A chance encounter with a couple of cyclists at a Kaiaua cafe set in motion a plan to ride the length of the country. The idea took on a sense of romance and I was hooked.

It is a long ride, over 3000 km across two land masses on tracks, trails, roads, both busy and quiet, and wilderness areas.

I questioned myself – besides the romance and physical challenge of it, why this journey and why now?....

Listening is something we all do, all the time, wherever we are. At home we listen to our partners, our families, our friends. At work, we listen to our staff, our colleagues, our bosses. But how well do we listen to them? How well do we really hear what they're trying to tell us? Most listening specialists (and many of the people we listen to) would say "Not too well!"...

Kia ora! I’m Emma Evangeline Gustafson, a full-time artist and illustrator based in Whitianga. I primarily paint nature-based scenes and local landscapes. I’m very grateful the universe brought me to the Coromandel. I love exploring the peninsula and painting those special spots I find off the beaten track. Through my painting, I get to showcase the magic of this place – the pristine beaches, bush, birdlife, creeks, crystals and stunning rock formations.
