Adventure through Aotearoa
Kia ora!!! I’m Hannah, a Kiwi girl who's fallen in love with Aotearoa 💌
Over the last 7+ years, I’ve travelled the country from tip to toe 🚐 I've hiked through mountains, slept under the stars and slowly discovered the places that make this country feel like magic.
I’ve learned so much about exploring here. So, if you’re sitting at home with 47 tabs open and a bit unsure where to begin, let me help you 🫶🏼
Inside this guide, you’ll find:
✅ My fav hikes, campsites, beaches, waterfalls, photo spots, coffee shops...
✅ Road trip ideas & suggested itineraries
✅ Little tips & tricks I wish I’d known before I started exploring
It's perfect for you if you love beautiful views, spending time outdoors and want to go home saying, “That was the best trip of my life."
I can’t wait for you to fall in love with this beautiful country the way I have :)
Happy travels & mā te wā, Han 🤍
