Hi, my name is Jared and I've grown up in the bush near Puriri on the Coromandel Peninsula, New Zealand.

I love being in the outdoors and I've spent many years hiking throughout New Zealand and the world - both on and off track. New Zealand has some amazing outdoor recreation opportunities.

Through my YouTube channel, I'd like to share some of my experiences and inspire others to get outdoors and enjoy what New Zealand and the world has to offer.

I thru-hiked New Zealand's 3000km long Te Araroa Trail from Cape Reinga to Bluff in the 2022/2023 season, and I spent just under five months backpacking around Europe in the first half of 2024.

Currently, I am a student in Princeton University's Class of 2028, living in New Jersey!

Thank you very much for your support. It really helps me grow my channel and keep adventuring!
