New Zealand, Te Araroa, NZ, Oceania, Hiking, Tramping
Hiking Te Araroa (The Long Pathway) in New Zealand was one of the most physically and mentally challenging adventures that I've undertaken so far. It was an extremely rewarding experience, but the mental struggle to complete this thru hike took a big toll on me.
My advice to anyone wanting to hike this trail is: Only do it if you want to challenge yourself to the extremes and don't forget that to complete the entire trail, you'll be walking almost a 1000km along roads with next to no road shoulder to stay awayy fromn the dangerous traffic. The Southern Island is the most rewarding part of the trail, but it doesn't even come close to the beauty that can be experienced on the Pacific Crest Trail on the US Westcoast.
