a awesome ride ,New Zealand is a magical place.thanks for taking me along.was very interesting and special.❤ Take care😊
I've been waiting for this video ever since I saw you were going to ride in New Zealand, and it didn't disappoint! I'd guessed that your latest profile photo was taken at the Eglinton Valley Viewpoint and I guessed right. Great camera work and editing as always, and I'm so glad you had the right weather. Thanks again for taking us along!
Thankyou Runa for showcasing my country 'New Zealand' so well 👌and your ride just spoke for itself 👍✌
My pleasure, I enjoyed it so much! What a fantastic country you call home 😍
Stolt på dine veiene! Og imponert!!! Moro å se at ei jente fra lille Norge lykkes sånn som du har gjort med det du driver med 🙂Stå på!!
I've just watched Henry Cole's 2 episodes of a m/c tour of NZ. Enthusiastic is to understate it, but he didn't go to Milford Sound, but you have! I'm so envious. I've subscribed so that I can catch up with the other parts you've been to and are going to go to. A staggeringly beautiful country. Enjoy.
A lovely and beautiful video, thank you for sharing!
Thank you for following along! 😊
Amazing, simply amazing! Thank you Runa! 👍👍
Your camping spots are amazing Runa 👌👏🤩
Big hug from your motorcycling friends from Brazil 🇧🇷🙂👊
Greetings to Brazil 👋 😃 New Zealand was so rich on beautiful camp sites! And these ones were cheap as well, with their very basic standards. Double win 😁
Hi Runa 👋, Milford sound is stunning and also the whole ride was, love the bird taking food off your hand, filmed 14 days after my birthday, I don't think I have said before (please forgive me) your commentary on the videos is so good and I find soothing, also your filming is like the scenery stunning 👏. Thanks for another great video, Take care of yourself, My best wishes to you from Roy in England 👍😊.
Good day, England 😃 That's kind of you. It's a work in progress, and I love trying to find new ways to make my content a liiiiittle bit better each time. Thank you Roy, and I hope you have a great day!
Sure enjoyed this episode! Beautiful scenery, great music. Cute little bird. Yup BIG 👍
👋🌹 from the Netherlands 🇳🇱, TW.
Thank you Tony 😃 It was such a great day, surrounded by epic landscapes!
Thanks,I always enjoy your adventures!!!😊
Thank you! I always enjoy sharing them with you guys 😃
Nice to see the actual date posted.
Thanks for noticing! I think many do not realize how much of a delay there is to a lot of content posted out there.
Hi Runa,
Thanks for another terrific episode. Your filming was once again spot on.
Milford Sound is a beautiful place, and those mountains... absolutely breathtaking!
Safe travels. See you in the next one. ❤
Thank you very much! Glad you liked it, and happy to have you following along 😃 Have a great day over there!
Amazing episode with great drone footage Runa. Like the cold mornings too instead of the hot ones!!!!! 👌🏼🤩
Thank you, Eric! 😄 It was an epic day!
Beautiful every where you look thank you for sharing can’t wait until the next adventure
It really was! I enjoyed it a lot. Thank you for following along, appreciate it! 😊
Enjoy riding and be safety.
Runa, if it is in your plans, seriously look to the Catlins - another amazing and different part of the South
Insane views! I just love the mountains and yes that looks a lot like some places in Norway,
It was epic! Same kinda mountains like Norway, but with then you look around and there is bush and palm trees and all sorts of exotic vegetation at the side of the road - loved it
Nice to see you Runa❤❤❤
Hope you enjoyed the episode 🥰
Sometimes when I watch your videos,I find them so calming i actually fall asleep after them 😊
I wonder if anyone else experiences this.
What a lovely ride this episode was,Thank you Runa ✨🧚♂️
Oh wow, how nice! Thank you Geoff 😊 Hope you had a good nap, dreaming of fjords and mountains 😃
New Zealand is where mother nature put all of her leftovers & spare bits. A desert, some fjords, forests, etc.
Stunning scenery, and nice to bump into some other riders!
Well said! There sure is a little bit of everything here 😊
A desert ???😢
@@dazfromnz01 Yup. Middle of the North Island.
@@skyd8726 you obviously haven’t been there 😂😂
@@dazfromnz01 who knows... perhaps I have. There's even an Oasis.🙂
An archer, a nurse and an adventurer. A very attractive rider. Been following your story for a while . Love your adventure...something that I have been dreaming to do. Just that I am not ready to leave my job yet. Wish you well in every ride you take.
Thank you for the kind words! I hope you follow your dream and go for it, when you're ready 😊 Good luck and stay safe!
What an amazing place Runa, its somewhere I could see myself living ( in another life). I love your relaxed delivery and it doesn't detract from the overall experience that there is no audio during travelling, really. Oldtimer (biker of 50 years) Englishman wishing i was young again.
Me too! Such a lovely country that seems to have it all. And thank you very much, I'm glad you liked it. I hope I can call myself a biker of 50 years in the future, that is impressive! 😊
Thanks for sharing, very pretty landscapes, have a good trip Runa, we're waiting for the rest ✌✌
Thank you! It was a fantastic trip and I'm so glad to have you guys following along 😃 Have a great wednesday!
Awesome footage!
A nice campsite, and a fantastic ride.
Indeed! This day was packed with great things 😃
Runa, yes, it reminds me of Noway for sure. Thanks for a lovely episode, great photography, stunning scenery, well picked appropriate music, it's obvious how much effort you put into this. Keep up the great work. ❤ 😊 happy travels. Nice to have you back.
Thank you very much! 😊 Glad you liked it. You would love this ride, seeing you enjoyed Norway so much this summer 😃 Have a great Monday over there!
My mum was a kiwi ,I've been to NZ ,so many times ,I'm glad you are having a wonderful time.
How nice! I enjoyed it a lot, and definitely want to go back sometime
Runa thanks for sharing
Thanks for following along!
Thank you for sharing the beautiful videos with the viewers, you are an inspiration.
Thank you for following along on my adventures, really appreciate it! 😊
He might have been on a Norden, but it was pretty easy to spot a GS rider, standing up to ride through a parking lot LOL😆 Amazing scenery in this episode, I'm looking forward to what's next! Thanks for bringing us along😊
I have only just found your channel, amazing content, thank you from Wiltshire in the UK 👍
Welcome aboard! Glad to have you 😊
Great vid Runa. Really capturing the stunning landscapes of the deep south.
Thank you, Glenn! 😊 It was such a nice ride, and I definitely get the hype about this area! Loved it!
Your narration was good, these things happen, and in the middle of nowhere it's difficult to sort. But to be honest the beautiful scenery spoke for itself. Thank you.
Thank you, Stephen! Glad you liked it 😊 And yes that's true. It turned out to be a nice challenge to change things up a bit with how I filmed through the day, too!
Hi Runa, The memories of my past trips to NZ keep flooding back for me with every video. Now you know why I had to go back 5 times (so far) and drive the Milford Sound Rd a second time. Just a stunning place isn't it. Did you manage to do the Fjord boat cruise? I wondered if safe bike/gear storage would still be unavailable ? I did the boat cruise out to where the fjord meets the ocean and back again in two different years. Passing all the glorious waterfalls, it was wonderful. Homer Tunnel takes you by surprise when you first enter doesn't it, because it is so dark & dripping water & immediately decends steeply downhill. I wiped away a couple of tears watching this, loved this video Runa, Thanks so much for sharing again, made my day. All the best from Australia.🤩🤩🤗🦘🦘
I totally understand why you have visited so many times, I already feel like going back! Such a stunning country, with incredible variety. I did not do a boat cruise this time - I did not plan well enough 😅
Thank you for your always kind comments and for following along on my adventures 🥰 Hope you have a great day!
@@OffSheGoesADV This worked for me Runa, pre-booked the boat cruise ticket on-line (picked one of the twin hulled catamaran boat cruises), stayed in small motel in Te Anau day before (explored the excellent DOCS visitor centre on the Te Anau Lake foreshore), left early next morning for Milford Sound, arriving at the Fjord before 10:00am, only stopping at a few spots. Found a car/bike park, took the free bus (or walk 10mins) around to the boat wharf, enjoyed the wonderful boat cruise (1hr 45min approx). Then took my time on the drive/ride out of Milford, stopping at all the beautiful places for photos etc that I drove past on the way down. I am wondering if you visited Dunedin and the stunning Larnach Castle, but dont tell me, I'll just wait and see where your adventure took you next. 😁😆🤩🤩 All the Best Runa. 🦘🦘
I was there 8 years ago!! (time flies..) Milford Sound is an amazing place! enjoy!
I am sure it has not changed a lot since then! Have a great day over there 😊
I have been watching a few foreigners doing vlogs on NZ travels, this is my first watching a solo traveller, it was the motorbike to Milford that did it. I have a good Norwegian lady friend living in the south of NZ, so that was another reason. Really cool video, keep up the great work.
That's nice to hear! Loved traveling through New Zealand - the variety in the landscape really took me by surprise. Kept things interesting every day! Thank you and hope you have a great day over there 😊
Another excellent vid!
Thank you! Glad you liked it 😊
Great video. Lovely place
Thank you! It was definitely a very memorable day in New Zealand! 😊
Great video. I have driven that road many times for work and for pleasure. But it must have been so much fun on a bike. I have sailed the Sogne Fiord in Norway. Very similar scenery. Not so many tourists there. Thankfully.
Oh wow that must have been a nice sailing! Seeing the landscape from the seaside is so different. It sure was a fun road to drive - NZ road standards are good!
Thanks for showing us the lovely NZ scenery, great campsites too eh?
Just to say that your OSG logo is brilliant, congrats to whoever designed it👍🏼
Thanks for watching, glad you liked it! NZ is fantastic in so many ways - all the DOC campsites are definitely one of them 😃
Beautiful episode Runa❤👍👍👍
Thank you! It was a beautiful day! 😊
Nice to see "typical Milford weather" 😄
It suits the landscape very much 😃
One of the nice things about fiordland national park is that you can drink the river water as it is clean and cold
Indeed! I did not have a sip though, as I didn't know at the time 😊
Good morning. You stay in Newzeland, so nice.
15:11 XD still adorable and relaxing video
Hahah, big yawn there 😂 Thank you!
absolutely stunning video wow u had one sweet time girl look forward to some new videos
Thank you, Jeff! I had a great time indeed 😃
Lived here in new Zealand and never been there great video
Thank you 😊
Glad you liked it! Hope you make it out there yourself sometime - it was a stunning ride 😊
I have to agree with the other comments about just how fantastic riding these roads are. All I can say is, if anyone has not done so, then they must ride the " Mainland " roads as they really are very good and the experience is very uplifting!
Happy Runa is happy. :)
And I was very happy with this day 😃
Your videos are really beautiful, incredible landscapes, you really make us dream 🤗😁😍 And if I keep following you, I will end up interested by a norden 😅😅 Thanks for your sharing Runa 🥰👌✌️
Haha 😂 I'm sure you would enjoy the Norden as much as I do! Thank you for your kind words Raymond, and I hope you have a good day! 😊
Very good 👍 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hello Runa! 🌸🤗🌸 as always you deliver beautiful and interesting footage, with or without the helmet mike 😂
Best wishes
Kenny & Michelle
🤗🤗❤🤗🤗
Haha thank you, Kenny & Michelle 🥰 It turned out to be a nice challenge to not rely on the helmet mic for commenting, both while filming and now while editing!
@@OffSheGoesADV 🤗❤
Like Norway but very different in February😉Shame about the audio but the scenery spoke for itself, absolutely spectacular👌Another awesome video Runa👎
Oh yes 😂 Norway in February is not very biker-friendly, although I see more and more people enjoy winter riding! Thank you, and hope you have a good day 😊
I wouldn't say better. But different. They both have their charms.
I agree 😊 I have enjoyed a lot traveling through both countries
Otroligt vackert och Norge likt ❤❤❤
Enig! 😍
It really is amazing in those mountains-the best I have ever seen, even in my own life. You know, in your face shot, riding with your helmet and camera attached, you look like "The Creature From The Black Lagoon" from the old sci-fi flick. Roaming around those parts a hundred years ago might not have been safe to look like that.
Hahaha I had to google it, and I do see some resemblance 😂
@@OffSheGoesADV I know. Also, at the time I made that comment I wasn’t even thinking about your experience with the opposum but your experience of that screeching kind of crept in on me and I found myself thinking about it. That must have been surreal. Maybe that’s why I had the association of “the creature from the black lagoon?”
Of course we enjoy whatever you put out video wise and what is sound, if all we hear is your voice telling us "Its Friking Awesome Here Guys." We see it and you and others have shown it. So onward and upward , destinations to come and be marvelled at.
Cheers Runa - how is work now that your back at the hospital in Stavanger?
Haha, true! Thank you, Atholl 😊 It actually turned out to be a nice challenge, to not rely on the helmet audio!
Actually, I don't work as a nurse anymore. I just realized, I don't think I ever shared any of that on youtube, except for in my presentation at ABR 😳 I actually quit my full time job last year, and now I do content creating full time, both for myself and a couple clients! My goal is to do ONLY this, but I'm in no rush 😊
Absolutely loved this episode. Thank you. Geoff from Fremantle Western Australia 🇦🇺 🦘
Thank you, Geoff! And greetings to Australia 😃
Great scenery, shame it was not a bit warmer for you.
It was quite alright, actually! The temperature picked up a bit through the day 😊 One more way NZ is very similar to Norway - you can have all kinds of weather and temperatures through a day, especially near the coast
STUNNINGLY GORGEOUS COUNTRY ❤ 🏞️🏍️ 🇩🇰🇳🇿🎌
It really is!
❤❤❤
Quite spectacular views, thanks for taking us with you. But I think I stick to Norway -;)
It was fine====no worries---enjoy! :-)
on days like this - you must love to travell on bike ?! I am envious
I love traveling on bike most days, and a little bit extra on days like these with such stunning views 😃
🙂
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
❤❤❤
You look like Blake Lively .. !!
I mean , a lot .... !!
Cheers from Greece !!
Oh wow, I'll take that as a compliment 😃 Greetings to Greece!
ПРИРОДА ОЧЕНЬ КРАСИВАЯ
Ok 👏🎉👍🌹
Nice video, be carefull - you shouldnt be keeping helmet on ground - the bugs may get inside helmet.. love from India
Did you do the boat trip out into ge fiord? If not then you missed the best part of Milford Sound! Actually, the overnight boat trip at Doubtful Sound (out from TeAnau) is better!
No, I did not do the boat trip! I did not plan well enough as I was there pretty late in the day and the tunnel closed off in the evening. Still had a fantastic experience riding there😊 And hey, just one more reason to go back some day!
Fern der Heimat....echt schön.. ähnlich wie in Norwegen....
It really was, in the best ways 😊
👍👍👍
😃 Have a good Wednesday over there!
@@OffSheGoesADV hey Runa you have a good Wednesday too 😊
Finally! No stupid black (sound recorder) box on the leftside😜 Better video quality👍🏻 I know...there is no commentary audio, maybe you can find another way and install it further away from the camera on a different position👍🏻
Hahaha I know right! At least there was one positive thing about it 😂 I have found better options for audio recording now, not having to use the receiver 👍
Olá tenha um bom dia,e boas aventuras!
Thank you, and same to you!
hello @runagrydeland i miss you much after long time, i'm offline ao how re you? be so kind your journey☺
Hey there! I am all well, and I hope the same for you 😊
❤😍👌👏
Hey there. Possums sound a lot more horrible than that. That sounded like a Kiwi to me.
It was the only possum sound I found that I could use without copyright issues in my video 😊 Totally forgot to record any sound on my own that night
We live in a nagic country don't we hope you are enjoying New Zealand have you done the North Island yet ?
You sure do! Loved it. I did a couple days on the North Island in the beginning of my trip, and will also end my trip there 😊
@@OffSheGoesADV when are you planning to be back up on the north island I only ask because the group I ride with here in Taranaki are doing a Taranaki Tunnel Ride at labour weekend think it is on the 27th of October there are something like 17 tunnels we ride out to see ....if you are passing back through Taranaki we would love to show you our back yard it had a beautiful Mountain right in our back yard which you can ride up to it cheers and keep putting out those vids I've only just found you and I'm enjoying your travels here in New Zealand Gary
❤❤❤🇹🇷
Did you grow up with Brothers?! ;-)
Haha, no only sisters!
Brilliant
God created Norway first and thought he would reuse the template across the world.
I' e never hear that said before - that's a cool way to view it 😃
Please select Turkish language option
انتي فتاة جميله جدا
That's very kind of you!
Sadly Milford Sound is not even the best sound to visit… you need to go to Doubtful Sound which makes Milford look ordinary… seriously you have to do the sail cruise in Doubtful Sound… you won’t regret it…
Norway is much better and interesting 😊
It's all beautiful in it's own way - NZ has a lot that Norway don't have, like volcanoes 😃 Pretty cool! I am a huge sucker for fjords and mountains though

not better than Norway. No even close.
They are beautiful in each their way!
아름다운 여인과 아름다운 뉴질랜드..
한폭의 그림 같군요.. 👍

Really amazing landscape, so beautiful. No surprise that the most beautiful part of NZ is the one looking most like Norway 🫶🇳🇴. You have a so good voice for voiceover so it’s not a big problem. Off course it’s better to have working helmet audio, that gives you the opportunity to choose between helmet audio and voiceover. 🫶🇳🇴
The video doesn't even do it justice! It was so nice, you would love it, Jonas! 😊 So annoying with the mic issues but shit happens - it is what it is and we'll make the most of it 😃
@@OffSheGoesADV I think I know what you mean by the video doesn’t do it right. When I visited Norway in 2022, I almost started to cry when I reached Jotunheimen, it was indescribable. To see that beautiful scenery in every direction is overwhelming I felt so small and in the same time “unbeatable”. For a moment it was hard to take in all impressions at the same time, some type off overload of emotions. I can imagine that I would feel the same if I visited NZ as well.
That type of feeling is impossible to capture in a camera.
Exactly! It just hits you right in the face sometimes, the overwhelming beauty of it all. In this moments I often end up just standing or sitting still for a while to soak it all up. It's those moments and memories that will stick to our brains when we get old, I hope! 😊
Very good 👍 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!😊
