A Rocky Return to Vanlife | Queenstown’s Best Hikes & Adventures
After spending the winter cosied up in a mountain home in Queenstown, New Zealand, it’s time to say goodbye and hello to full time vanlife again. This season has been full of transitions — packing up our lives, renovating our van, and sharing some beautiful moments with family after so long apart.
In this video, I’m taking you along as we soak up Queenstown’s best hikes, adventures, and hidden gems, all while navigating the highs and lows of moving back into our tiny home on wheels. From peaceful nights camped under the stars and unforgettable mountain views to the bittersweet goodbye with my mum, this chapter is one of reflection, hope, and a few unexpected challenges..
I hope this inspires you to embrace the beauty of change, find joy in the little moments, and explore everything this incredible corner of New Zealand has to offer.
With love,
