I hitched a lift with an Urban Gypsy, alongside her travelling sidekick dog, Badger and went on a road trip adventure over 5 years and 54,000km to see the 'gems' that make NZ the Greatest' country on the planet.

I'm revisiting all my previous haunts and discovering many more too in 2024. This website will be a growing compendium of my daily travel spots I love.
...Starting in NORTHLAND you will discover many more hot spots.
During 2025 the other REGION TABS will be slowly filled day by day. Eventually concluding in the South Island sometime late into 2025, possibly 2026.
