I’m an amateur photographer and live in Tauranga, NZ and can now call myself a tramper the kiwi hiker name. You’re more likely to meet me in the bush, that’s my retirement happy place, exploring nature.
Recently I created a lasting personal memory by walking Te Araroa solo, ending up in Bluff in March 2022, five months of jumping around the Covid lockdowns and navigating the back country. With no hiking, physical or endurance experience I was truly challenged walking long days especially over the NZ mountains.
I wrote each night at camp my blog is a raw and unedited description of the tracks, cellphone photos and of my experiences. https://www.teararoa.org.nz
