159: Exploring Northland and Living on the Road in a 12-Ton Unimog with Kyla and Louis

from Aotearoa Adventures: The New Zealand Travel Podcast

Kyla and Louis are the kiwi couple behind Out the Gate Off Road and live full-time in their 1988 Mercedes Unimog. With a background in carpentry and a shared love of adventure, they designed and built every detail of their home-on-wheels themselves. They share favourite Northland locations including Ahipara, Karikari Peninsula and Whangarei Heads, tips for travelling with dogs, and how they manage life, work and CrossFit training on the road. Next, Kyla and Louis want to visit the South Island, then Australia, and one day a road trip across the Americas. Discover the best of New Zealand with my NZ Map & Guide, featuring 100+ incredible locations for your next adventure.
