Exploring the world with you has been the greatest adventure. Through every high and low, you are the one I can always count on. Over the past decade it has been a privilege to watch you grow, to see your curiosity for the world and your fearless way of saying yes to life.

This past year has tested us, yet every challenge has made us stronger. You are a beautiful flower in my life, and I am grateful for all the love and magic you bring into each day. I look forward to the journeys still ahead, to growing together, and to watching you continue to bloom.

I love the way you move. I love what you do. Everything you do is neat.

My mum flew from New Zealand 🇳🇿 to Canada 🇨🇦 in the middle of winter just to cut my hair. No heater, no fancy tools—just cold fingers, good times, and a whole lot of love.

It’s wild to think we’ve taken our little school bus coast to coast across Canada. Looking back, Newfoundland stands out as one of our favorite places—rugged landscapes, wild weather, and the kindest people. Hopefully, we’ll be back soon… maybe chasing icebergs this time? 🚍❄️

We left everything behind in New Zealand to chase a dream on wheels in Canada. From sanding our bus to prepping it for paint, this is just the beginning of our adventure. 🚍✨ Follow along as we navigate the highs, lows, and everything in between. Did we make the right choice? Let’s find out together.

Now live through the link in my bio!

More postcards from Europe! Over halfway through the Canadian winter, and Nakita and I are already dreaming of warmer days. Looking back at exploring the stunning Dolomites in Italy and our favorite campsite in the Julian Alps, Slovenia.

Yes, this another end to 2022 post, but as we come to the end of another year I can’t help but look back at what I’ve achieved.

This year I put a big focus on my client work, pushing to learn, grow and hone in my skill and style. 2022 was filled with some dream projects, jobs and events, each coming with its own set of challenges and unique experience.

Since I don’t usually share much of my client work here, it thought it was time to show off a few of the highlights. Thanks to everyone that’s supported me this year, including some of the best clients, colleagues and friends I could ask for. Here is to 2023, I look forward to what’s to come!

The idea seemed crazy, but after two years of planning, rescheduling and praying for the perfect weather window, the day this project goes live has finally come around. This was easily one of the most challenging and rewarding collaborations I have been a part of. Being above 2000 meters in the mountains, with a couple tonne of equipment, on the middle of a frozen lake, while the ambient temperature dropped well below freezing came with its own challenges. The team did a crazy good job working until the early hours of the morning to pull this all together.

You’re in for a longer haul for this. A 20-minute film of our experience touring the South Island, mostly on dirt roads. There were plenty of highs and lows during our three week journey and we can’t wait to share all of it.
