The most scenic hike in Canterbury: Peak Hill
Let me introduce one of the most scenic hikes, in my opinion anyways, Peak Hill in the beautiful Canterbury region. I’ve said it many times but this hike is like the Roy’s Peak of Canterbury. Without the hours of an upward slog and line up to take ‘the shot’. Don’t get me wrong, it isn’t […]
Photographing Lupins in the south island of New Zealand
Lupin season is one of the most busiest and loved times of the year in the south island of New Zealand. Especially among visitors. The bright and vibrant plants make the most beautiful photos and are pretty easy to spot. They are by many lakes and rivers, on the side of the roads and in […]
Mackenzie high country with Tekapo Adventures
I’ve been to the Lake Tekapo many times. Every time I have stopped by the lake, took some photos and left. Pretty much what everybody does. I never really thought about what was beyond. With my urge to get off the beaten path and explore New Zealand’s high country the best and only possible option […]
Story time: Exploring the magic of Tasman Lake
“Proceed with caution”, “Enter at your own risk”, “Avalanche area” Being from the prairies these are all things Lauren doesn’t exactly get excited about, but they had a 4WD ute, Chris’s confidence and his need to drive off the beaten path. So, on they went. Neither one had been to Tasman Lake before. They weren’t […]
Story time: The Hooker Valley Track
The work week was over and the weekend finally here. Lauren was more than excited for what the next two days would bring. She felt like a kid in a candy store living in New Zealand not knowing where to go first or next. Should she go up a mountain, wander around a lake or […]
Black Cat Cruises nature cruise- Akaroa, New Zealand
I walked up the wharf with one thing on my mind. It was chilly out and the clouds were threatening rain but I was more excited than ever to get my pass, board the Black Cat cruises boat and set out into the harbor. I’ve been to Akaroa a few times before exploring the coastline […]
Back to my country roots at Silo Stay- Little River
If I could think of the perfect accommodation for a country girl or really anyone for that matter it’d have to be something away from the city and a rural feel. Birds chirping and animals grazing in paddocks. Something cozy and farm like but also surrounded by mountains and some sort of body of water…Read more about Back to my country roots at Silo Stay- Little River[…]
Exploring Lake Tekapo, New Zealand
Yes the water is that blue. Yes the stars shine that bright. And yes Lake Tekapo,New Zealand no matter how popular or busy it gets is a site to see. Surrounded by mountains, the turquoise blue water glimmers in the sun and on any given afternoon the town site is flooded with people from all […]
Exploring the Ashburton lakes in Canterbury, New Zealand
The weather can be a challenge in Canterbury, New Zealand sometimes. And by sometimes I mean a lot. I’ve come to realize it’s windy more than it is calm, so on those 10 km/hr wind days, I do anything I can to get out and chase me some reflections! I’ve been to the Ashburton Lakes […]
weekend west coast road trip, New Zealand
Road tripping in New Zealand is probably one of my favourite things to do besides actually exploring the places that I road trip to! The country is incredibly scenic and you’re able to see so many different things and landscapes in such a short time. Never did I think I could be in the mountains […]
