A true Cantabrian with a love for the skies

I’m a 50-something woman enjoying a second teenagehood. I’m a glider pilot who’s discovered the spiritual bond I feel in the air extends to the earth and the bush.

I’m a writer by profession, a storyteller by inclination, and I have a wide knowledge of the New Zealand bush, its trees, birds, insects, the earth below it and the sky above.

People who come hiking with me will feel welcome in the wilderness. I’ll share the stories of the place and help you see the small things that you may not know to even look for.

We’ll take our time. Hiking with me is about being in the here and now, looking, listening, smelling and connecting to the land. I am not about rushing to make it to the end, just to tick a journey off the list.
I’ll tell you my stories but I also want to hear yours. This is your journey, your trip and I want to make it the best experience you can have.
