Exciting! I am in New Zealand right now- just spent 2 weeks in Tasmania and now traveling the South Island. Yesterday I walked the Hooker Valley Track by Mount Cook, and today I am spending a down day at Lake Tekapo, before heading out to see Doubtful Sound, Milford Sound and then 3 days on Stewart Island. I am a bird watcher, so hoping to see Kiwis (the bird) on Stewart Island. I can't wait to follow your hike in New Zealand! It's so beautiful here! If you have the time, do stop over in Tasmania. Well worth it! Thanks for sharing your adventures - and happy trails!
Wonderful! Robinson’s will be such a great sponsor. They have amazing staff - we travel down Vancouver Island just to shop there because they are so knowledgeable! Looking forward to your videos!
New Zealand is amazing. I was there 1.5 years ago in Mai after Australia. It was a little bit cold at that time, so you're doing the right thing to do it now in the summer in New Zealand. Enjoy your trip Krysta and the nature of New Zealand. Greetings from Switzerland, Benjamin
Also, I’m so excited for you guys as a couple Brian looks relaxed and happy and he’s been doing the work. I can tell as someone who’s also been doing the work. Good job both of you.👏👏🖤🖤
WOW, you are truly amazing, weekly videos plus the current NZ short videos!!! I’m really enjoying seeing your NZ adventure. But, it’s so nice to know we will see you on these weekly videos, too. You MUST have been working very hard before you left for NZ. Looking forward to following you over the next year. THANKS!!! So happy you found a sponsor, too. Happy travels❤
How great that you are sharing this trip with Brian. Robinson looks like a really great store. I like their philosophy. You will make great partners. Happy hiking.
That is so awesome! I have watched only one other vlog on the Te Araroa. Challenging and oh so jaw-dropping. I too have wanted to go to New Zealand for years. So excited to see you and Brian do this monumental trek! Yes--Robinsons! I have been in there on a visit to Victoria.
I love watching your videos. As a fellow Victorian I am always looking at the leaves and foliage and wondering trying to figure out when each video was filmed! looking forward to the New Zealand trip :D
No way!!! So excited for you both! I really want to go to NZ, high on my list too. I’ve followed a few thru hikers on the TA over the years so know we’re in for a treat! 👏😄
Love that you're doing the TA. It will be great to see the videos from that hike. We've really enjoyed your hiking videos so far, especially the PCT, which is a goal of mine in 2028 after I retire.
I am really excited to see the videos coming out of New Zealand, and I very much hope things going well on Te Araroa for both of you. Never been down there, but the videos I have seen from other hikers show a magical country and a challenging trail, with a lot of good community around it. Plus, I really liked the visit to Robinson's in this video and will check out their website.
That will a an amazing hike and I'm so looking forward to following you on UA-cam. I'll be in Victoria for my 60th birthday on February. I don't have time to thru hike but I will be doing a lot of day hikes in different parts of the country while I'm there.
What an amazing goal you choose to explore this year - and what A LOVELY STORE ROBINSON'S SEEMS TO BE!!! Wow! Great news in a double! I wish you & Bryan all the best & a lot of fun while in New Zealand! You're an inspiring couple and strong human beings both of you! Tēna kōrua!
That’s awesome!! I hiked the PCT last year and the TA is definitely on my bucket list! If you don’t mind me asking: What is your profession that you are able to do all these hikes?
Soooo cool to get a local store like Robinson’s to sponsor you. It’s a great store :)

So excited for you two!! I love Robinson's, being a Saanich girl myself... Can't wait to see how this hike goes, looks amazing.
I loved Aukland and Christchurch. Make sure you check out Quake City.

She is a physiotherapist I believe
