Moving with a small child to NZ, then to Aus, then back to NZ,…

Why I started this blog

I don’t really use Social Media anymore; I’m too young for Facebook, too old for SnapChat, too normie for Discord and too boring for Instagram. While this buys me back time and peace of mind, it means that it can sometimes be difficult to share my life with my friends and family outside of phone calls and in-person meetups. As I live overseas, this can be a difficulty.

With this in mind, and inspired my friend Dan Cullum (check out his fantastic site HERE), I have started a daily blog. Not only will I be able to share my ideas, news, and stories to friends and family, but it serves as a time capsule as I move through life. In the future, I look forward to seeing how my views, opinions, and ideas change over time. At the very least, it is an exercise in discipline, and may be of interest to my descendants at some time in the future.

While I imagine most followers of this blog will be friends and family, all are welcome to subscribe. Feel free to email at harry@harrywetherall.com, I reply to every message, and would love to hear from you.
