New Zealand’s Te Araroa - A Speaking Tour

Te Araroa is trending. 

While the Te Araroa Trust estimates there were 200 hikers on the trail last season when we were out there, those numbers are surely doubling this season. 

And because I’ve written about Te Araroa every which way—for Backpacker Magazine, the Appalachian Trials blog, Gregory’s blog, the Therm-a-rest blog, Superfeet’s blog and the Big Agnes blog—we decided it was time to start promoting it via presentation. 

In the months of December and January, we will travel to 8 REI stores across the country to share photos, tips for success, including information on obtaining a Visa, Te Araroa route information and gear suggestions. 

Oh, did we mention we will also be giving away FREE GEAR from companies like Gregory, Hi-Tec, SuperfeetSawyer and more!
