PHOTO: JACKIE NORMAN – NZ’s got it all right here!

In 2016 I sold my conventional two-storey home in Whangamata and embarked on a full-time life on the road.

I didn’t know where I was going, but that didn’t matter. I had the whole country to explore, and up until then, I had seen an embarrassingly small part of it.

Before hitting the road, I lived in the North Island for 25 years. Hardly anyone I knew had been to the South Island. It seems that as a nation, we are so hellbent on getting out of “boring” little old New Zealand and doing the big OE, it never occurs to us to travel our own country first.
