All my friends are buying houses and having babies, yet I'm about to embark on my fourth big trip travelling. Here's how it feels to give it all up again to travel in your thirties.
Everything you need to know about the stunning Routeburn Track: what to expect, transport, distance, elevation, difficulty, information on the huts and how to make the most of this amazing hike.
The age old question: which of the Routeburn, Milford or Kepler Track should you do? We love them all, but we’ll also tell you which of the three is the best.
The Routeburn Track was the first of the Great 9 Walks we were hiking in 9 weeks and it's a pretty special track to start with. Even in bad weather, it's a stunning track that weaves through electric blue rivers, mountains, glaciers and ridges, offering spectacular views when the clouds part.
Finally, after all the planning and waiting, the first of our 9 Great Walks was here, and we were beyond excited to be starting with the World famous Routeburn Track. It’s a hike we’ve both wanted to do for years and we couldn’t think of a better way to start our big challenge.
