This is a view I was dreaming to see when I visited New Zealand

A view I thought I wasn’t going to get after already spending 3 days in the Taranaki Area

The final day, Mt Taranaki finally peaked through and I was able to capture this and other beautiful shots

A memory I’ll always remember

Hiking the Hooker Valley Track 🥾 This is proba

Hiking the Hooker Valley Track 🥾

This is probably the most famous day hike in all of the South Island!

The Hooker Valley track is a 10km return hike, mainly consisting of flat ground and boardwalks.

It is a easy hike, but I would recommend taking it slow and taking in all the beautiful scenery - cause there is plenty!

Couple recommendations ⬇️

▫️If you are staying in the national park, I recommend hiking for sunset or sunrise. There are less people and the golden glow you get over Mt Cook is incredible
▫️ It gets very cold at the end of the track, especially at sunset so I’d bring a jacket
▫️There is a small hut you can stay out just off the track, which is worth looking into!

Have you or are you planning on hiking this trail?

A trip to New Zealand wouldn’t be complete witho

A trip to New Zealand wouldn’t be complete without visiting the famous Milford Sound

I do recommend you spend as much time here as possible, as there is so much to do here!

I have a full 3 day itinerary up on the blog (link in bio) - but for now his some tips ⬇️

▫️ Visit the places leading into Milford Sound early in the morning. Tour buses usually arrive around 9-10am, it gets packed during these times!

▫️If you want to do any hikes (which I recommend you do) - you’ll need to spend atleast 2 days here

▫️There are a few cheap campsites in the area, but if you want to stay in Milford sound, the only place is the @milfordsoundlodge - which I’d book in advance

▫️Book a cruise on one of the smaller boats - less people and easier to see the sights

▫️ It will most likely be raining, bring a rain coat 😂

▫️If you are going on a cruise, there is free parking a short walk from the cruise area. This will save you quite a bit on parking tickets!

Is Milford sound on your NZ bucketlist?

Sealy Tarns Hike mini Guide ⬇️

This is the second most popular day hike in Mt Cook/Aoraki National park. It is a 3-4hr return track which involves hiking up 2000 steps 😅

This hike is all uphill but definitely gives some of the best views over Mt Cook and the surrounding mountains 🏔️

TIPS ⬇️

▫️Go early morning to avoid the crowds
▫️Only complete this hike in winter if you have avalanche training/snow experience! ❄️
▫️If you are completing the Muller Hut hike, complete this one on the same day as it’s the same path. Don’t do what I did and do it two different days without realising it’s the same route 😅

If you are going to this national park, I highly recommend you complete this hike and the famous Hooker Valley track! 🥾

5 FUN FACTS 🎊 Haven’t done one of these for

5 FUN FACTS 🎊

Haven’t done one of these for a while, so here’s another 5 facts about the person behind this account ⬇️

🪳 I have an irrational fear of cockroaches, any other creepy Crawley I am fine with, but cockroaches -especially the ones that fly, hate them. I blame this purely on several flying at my face as a child 😂

📖 I was studying event management/public relations then psychology- before I quit uni and became a stevedore

🍀 I am a good luck charm for others winning things but not lucky myself - everyone who has ever brought a lotto ticket before me or sat next to me at the Casio, always wins something 😅

💁‍♀️ I have been single for almost 7 years and there is absolutely nothing wrong with this! I’ve valued this time alone and it’s allowed me to learn a lot about myself

🌊 I love the ocean and have heaps of respect for it, but I have a small fear of being stranded at sea. Never stopped my going out on a boat, but deep sea is something else 😳

Do you want me to start these up again? Or are we done with this series?

Hiking Roys’s Peak mini guide ⬇️ I will not

Hiking Roys’s Peak mini guide ⬇️

I will not lie, this is a tough, long hike!

The hike is all uphill, with a steady gradient that is that awkward level, which simultaneously stretches and hurts the calves.

The views the whole way are absolutely incredible though and the views at the top are 100% worth it!

A few tips ⬇️

▫️Start early morning - this is a popular hike and gets very busy from about 8am onwards
▫️The worst section is the first 45mins - it’s the worst gradient in my opinion
▫️Expect this hike to take anyways between 3-6hrs, depending on your fitness
▫️The viewpoint (first photo) isn’t the top! And you may need to wait for photos here
▫️The summit is about 30mins away from the view point, it’s a tiny platform but well worth it
▫️There are bathrooms at the start and at the viewpoint - bring your own toilet paper 🧻

Is it worth doing? Absolutely! This was also my first time seeing real snow which was a great treat 🤩
