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 am about to make some major life changes that will allow me to prioritize travel more! This trip in October would be the perfect way to kickoff my next chapter! I met some awesome kiwis on a recent trip to Tanzania/Kenya (my first and only international trip), and was so inspired to visit NZ. I learned so much about myself on that trip, and am so anxious to discover more on future trips. I’m thinking it’s pretty serendipitous that I discovered this giveaway 🙂
Very cool!
The Lord of the Rings has shaped my entire life, and I’m dying (or would kill, mwuhahaha) to see New Zealand!
Every time I see it on-screen or in pictures that sense of longing to explore it stabs me in the heart. If I could only visit one place in the world it’d be NZ, and I’m pretty sure that’s the place I wanna die. Preferably doing somethin awesome!
If ya like dark humour and need someone entertainin to do crazy outdoorsy stuff with, heres a banterous Northern English actor-writer ready n waiting to accompany you on your Quest and protect ye from any bandits!
hahahah yes!
What an awesome opportunity!
isn’t it?
This is exactly what I need! The pictures excite me and i feel a sense of rush imagining myself breathing in the fresh air and soaking up the scenic beauty around me.
