Active Adventures Guide in New Zealand

What's your favorite travel destination? 

Italy.

What's your favorite adventure activity and why? 

I love being out on the water, so I would have to say kayaking.

What has been your most inspiring adventure experience? 

Hiking Longs Peak, the tallest mountain in Rocky Mountain National Park. I climbed it with my brother on July 4th and it was definitely the toughest hike I've done, but so worth it!

What's your favorite Active Adventures trip, and why? 

So far, I like the Classic South Island Adventure, because of the variety of activities, especially jetboating!

When did you first get the travel bug? 

My family moved overseas when I was 5 years old, so I really have never known anything but the travel bug for my whole life. 

Why did you want to become a guide with Active Adventures?

I wanted to become a guide with Active Adventures for the opportunity to work in different locations with the same company. I really like the group sizes with Active Adventures and the variety in our trips as well.

What destination would you most like to travel to (that you haven't been to yet)?

So many! Australia, Iceland, and Scandinavia are all high on my list.

Do you have any favorite hobbies or special talents you could tell us about?

I play a lot of sports, especially disc golf and pickleball.
