I launched Adventure Girls in my mid 20’s and over 15 years took 1,000’s of women on adventures across NZ. Then at 40 I said ‘hell yes’ to a new adventure, sold ⅔ of everything I owned, built out the back of my 4WD ‘Hank the Tank’, left Auckland and traveled NZ for 5 months exploring. Now I live in the South Island of NZ, have added Stan the Van, a Ford Transit Van I’ve semi converted into the mix, and Adventure Girls evolved into the She Adventures Podcast. My hope is this podcast, the stories and conversations remind you that you only live once and it’s never too late to get out there.  That they spark something within you and inspire you to get outdoors, to say hell yes to adventure and to fill your happy tank with the things that matter, because life is better when you do.
