Trip Details

Hey, 28yo guy from Europe here. Picking up a campervan in Auckland on Oct 5th for a 24-day solo trip around both islands. I’ve got 2 extra spots in the van, so I'm hoping to meet easy-going people to join (for the whole ride or just a chunk of it).

I’m a photographer, so the trip is all about hiking, wild beaches, and landscapes. The plan is to head south from Auckland down to the South Island first (Tongariro, Abel Tasman, Mt Cook), then loop all the way back north to Cape Reinga. 

Skipping commercial tourist stuff like Hobbiton. Driving is pretty chill, max 3-4 hours a day.

Only thing to know: I’ll need to work online for ~3 hours most evenings.

Looking to split gas costs. Shoot me a message if you’re interested or want to check out the route!
