On the 8th of April 2018, my partner Topher and I began a 3-year overland expedition from the northernmost drivable point in America’s, Deadhorse, Alaska. It was -30C inside the car where we had spent the last 3 nights sleeping in our survival suits and sleeping bags. Our friends and families back home knew very little about our big plan, so we launched our Instagram page, announcing ‘Expedition Earth’ and our journey around the world. It was when we turned the cars ignition to begin our 7 continent adventure that we realized our battery had frozen along with our water, food and cooking gas. It was not the start we had imagined.
6 months earlier, Topher and I were on our second date, picnicking out the back of his car in -5C somewhere near the foot hills of Mt Cook. It was during that day that we bonded over our mutual love for exploration travel. We talked about a road that never ended and a car that could take us anywhere. That night, we shook hands in Topher’s kitchen and made a promise to each other that we would one day drive the world together.
The next day we put pen to paper and drew what would become the route map we are still driving today. In fact, I remember showing Topher a picture of a frozen fur yurt somewhere in the Russian Arctic Circle, which we have now two years later, just returned home from due to Covid-19. We spent days and nights dreaming about the places we could visit, but really there was very little planning. Paralysis by analysis is something that Topher learnt from his music days in the UK, so he agreed this was something we could both overthink. We love the slogan ‘Just do it’.

The RELUCTANT adventurer
An eighteen-year-old princess, who paints his (yes, his) nails and dyes his hair bleach blonde, embarking on an adventure trip with his family, sounds like a plot for a bad 80s movie.

North West Circuit Stewart Island
I found myself in limbo during the winter of 2020, in between jobs in a strained covid economy. And so, I did what any outdoors person would do with a large amount of free time on their hands. It was time to pack up my belongings and hit the road. It was time to leave behind home comforts and go adventure-seeking.

âI want to be the leader!â Miss Six announced, pushing past me in her determination to be in front. Momentarily off-balance with my heavy pack, I narrowly avoided twisting an ankle on the sharp rocks and silently swore while cracking a bright smile.

I recently watched a youtube movie entitled, âHer Wayâ (check it out on the Adventure Website) which introduced a woman who had an overwhelming passion for running. The preface at the bottom of the clip, read as follows:
Adversity at Altitude
The wind and snow is whipping at my face. Iâve readjusted the stiff frozen fleece buff around my neck and mouth, desperately trying to protect myself from the -20 degree bitter wind. Adrenaline is still pumping through my body but I know Iâll start to get cold soon.
