Te Araroa Nov. 2015 anyone ?

Hello everybody, I just got to NZ with a year working holiday visa and I can't stop thinking about this gorgeous Trail I've read so much about.. Although everybody adviced me against going on my own.. Plus, even if I've lived in the French Alps and hiked quite a lot, I've never experience tramping in NZ, which has to be something completely different ! So I was wondering if anybody would be interested with sharing that crazy experience with me ? I just started thinking about the possibility to do it, so I didn't properly study the trail for now which means that would make a month to get perfectly ready ! I know that's a short notice but all this could just be an incredible experience, isn't ? By the way, I'm a 23 yo french girl, travel and life lover, who enjoys meeting people, good laughs and simple things. I'm fond of sports (skiing, running, hiking of course etc.), food, music and above all, nature ! Wishing you the best hikes, Delphine
