COLVILLE HEIGHTS AND WHITIANGA NIGHTS

Posted on 2024/01/312024/02/02Author JakeENGPosted in TravelLeave a Reply

After Christmas, it was time to get back to work! This time, my hosts had me
cutting some weatherboards to clad an exterior cabinet that houses their hot
water tank and electrical controls for it. My hosts live off of solar and wind
power, and built their own systems to manage the generation and distribution…

CHRISTMAS IN COROMANDEL

Posted on 2024/01/26Author JakeENGPosted in TravelLeave a Reply

On my way out of Auckland, I stopped at a park for a trail run! Over a week of
having between 1 and many beers each day had taken its toll, and I needed to get
active. The park was really nice, and it was my first taste of New Zealand
wilderness. It was so…

NOW ARRIVING AT AKL

Posted on 2024/01/252024/01/27Author JakeENGPosted in TravelLeave a Reply

It was a really long night in Nadi, Fiji after saying goodbye to Alexa, as my
hostel-mate and I were appalled to find several bed bugs in our beds. It was a
long, sleepless night with a very early drive back to the airport. But, my
excitement grew slowly over the flight, and holy cow…

FIJI GOLD: A COLD BEER OR NEW BESTIES?

Posted on 2023/12/12Author JakeENGPosted in TravelLeave a Reply

Long flights suck, and I slept especially poorly on this one. However, I did get
to watch Blackberry (hilarious, I highly recommend it) and I learned from
another passenger that I can rent all the tramping gear I need for the great
walks in NZ. Landing in Fiji and getting a bus ride to my…

(W)INTERLUDE

Posted on 2023/12/062023/12/12Author JakeENGPosted in UncategorizedLeave a Reply

After one last dinner with my bestie and triple checking my bag (kidding, just
barely managed to fit everything in!) and I am off! I hugged my dad at the train
station and eventually climbed aboard one of VIA’s newest trains and cozied up
for the ride. When the car lurched forward, that’s when I…

IN PREPARATION

Posted on 2023/12/012023/12/01Author JakeENGPosted in TravelLeave a Reply

Getting ready for the biggest change you’ve ever experienced is very hard. I
thought that going to university, or moving cities for work would be tough, but
this has been a few of the most challenging weeks of my life, and I am so lucky
that everything has worked out as well as it has.…

INDIAN LOOKOUT TRAIL – OR, HOW I LEARNED TO LOVE THE SUCK

Posted on 2023/05/012023/12/01Author JakeENGPosted in Hikes1 Reply

This was one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited. The wide open
expanse, untouched nature, pure isolation, and sheer magnificence of this land
creeps its way into your soul while circumnavigating a lonely fjord in
Newfoundland’s Long Range Mountains.  WARNING: This trail is not for the
unprepared. It was extremely demanding, and…

GR.11 – DAY 3

Posted on 2022/08/112024/01/28Author JakeENGPosted in HikesLeave a Reply

This may have been my most challenging day of the whole hike. It started off so
pleasant as I walked a pair of Germans I had met the night before, but right off
the bat we took a wrong turn. As I regaled the woes and story of my life, they
kept second guessing the…

GR.11 – DAY 2

Posted on 2022/08/102024/01/28Author JakeENGPosted in HikesLeave a Reply

If I thought Day 1 was a scorcher, I had no idea what was coming up next. I woke
up at what I thought was an early time, packed my things and headed down the
backside of the hill I slept on top of, listening to Coffee Break Spanish and
becoming utterly lost by episode…

GR.11 – DAY 1

Posted on 2022/08/092024/01/28Author JakeENGPosted in HikesLeave a Reply

My write-up of Day 1 is very long because it felt like so much happened! If I
can remember the details from the rest of the days, I will try to be as
descriptive as this one Today’s Lesson: always avoid walking when you can. I
made a big mistake on my first day,…
