tales of travel, nature, wildlife and amazing places.

Kia Ora, we are Steve and Julie, we like to call ourselves ‘English Kiwis’ born in the UK, but New Zealand is now home. Or was until February 2015, when we took a massive leap out of our comfort zone. Getting rid of everything we owned, jumping off the corporate hamster wheel and choosing a life of long term travel. Travel filled with outdoor adventures, wildlife encounters, and the best nature has to offer.

We would love for you to join us on our journey. We will share photos, tales, and tips to inspire your own travel dreams.
