Walking Wild

I'm Emma,

I'm a 25 year old ex-semi professional ballet dancer from Central Otago, NZ.

I'm one of the Most Highly Qualified Beauty Therapists in the World.

I also represented NZ as an International Beauty Pageant Queen. Twice.

And Now?

I'm a Hunter and a Dirty Old Possum Trapper.

And I LOVE it.

Any of you who know me well enough know I've been fighting some serious demons over the last few years.. I owe a lot of people who've been in my life the last 10 years a lot more than just an apology. Im working on it, I swear. There's a bit of a backlog, I've managed to create quite a list! :\

I'm going to walk the length of New Zealand as I find the old Emma again and what it is that I'm here to do.

On the 26th of November I will take my first step of the 3000km trail from Cape Reinga to Bluff.

Along the way I propose to take a video diary on my go pro and keep you all updated on my progress, setbacks, challenges, failures and successes.

I guarantee it will not be predictable, boring or like anyone you've followed before.

I'll also post when and where I am going to be starting specific sections of the track so that if you are free and want to have a bit of a walk and a yarn and catch up, feel free to arrive and join me! Do something out of your ordinary and push yourself!

Also, I'm still in need of a lot of gear, so if anyone is feeling generous (sponsors come at me!), knows where to get the best deal, or wants to lend/donate/sell me some equipment, that'd be greatly appreciated, and hey we might make it onto TV! or even the big screen!

Any advice is also appreciated :)
