  • Anurag Sharma moved to New Zealand in 2002 but didn't start tramping until moving to Wellington 16 years later. Since then, he has done all the Great Walks and recently set his sights on Te Araroa. Although it started as something he would do "one day," losing his mother was a catalyst to set a date for Te Araroa and start preparing. Anurag talks about self-discovery and the importance of trying new things and stepping outside your comfort zone, particularly as a South Asian immigrant challenging cultural norms. Despite setbacks, including an ankle cyst, surgery and changing his start date, he is excited to start walking and raise money for 10 different charities.

  • Renee Taylor describes herself as a "city girl" - that was until she discovered freediving at 30. Since then, she lives on the coast where she has created a community to help other wāhine connect to the ocean. Renee shares about her first experience spearing a kingfish, saying you can never have those "first" moments again. She also talks about the dangers of the oceans and her near-miss with a boat. Renee says there are so many benefits that come from learning to freedive - to calm your mind, practice breathwork and slow down. While freediving has increased in popularity recently, Renee emphasises the importance of safety and learning to do things the right way. Through her kaupapa Salt Aotearoa, she runs courses to help other learn the skills and breathwork needed for freediving and spearfishing.

  • Nick Allen has had a love for adventure since he did the Pinnacles Hut at age 7. Nick has fibromyalgia and FND, neurological disorders that make it incredibly challenging to pursue his outdoor passions. He shares about a recent winter adventure doing the Avalance-Bealey Traverse in Arthur's Pass and describes it as "walking a knife's edge." Nick was grateful that this adventure didn't lead to a relapse and hopes to continue to get outdoors. His advice to make the outdoors more inclusive is to look out for everyone in a group, communicate well and don't fixate on the goal. Nick runs a charity called Mastering Mountains that helps others with MS and FND get rehab and smash their outdoor goals.
