Southbound Hīkoi

Hey there, I'm Zibo! I've moved from across the ditch and lived in the New Zealand for the past two years.

I have spent much of my time here exploring the wonderous landscapes and ecology of New Zealand. Experienced first-hand the great work done by the Department of Conservation (DOC) to make nature accessible to all and preserving it for the future. I have also seen the damage caused by invasive species and human activities. That is why I decided to raise some awareness and funds for the New Zealand Nature Fund.

New Zealand Nature Fund is working alongside DOC in a wide range of conservation projects, protect our most vulnerable and precious habitats and creatures for generations to come.

This September, I'll be going for a "little" walk from Cape Reinga (Tip of the North Island) to Bluff (Bottom of the South Island). A 3000km journey through the beaches, bush and mountains of New Zealand. I hope to bring you all along on my journey, to show you the unfiltered version of this gem hidden in the forgotten corner of the world.
