Taking off from an airfield in Glenorchy, the landscape below was still hidden in shadow, but the peaks ahead held the promise of something spectacular. With the window folded up for a crystal-clear view, I was ready—camera in hand—to

Bikepacking with Aeroe

Heading into Mavora lakes is one of our favourite destinations to escape. Rather than drive around the mountains from Queenstown we decided we’d take a more direct line as the valleys start just across the lake from our home. A bit more of an Adventure and perfect place to test out the Aeroe bikepacking carrier system.

Cherry blossom in Japan

Sony flew me to Korea (click here if you haven't read it) and I figured japan is so close I might as well go there. I’ve heard and seen so much of Japan. The immense culture, insane powder for skiing, stunning architecture, cherry blossom, history, there's a lot to it. Japan’s always been on my list to properly

Korea antics with Sony
