Description
Walking across New Zealand on the legendary Te Araroa trail. What is it like to leave the comfort of home and embark on months of wandering through the wild landscapes of Middle-earth? I walked the South Island, hitchhiked to the glaciers under Mount Cook, and kayaked into the golden bays of Abel Tasman National Park. And when the trails ended, I made my own. You will encounter impenetrable forests, glacial rivers, and breathtaking mountains that can both diminish and enlarge a person at the same time. There will also be moments when you have to laugh to avoid going crazy — like when your tent falls victim to 'devilish chickens'. - Why is Te Araroa considered one of the toughest trails in the world? - What will several months of wandering in the wilderness do to you? - What awaits you in the legendary Longwood swamps? Come dream and laugh at trail mishaps. Let yourself be carried away by a story that begins where the comfort zone ends — and where friendships and unforgettable experiences are born. Merisi aka Soul on the Road looks forward to seeing you.
