About Me
I’m Jules – a tiny tramper and weekend adventurer. I’m not an athlete or an expert – just someone who loves getting outdoors. Originally a Brit, I decided to walk Te Araroa trail the length of New Zealand to celebrate becoming a Kiwi. I have since settled in Nelson at the top of the South Island, and continue to enjoy the backcountry most weekends.
