I am a keen traveller and I'm always up for an adventure. If it sounds stupid I will probably do it. I am an active person and with rowing taking up a lot of time I began to get itchy feet. I moved over to the UK to get around and see things which you simply can't from the other side of the world. New Zealand is a beautiful country. Open scenery, great walking tracks, island sanctuaries and great cities make it a place to brag about when travelling.
I have done a lot of rowing and it has taught me perseverance is absolutely key to adventuring. Sometimes you just want to give up along the way but if you get through that part then the reward at the end is so much sweeter.
There are some stunning places around the world and I can't get to all of them but I can try.
