New Zealand

Start of Queen Charlotte Track, New Zealand

Should I walk New Zealand?

I only get a chance to try the start of New Zealand’s Queen Charlotte Track – but it has inspired me to start something new.

Monro Beach walk, South Island, New Zealand

Through rainforest to sea

The Monro Beach track in New Zealand is beautiful – and easy! Let me take you along the path with these photos.

Pancake Rocks, Punakaiki, New Zealand

Stacked full of mystery

These unique rock formations are as mysterious as they are beautiful. If you’re driving along the coast, make sure you stop at Pancake Rocks!

Franz Josef Glacier, New Zealand

Higher, faster, shorter

The glaciers of New Zealand are some of the most stunning landscapes you’ll find in the country. But their existence is under threat – from us!

Rocky Mountain Hike, Wanaka, New Zealand

Kia ora to New Zealand’s South Island

I can’t believe this is the first time I’ve travelled in New Zealand. I start the trip with this stunning hike up Rocky Mountain near Wanaka on the South Island.
