    029: The Red Canoe at Tasman Glacier with Guy and Alisha

    029: The Red Canoe at Tasman Glacier with Guy and Alisha

    Guy and Alisha first met on a photo mission out at Piha. Fast-forward a couple of years and they got married, moved to Christchurch and continued to adventure together. Guy had a bucketlist photo that he wanted to capture at Tasman Glacier, so the pair bought an old canoe and gave it lots of love. They didn't even know if it would float when they took it out to Aoraki Mount Cook to get the shot. Alisha has overcome numerous health issues that stopped her from getting outdoors, but she says, "don't be afraid to get uncomfortable". Make sure you check out the links below to see their work!

    026: Abel Tasman National Park and Adventure Tourism with Kyle Mulinder

    Kyle Mulinder moved to Abel Tasman 20 years ago for a "boring" sea kayaking job - and never left. Better known by his Instagram handle @barekiwi, I talk to Kyle about his career in tourism and photography and he shares wisdom from decades of guiding in New Zealand's smallest national park. If you haven't been to Abel Tasman yet, this episode is filled with tips to ensure you have an epic experience - whether you're walking, kayaking or on a water taxi. With so much to do at the top of the north, you don't want to skip over the Nelson Tasman region.

    Ps. Keep listening until the end for a surprise.

Now she spends all her time outside of work sailing, scuba diving or having adventures with the community she's found through those activities. Stephanie Haden shares stories from racing, where they had to do repairs mid-race behind Whakaari, White Island. She currently sails on a 114 year old classic yacht with an all female crew.
