About the author

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!

As it turns out, my favorite place in Canada is Labrador ❤️ along with Newfoundland. Trust me, no one is more surprised than me. I’ve always been drawn to big mountains topped with glaciers and wild places that take your breath away. Labrador has that in abundance.

I love returning here year after year in the autumn with @adventure.canada. So many of my fellow guides are locals, and getting to travel with them there is so special, especially when we go to the Torngats - which might be my favorite national park in North America. You can’t see it in this photo but at the top of the ridge in the distance, a polar bear was snoozing with her two cubs. What a place!

The @wilddunedin Festival is on right now, and honestly, there’s no better place for it than Dunedin.

One of my favourite cities in NZ, a little wild, a little weird, and completely surrounded by incredible nature. If you’ve been looking for an excuse to visit, this is it.

Think wildlife, walks, talks, and all the good local energy. Swipe through to see some of my fave memories from this rad little city at the bottom of the world.

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
