Just another pile of gear…or me hiding from the mosquitos 😆 Yes, the mosquito horror in Alaska is real this year (the worst I’ve experienced here in six extended visits haha). Swipe for the zoom in!

Episode 12. Check it out. It’s a goodie! @untamed_aotearoa_podcast

#lockdownromanceupdate 💕1 year & 3 months have passed since we moved in together for lockdown in NZ. We’re speeding towards the end of season finale where friends (and even the cast!) are left wondering what will come next.

Summer is in full swing in Alaska now! Yay for bikes and boats! 📷 Enjoy some greens of Saturday 🍃🌲

All the ladyfingers ❤️ From deep snow and ice to hot sunny days and wildflowers... summer arrived quickly!! But just around the corner, there were still chunks of snow on the river banks.

Packrafts, snowy peaks and a wee bush plane. Captain Amos showing off! Classic Alaskan scene 🏔

It melts fast. Only four days between my last post (fully frozen lake) and these pics. Dreamy gravel riding views!

Season ponderings, inspired by @sarahmhistand who lives in Alaska year-round☀️

Old friends, new friends and all the colours of the rainbow bobbing downstream 🌈 First casual roadside float of the season.

Someone just sent me this nice wee memory 🙂 Stone Hut, Two Thumb Range, March 7th 2020 - back when life felt so easy and free and none of us really knew what was coming!

A cute wee hut and cruisy overnighter about 25min drive from our door. Snowbird Hut, Hatcher Pass. So good to get out on an overnight trip...the first in almost two months for me!

Some little scenes from the past two weeks here in Alaska. Mostly visiting people and doing short activities by home.

Omg, progress in Te Anau! Not sure how it was ever a good idea to be in Alaska during a pandemic while the house build happens in NZ 😂 But hey, there’s progress on the ground and it’s fun getting update pics from the builder!

A wee snippet from five years ago - full clip at link in bio🏔 It feels like yesterday and forever ago at the same time. Isn’t life strange like that?

How magical is this spot at my friends place? The joy of a nice meal on a sunny evening with friends ❤️

The logistics of settling into Alaska for the summer continue!

Let’s start talking more about fertility within the outdoor community. Challenges in this area are SUPER common but rarely talked about in our wider social circles, let alone in more public settings.

Back in Alaska, where the mountains stretch out forever and ever! And @tallleggyblonde is only home 13 months late 😁

First ever desert bike ride today. Pretty sweet! A great contrast to my fave beech forest trails back home.

Desert vibes heading from Colorado into Utah 🌵 ☀️
