It’s been awhile. My frequency when it comes to updating my blog is…non existing, I’m sorry for that (for you wanting updates more often, follow me on Instagram: @helenateodora). Anyhow, I’m almost halfway through Te Araroa, I’ve soon been walking 1500 kilometers. Can’t believe it. Since my last update from the sleepy day in Te Kuiti, a lot have… Read more »
I’ve passed 900 kilometers…can’t believe that I’ve done almost a third of the trail already!

Or WE have actually, cause I’ve got great company: Rune from Denmark and Bella & Matt from Great Britain. We’re not actually walking together during all days but still, it’s great to know that someone’s around when you’re in… Read more »
…before hitting the trail: “Endless Summer Lodge” in beautiful Ahipara. Love it here and it’s absolutely worth the almost 7 hours I spent on different buses from Auckland… Tomorrow morning, I’ll leave for Cape Reinga and the biggest adventure of my life…so far. Hope you’re all with me!
