Four Million Steps

Four Million Steps

Te Araroa is a 3,000 km walking and paddling path connecting the top of New Zealand’s North Island to the bottom of the South Island.

This was my first long distance hike. I completed most of the trail in the Summer of 2014/15, before breaking my ankle a week before my planned finish. After surgery and six months of recovery, I returned the following Summer, in December 2015, to successfully complete the walk.

This walk was a transformative experience for me. The journey changed my life, my way of living, and how I look at the world around me. Four Million Steps documents the journey and my spiritual shift.
