Update – congrats to Kendra for winning the trip to New Zealand with me in October 2017 – we still have spots available on my next trip in March 2018
Hello all!
In March this year I hosted for my very first group trip around New Zealand with Haka Tours. It was fun and epic and I decided I wanted to do some more.
Last week I announced two more adventure tours with me around New Zealand. The first trip is 12 days and goes around the South Island. This was the same trip I did with Haka Tours way back when in 2013 and it’s pretty much what made me move to Wanaka. You’ve been warned.
From sleeping under the stars in the Abel Tasman National Park to walking beneath glacier to swimming in turquoise lakes to throwing yourself off very high places to drinking wine under the sun in pretty much the most epically beautiful country in the world, I promise it’s going to be amazing.
The second trip is in March 2018 next year and it’s a bit fancier, it’s for 14 days and goes around both islands.
But this week when I was catching up with Haka Tours, I realized I haven’t done a giveaway on here in quite a while.
Can you forgive me?
Well, you better because we’ve decided I’m going to give one of you guys a spot on my October trip around New Zealand with Haka Tours. Wahoo! Come join me for 12 amazing days as I show you all my favorite spots around the South Island.
Here is your chance for a free trip to New Zealand (minus flights, sorry!)
The giveaway will run for the next week and end at noon Wednesday September 6, 2017 NZ time (8pm EST Tuesday Sept 5th). You can enter below on Rafflecopter. Be sure to leave me a comment below and tell me why you want to visit New Zealand! Good luck!
Here’s a little visual inspiration to get you excited!















I’ve always been fascinated by the culture and landscape of New Zealand. I’d love to explore it in person!
time to make it a reality!
Oh boy, I sure hope I win the chance to travel from Australia in all its reds back to New Zealand the land of blue and green. I have been so fortunate to stumble across your blog, like yourself I am an American traveling the world. After my company got acquired in SF I moved to New Zealand with no intention of coming home. After the most amazing 8 months in Wanaka, my favorite place in the world, I have moved over to Perth and am itching to go back home to NZ.
I would love the opportunity to meet you and more importantly pick your brain. I have a love for interesting people who have different life experience and you’d be wonderful to have a cup of coffee with, maybe at The Federal Diner (jk). Thanks for spreading the world of travel, I wish more people knew its possible to do something you love everyday in the place you love doing it.
oh wow!
I’ve heard so much about the south islandand hippie fun it is. Sounds like there are beautiful mountains with lots of adventure. Can’t wait to win my trip!!??
cool!
I started following you a couple of years ago when I was looking into a New Zealand road trip- since then, I have followed you to Iceland and am making plans for Mongolia. Can’t wait to see where you go next!
Very cool!
