looking for a partner for January-February

  • Hi all, My name is Marina and I'm 25 years old. I'm currently in Australia but planning to move on to New-Zealand in the beginning of January. My main objective is tramping around as much as possible, starting at the northern island and then moving on to the southern. I'm looking for a partner with a similar mindset around my age. Since I don't have much experience (only done two day tracks so far), someone who also knows what he's/she's doing is preferable. :) I have booked the huts at the Milford track starting 3th of February so if there's anybody who's planning to be there on that time and looking for a partner, let me know! Cheers, Marina
  • Hi Marina, I'm planning on doing the Heaphy Track (Nelson area) beginning March 1. I haven't decided on whether I do 4 days, 3 nights or 5 days, 4 nights yet. Maybe the longer, for fun! Would you be interested? I'd be booking next week, so that I can be sure of getting space. About me: 29, born Wellington, live Christchurch, tramped since young. VERY slow up hills, but get there in the end! Sarah
  • Hey Marina I am tramping New Zealand for one year and I got some experience. At the moment I am tramping alone but I hope to change that soon! I havent planned much about the North Island but really much down on the South Island. Especially unknown and not that crowded tracks. I leave u my number so if u arrive down here just text me. 0220752262
  • Hi Marina, I've just arrived in Christchurch and haven't planned anything yet, but I intend to stay in New Zealand for 15 months and hike the South Island through the first summer and then North Island through the 2nd summer. I just got through riding my bicycle in Indonesia for 2 months and Tasmania and decided to store my bicycle and hitchhike instead. Travel photos!! http://www.thomashuang.net I've only started doing multiday hikes in Tasmania, did a 4, 2, 2, and 4 day hikes. I would say I'm average speed, not much for rushing. I eat a lot though, and I haven't been able to carry more than 5-6 days of food because of the weight, but I'm planning on trying hiking poles if it will save my knees from packing more food. I'm resupplying myself at the moment and will be around Christchurch for a couple weeks. My number 0220767248
  • Oh, and I'm doing 360 degree photography along the way. Haven't had much time to process Asia and Tasmania, but here's Taiwan on a bicycle http://www.thomashuang.net/test/list/list.html and Mt Graham/Wineglass Bay in Tasmania http://www.thomashuang.net/test/mt_graham.html
  • Hi Marina, I'm in Nelson, check out my profile. Cheers Justin
