Walk The Track With Me

A Milford Track highlight: The view over Clinton Valley from Mackinnon Pass (Photo my own) A while ago I wrote about walking the Milford Track solo. It's one of New Zealand's Great Walks, and one of the most famous walks in the world. Today and for the next three Fridays it's being published on Stuff.co.nz:…

The Milford Chronicles: Chapter One

I walked the world-famous Milford Track last week. It was one of the best adventures I have ever had. Maybe it was because the last year has been one of tremendous personal upheaval, and this trip felt like a significant "marker" on a difficult emotional journey.

Dip. Edit. goes bush

I have finished my year-long Proofreading and Editing Course and I am now (as long as I didn't bum out in my final assignment) actually qualified to point out grammatical and spelling mistakes to people.
