NZ Herald article – My Holiday: Ellis Emmett
The NZ Herald interviews Ellis Emmett about travel and adventure.
What was your greatest holiday?
Several months travelling through South East Asia by scooter – over 5000km in all. Arrested, interrogated, held at gunpoint (three times), pocket picked, passport stolen, mugged and left flat broke. Loved every minute of it …
A little girl’s very cute speech
Hi Ellis, it is Zeta here.
How are you going? At my school we have to do a speech. I was going to do it about the Amazon River, but then mum can up with the best idea. (dad did not like it) LOL. It was to do it about you! I thought it was a brilliant idea.
So know I am doing it about you. If you want to write a comment you are more than welcome to. I hope you enjoy it.
XOXOXO Love Zeta (age 10)
