Abigail Hannah on falling back in love with Aotearoa while healing from depression, and the issue with travel influencers

from Kiwi Yarns · host rova | Brodie Kane Media

Today’s guest has a job that, on the surface, many would describe as a "dream job" and say, "oh, how lucky!" While there’s no denying that the titles “travel blogger,” “travel writer,” and “travel photographer” have a certain allure, Abigail Hannah’s backstory is truly fascinating. Born in Aotearoa, Abigail spent most of her childhood growing up in rural India, a place that felt like home. She later returned to New Zealand alone to begin her studies, and was diagnosed with depression some months afterwards. Abigail shares her experience of navigating one of the darkest periods of her life, and how falling in love with New Zealand - by reconnecting with nature - changed the course of her life.
