“Yeah this hiking thing’s pretty easy” | Te Araroa (Murihiku - Southland)

In the summer of 2023/24, I travelled to Aotearoa/New Zealand and walked the entire length of the country on Te Araroa, The Long Pathway. Although I had completed many multi-day trails in the past, I had never attempted something of this magnitude. Traversing the entire country over the course of 4.5 months and 3000 km, I experienced an adventure that blew away my expectations. I left Queenstown with a lot of mixed feelings, both sad that my adventure was nearly at its end, but also very much suffering from a case of get-there-itis. I did my best to push those feelings inside and keep appreciating every day for what it brought, be that tussock-covered bogs, the gnarliest mud I’ve ever seen, or a windy beach walk. Saying goodbye to this beautiful land was bittersweet, and I look forward to wherever my next grand adventure will take me.
