Elina is a filmmaker, adventure guide, and thru-hiker from Auckland, New Zealand, also known by the trail name “Tip Tap”. In 2019, she thru-hiked the Pacific Crest Trail and documented her experience on YouTube, then followed that adventure up by hiking the length of New Zealand via the Te Araroa Trail, and recently released a video of her and her brothers hiking the famous Japanese pilgrimage route, Kumano Kodo. At the time of this recording, Elina has over 67,000 subscribers on YouTube, and she’s received much praise for her unique, honest, calm, and almost dream-like style that can be found in her videos.
