Hi, I'm Stephanie
Visual storyteller and lover of adventure.
As someone who has created a lifestyle that centres around celebrating time in nature.. whether that’s hikes around New Zealand, visiting new towns, or meeting new people.. I live and LOVE an active lifestyle, and yet what I’ve noticed is that it’s too easy to speed through life from one thing to the next. As well as the grand adventures, there are so many moments of quiet joy in each day that I wanted to remind myself and others about. Those feelings of mindful moments that are equally important to how we take care for and connect with ourselves. Taking in a view, breathing in the fresh air on a hike, enjoying a sunset, a cup of coffee in the sun, a good book, all these mini moments and mini staycations are the golden pieces we miss if we don’t pay attention.
This is what it’s about, saying yes to more moments fully experienced.

Stephanie was a great guest and took some awesome content including photos and videos. Can’t wait to see how the place turned out and continue collaborating with her and Riparide. Thanks Stephanie!
