“To live will be an awfully big adventure.” – J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan

I’m a Pisces and I guess I have a pretty typical water sign outlook on life – I love the ocean and I love to explore the incredible world we live in, witnessing it in all of its natural beauty.

I was born in Sydney, Australia to a passionate, young Kiwi couple. We moved back to NZ when I was four. Then when I was 12 we lived in England for a year and travelled through Europe. I was hooked. 

I moved to the States for university, met Aleks and fell in love with him. I moved to NYC and immediately felt the confinement and claustrophobia of the concrete jungle. 

Jobs are important but so is balance and dreams and being EXCITED with your life! That’s why Aleks and I created 42 Adventures. No matter where you are you can find wonder every day.

I have travelled all my life.

Growing up my summers were filled with European and South American adventures. Throughout college, I bounced across the United States. Now I live and wander around New Zealand full time.

By day I am a product marketing manager for YouthFull, a digital platform to help first-time job seekers find their calling. By night I am a weekend warrior, planning and executing trips throughout this beautiful country.

The reason that I started 42 Adventures with Rose is that I want to help others find wonder through travel. There is so much to see, feel, and experience in New Zealand. It would be a shame to miss it.
