About Me

Hello!

​

My name is Kim and I recently married my soulmate and high school sweetheart, Dan! During our 10 years of 'dating' we took many trips involving camping and enjoying God's creation. Together we developed a love for nature and adventure!  This passion got us thinking about how amazing it would be to spend a year in a country where we could camp our entire way through it! Destination = New Zealand! Follow our web page to experience the land of the Kiwi's as we do!
