Despite growing up worlds apart (Regina from Colorado, and Tom from England), we both had a calling for new adventures and found ourselves in New Zealand (Aotearoa), a beautiful tiny country at the bottom of the Earth. Our worlds finally collided when we met online in March 2020. After exchanging a few messages, we started phone conversations, and eventually virtual Zoom dates. Even though the whole world stood still at this time, we never ran out of things to say over those first six weeks. When it was finally safe to meet, Tom invited Regina on a volcano tour around Auckland. This featured many fun facts (as Tom will attest) about Auckland's unique landscape, as well as delicious snacks every few minutes. Since then, we've explored the beautiful country together hiking the stunning mountains, camping in remote landscapes and kayaking the turquoise waters. We hope to continue to share our passion for adventure and trail snacks (more importantly), as we grow and explore more unchartered territories in our future lives together building our own Whānau (family).
