136: Pushed to her Limits on the Hump Ridge Track and Slow, Mindful Travel with Helen Griffiths

from Aotearoa Adventures: The New Zealand Travel Podcast

The Hump Ridge Track is New Zealand's newest Great Walk, and Helen Griffiths was pushed to her limits as she experiences the best and worst day of her life on the trail. Helen is a photographer, originally from the UK, and found herself stuck in New Zealand during the Covid pandemic. She has a love for slow travel and exploring deeply, rather than quickly. Helen shares about her experience on the Hump Ridge track, where she was challenged immensely, while also having the most incredible experience and memories. She shares her thoughts and advice around how to be mindful when you travel and the importance of connecting with the land around you.Discover the best of New Zealand with my NZ Map & Guide, featuring 100+ incredible locations for your next adventure.
