Revisited some old photos today from the very first big road trip I did in Sunny ☀️ , if you’ve been following me for a while you might remember the challenge I set out for myself 5 years ago. I decided to do a plastic free road trip, which then turned into being plastic free for over a year. I never really shared much about this, or life after the road trip, so thought it was about time I did.

Been thinking a lot recently about doing this again, going plastic free I mean, but not to the full extent as I’m not in a position where this is possible anymore. This used to be so important to me and it still is, but I’ve definitely become slack over the years.

My plan was always to write a blog about this experience, and I wrote about it for other brands blogs, but never for myself in full detail, so I’m gonna do just that! Posting about it on the internet feels like some sort of accountability in a very backwards way, so stay tuned for a blog about this, even if it is almost 5 years later 😅

Very last minute decision to go camping over the weekend and I’m so glad we did. I love spring so much, and all its chaotic weather, two days before this it was snowing on the mountains and we had the fire on at home, and then the weekend looked like this. We also had quite possibly the best camp dinner that we’ve ever had that night, I’m convinced food tastes so much better when it’s cooked on the fire. 10/10 weekend, I can’t wait for more of this.

She’ll be right 2026.

A few years ago I got a job at Treble Cone and it was my first time setting foot on a ski field. I learnt to snowboard then quickly realised I really liked shooting on snow too, and the past few years I’ve been trying to improve my snowboarding, and get into shooting snow sports. I only wish I knew about this event sooner as up until last year I didn’t know a community like this existed. So many talented and inspiring women who are snowboarders, skiers, filmers and photographers all in one place, it’s so damn cool to see.

I still feel a bit out of my depth with snow sports, but I’m so grateful for events like this that welcome you into the industry with open arms and faces full of glitter.

Thank you so much She’ll Be Right , Cayley Alger you’re an absolute legend. I can’t wait for next year.

I’m not usually one to jump on trends but I really like this one. I feel like my feed naturally changes colours throughout the season, and I love seeing the way different colours compliment together. A good reminder to add more colour into my life. I find that I tend to gravitate towards blues and yellows, but seeing my photos in grids like this, I can’t figure out which is my favourite!

Stealing the dogs for an afternoon down at the river.

I cannot wait for more days like this. I feel like I always get so thrown off with the hours of the day changing, it’s like my body clock hasn’t quite worked out what’s happened and why it’s still light at 8pm but I’m so here for it. And as sad as I am about the winter season almost being over, heck am I excited for long summer nights and more adventures like this.

Another weekend with Depth Of Field 🖤

This event is so special, thank you so much Rach and Hales for bringing all these incredible women together; The speakers and the teachers and the other creatives in the industry, what a pleasure to know and learn from you all.

A quick trip to the coast in the little red lux back. Winter here is something special.

Last week the sun came out and spring was well and truly doing its thing.

Photos 1-5: first split board of the season with HP to warm up the legs. Managed to time this on a bluebird powder day, and had many comments from people pointing out that the mountain does in-fact have a chair lift, who knew.

The rest of the photos are from the Green Steam on Saturday.

I had said at the beginning of the season that I would like to do the Green Steam, an event where you get to and from the mountain under your own steam, however life got busy and winter disappeared quicker than I would have liked and I didn’t have any opportunity to actually train or prepare for this. Not sure what got into me last week, maybe it was the return of the sun and windless days, but I decided quite last minute to participate, despite not feeling very fit, and convinced Andrew to join.

It was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. The access road almost killed me and the weight of my bike and split board was ridiculous, but by some miracle we did it. 66kms, over 2000m of elevation gain, biking from town to base, split boards in tow, then touring up to the top of the chair lift and all the way back to town. Well and truly feeling like one of those “people of Wānaka” people (Cc Victoria Sheridan video). It was equally epic as much as it was hard, and so so cool seeing so many others out there doing it.

So stoked to be a part of this awesome event, and I’m really proud of myself for giving it a go, a good reminder that we are capable of so much more than we realise. Couldn’t have done it without Andrew Clark cheering me on and handfuls of haribos to keep the energy levels up.

Bring on 2027 (maybe 😅).
