Chasing adventure for our 40th birthday, but make it accessible.

Taranaki

This year Jock and I both turn 40, and I'd love to take us on an adventure to listen to the kiwis at Rotokare at night. Hoping we can also have a night at the beach so we can wake up to the ocean and I was also hoping we could check out some glow worms.

Trick is, while all those activities are free, due to Jock now being semi paralyzed and needing accessible bathroom and sleep spaces, my original plan of jamming a mattress in the car is not going to be suitable. Also my own foot issues would appreciate accessibility too.

I so badly want to make some joy filled exciting memories in amongst all the hard stuff we are going through.

So! I want to hire an RV! It's off season, so that too should be reasonably affordable. Two or three nights would be amazing, and anything extra will go towards gas and snacks.

I cannot even remember the last time we had a holiday, probably was ten years ago!

I feel cheeky asking for money, with times being tough for everyone. Please don't feel pressure to donate. Any little bit helps, and I appreciate you taking the time to read all of this 💛
