The Catlins in New Zealand are probably the least explored Area in New Zealand. But if you do get a chance do it.
There is this ruggedness and wild feeling of exploring the Catlins in New Zealand. From almost being at the end of the World and being at the most southern point in New Zealand, to se[...]

Standing on a Glacier seams to be a part of a lot of peoples Bucket List. I can't say it was a part of mine, regardless of that I have been given the chance to experience it. And why not make the most of it?
Back in November when I was traveling the South Island with Alina, we (well she more) w[...]

I feel like the only way to give it a little bit of justice, especially because of this extreme weather change, is to share the day that my view of Wanaka changed. Yesterday was still a beautiful sunny autumn day, and overnight turned to an episode of Wanaka in Winter.
Wanaka has turned into a b[...]

Sitting on top of a Mountain, or should I rather say hill looking over autumn in Wanaka, where all the leaves are coloured in golden yellow and orange hues, makes my heart skip....not a bad place is you ask me, to get some thoughts down on Paper. Well the digital Paper anyways.Its great how the wo[...]

Mount Cook National Park has a lot of offer, not only is it home to New Zealand highest Mountain but has a total of 700km mˆ2, there is a lot of exploring that can be done. Only about 40% of that area being a Glacier, is a little hard to explore. Now most of us, will never be able to explore every[...]

- I believe a story can best be told from Photographs. No matter how hard you try to explain something, it will never have the same feel. The reason for the Mueller Hut Photographs and 42 of them to be exact. This is especially the case when it's unique and special until they have seen it for themself[...]

Mueller Hut is one of those Must Do New Zealand things.
I found this to be one of the most challening and hardest Hikes I have done in this small Country. It was even worth than Avalache Peak, in Arthus Pass. Somehow it was also one of the most rewarding hikes I have done. A complete sence of ac[...]

- When I first arrived in Arthurs Pass I was already flashed from/the drive there such pure beauty. New Zealand really is a Playground of complete Nature.
Sometimes when we plan things we dont realize how small villiages are, what little population there is and what there really is to do, because [...]

- One of New Zealands most scenic (Train) Jounrey's, the Tranz Alpine Train.
Every Traveller has there own Agenda, what may seam cool and exiting to one is just boring to the other. Some like to Party hard, other like to drink Tea and watch the stars at night. But really what ever we like to do is be[...]

Getting in touch with the Tasman Glacier.
The Tasman Valley located in the Aoraki / Mount Cok National Park is home to the largest Glacier in New Zealand with a distance of 17km. On a very fine Sunny Day, I took the chance to go out with the Glacier Explorers onto the Tasman Glacier L[...]

Hearing the term "Avalanche Peak" should have scared me off but it didn't, infact I though nothing off it. . At the i-Site it was displayed as one of the many Day Walks - or should I say tramping trails? Having planned on being in Arthurs pass for four Days, and there was nothing else do to exce[...]

No this is not where Hookers live, or will you find any! It is however one of the easiest, most spectacular and popular walks in the Mount Cook National Park, maybe even one of the best Walks in all of New Zealand. Welcome to the Hooker Valley Track!
Sometimes I don't know if all of the is qu[...]
