Liz

Hi, I'm Liz, and I got my first taste for traveling when I was 16 years old. On my own, 10 years and 50 something countries later, my wanderlust has only grown and the list of countries I want to visit longer.

Find me on or or I'll email you!

I didn’t realize how much I craved community until I stepped aboard the Ocean Endeavour last summer with @adventure.canada. A lifelong loner, I’ve always preferred to walk my own path, to travel solo, and do my own thing. While I have so many amazing friends in my life, when it came to my work, I was very solitary.
.
But once I made my dream come true of becoming a polar guide on expedition ships, I quickly realized what I loved the most was the people. Adventure Canada feels like my family. I could sit down with any of the team and feel happy and content. We all have each other’s backs and are so close. I didn’t realize how much I longed for that until I finally had it. Trust me, no one was more surprised than me, a proud introvert. I’m so happy that life has led me in this direction ❤️ and 📸 by the incredible @nicole.holmann

My friends over at the @antarcticheritage have opened applications for their next Inspiring Explorers programs which will go to the Ross Sea side of Antarctica with @heritageexpeditions following in the footsteps of the great explorers.
.
This is such a cool opportunity, marking the 10th anniversary of the Inspiring Explorers Program. The guardians of some of the most important relics and historic huts from the golden age of polar exploration, the AHT are offering the chance for some of you guys to get down to one of the most remote corners of the world.
.
If you’re passionate about pushing beyond your comfort zones, visiting Antarctica and growing an explorer mindset, you’ve got to apply. Don’t pass go. Don’t collect $200. Apply now - link in my stories and on the @antarcticheritage page 🤘 good luck!

Still on such a high from having my New Zealand citizenship approved. It’s been home now for well over a decade, and I’m so lucky to call this place home. No matter where I travel, I’m always grinning when I land back in Aotearoa ❤️

Officially a kiwi 🎉 over a decade of living and loving New Zealand, we’ve made it official. What an honor ❤️

Who is Young Adventuress?

Hi, I'm Liz, and I got my first taste for traveling when I was 16 years old. On my own, 12 years and 50 something countries later, my wanderlust has only grown and the list of countries I want to visit longer. After living in Spain for the past few years and returning home for a stint, I then quit my job and moved to New Zealand and I've been here ever since. Follow my misadventures as I wander, eat, and photograph my way around the world
