THRU-HIKING, BIKEPACKING AND TRAVELING 15 COUNTRIES WITH ONE RUCKSACK

We are all born with seeds of untapped potential, no matter where we live on this planet…”

We were lucky enough to find ourselves sandwiched between two massive storm days. Yesterday we chose to wait out the sky’s eerie howls, hiking half the day to arrive at the Blue Lake hut that night. Tomorrow we would likely see the gnarliest New Zealand storm yet. But today we were infinite. There is wild, there is peaceful, and then there’s New Zealand - that’s both at the same time…”
