About Us!

Hello, welcome and thanks for reading! We are a family of five Helen, Garth, Tessa (14), Marcus (12) and Heidi (10). We have a passion for travelling and exploring. To be honest we would be on the move full time checking out this amazing world we live  if it were possible but sometimes work, school and life do get in the way!! You never know one day?

Our family are very lucky to have travelled to many places and had many overseas experiences, travel we do believe is the best educator it broadens the mind, widens your thinking and makes your family bond like glue. Our kids often talk about experiences and places that have made a big impression on them.

It is all too easy to get caught up with jobs and being busy so we always take time out to explore new places and spend valuable time together.

We live in the most amazing country and have adventure and beauty and never ending experiences on our doorstop.   

We want to share our love of New Zealand, the World, exploration, adventure, food, laughter and family so please join us for our journey.  Happy  adventures, Helen, Garth, Tessa, Marcus and Heidi xx

About Me

I LOVE travelling and exploring! Any spare time I have you will find me planning our next holiday or day away! I spend hours reading travel books, blogs, websites and Lonely Planets!  Exploring has always been in my blood but really took off when I was 16 and I travelled to Australia from the UK for a 6 week holiday with my family and we camped our way around Australia..I bought my first Lonely Planet  and that was that! After graduating from University I embarked on what would become 2 years of travelling the world, I returned to work in the travel industry and eventually ended up moving to New Zealand where I now live and am a Stay At Home Mum to my 3 wonderful kids!

As well as  travelling overseas we love exploring the other side of our own doorstep...I really want to share our adventures and inspire you to make your own and also give handy tips and trivia, I learn so much from other people I feel I would like to give back.

Enjoy and happy exploring! xx
