I loved following you on the PCT, but this is so interesting to me because its a place that I have long wanted to visit. So beautiful
Thanks Shelley. My aim is to make you fall in love with NZ
@@RestlessKiwiHiker Perfect!
Great footage of NZ. Thanks for sharing ✌️🤣
You are welcome
So glad to see you posting this. Thanks
You are welcome Wendy
Beautiful country! Thanks for all the beautiful scenery! I also would love a tour of your campervan.
Hi Ellen. Campervan tour video will be done in a couple of weeks
Thanks for the tour. Always enjoy your videos. These days I have to travel vicariously thru other folks journeys. Had a serious back injury 3 years ago. So walking is very painful.
Hi Jeff. Sorry to about your back injury. I imagine it is fustrating. I am glad I can show you some new places.
Love these videos! All of the natural beauty and the man made beauty as well. I get a kick out of the feeling that we are riding along in your van with you. Also enjoy your signature " Good Morning " that we all enjoyed on the PCT
Thanks Gale. Easy to take beautiful videos when the scenery is so good
I Love seeing your country! ♥️
Thanks. I am constantly reminding myself how lucky we are to live here
Hi, Kirstine! Lovely video. We also have a gorse problem on the southern Oregon coast and a scotch broom problem along parts of the rest of our coast. It contrasts beautifully with our evergreens, but it’s as prolific as our out of control blackberry brambles.
I’m so excited to continue to watch your journey. Thanks for sharing it with us!
Those Brits managed to spread their weeds worldwide. We also have broom.
Wow thanks for sharing Beautiful! Loving all the scenery and the pretty flowers. I hope you continue to share your adventures. Love seeing your country.
Thanks Kathy. Definitely more adventures coming.
Yeah I heard about that crazy lady roaming aimlessly around the PCT
It’s good to hear you are more sensible . Sounds like you got your act together. LOL
You are living life to the fullest by doing all these amazing adventures. Now that’s truly living
Happy trails
Much nicer to retire to the van in the evenings rather than a tent.
Thanks for sharing the stunning gorgeous beaches of New Zealand!!! Having a campervan suits you to a T!!! Just brilliant for your lifestyle.
Thanks Karen.
I’m so thrilled to see some of New Zealand. Much of the PCT was in areas I have camped , so very familiar to me. Love seeing places I have never been before. I am looking forward to your new adventures. Thank you for taking us along.
You are welcome Susan.
So beautiful !!!
Thank you for a much needed break from politics. lol
Yes nice to get away from the stress of real life
Beautiful!! That hill is good practice for if we ever talk you into coming back and doing the CDT! lol.......
Ha ha
It is great to get to see some of your native land. Beautiful scenery and I now understand how steep your mountain inclines are. Do you miss the switchbacks? Thanks for sharing your adventure. Love the sheep. Blessings and safe adventures.
Hi Vickie. No I am not missing switchbacks, much prefer the direct routes.
What beautiful beaches.... the water is gorgeous, so blue.... really surprised there weren't more people out enjoying such a beautiful day...
Still a little cold for swimming. Also it was a work day.
This is going to be a very enjoyable tour. Perhaps the New Zealand Tourism Board can hire you on as a tour guide.:) It's certainly different seeing you hiking around without your trekking poles, but they'd hinder your intermittent running training.
It does feel strange not having my poles
Would also love to see your van and how you converted it. Very adventurous soul.
Hi Charlie. The van tour video will be posted in a couple of weeks
Love the scenery, I am a kiwi and have travelled these areas in the past. I would also love a campervan tour 😉
The van tour is coming. I will do it on my next road trip which starts in a little over a week
Thanks for taking us around New Zealand! Is it spring there? Is the water at the beaches cold? I look forward to your videos.
Hi. Yes it is spring and it has been a cold wet one. The water is still really cold. In this part of the country the sea temperature ranges from 7 to 15 degrees C (45 to 59 degrees F). Spring it averages 11 degrees C (51 F)
Beautiful beaches. How cold is the water? Very nice video. Happy Trails. Good Luck, Rick
Thanks Rick. The water is still cold, hence no one swimming
WOW! As one of your many USA subscribers we now get to see YOUR part of the world. Cheers. OWWWWW! You're driving on the wrong side of the road. LOL! I'm also sure you love traveling where people talk "normal".
Must make you cringe seeing cars coming towards me. Did you notice the arrows on the road to help tourists keep to the right side. Common outside tourist spots and randomly elsewhere
You look and sound a lot like a PCT hiker named Homemade :)!
Must be my doppelganger
Seeing you before you did the PCT , I believe this is the first time since the PCT that you used your name Kirstene and not Ressless Kiwi or Homemade . How's the design for the new tent?
Yes strange using my name - Kirstine. Tent has gone as far as I can without more material. All suppliers are out. I did a prototype for design but need the proper material now.
How about a tour of your van?
Coming. I will do it on my next road trip in a week
Can you say what camera was used when zooming in on the birds?
Sony Cybershot HX90V. It is a small digital point and shoot but has 30 x optical zoom. I did a video reviewing it a couple of weeks ago
It still has the PCT groan, when you retract the zoom😜
Yes, I need to send it away for a service.
Yeah I’m suspicious could you be Homemade’s twin sister? Hm........ you do remind me of a women who hiked the PCT. you should look her up on You Tube.
I looked her up, she is crazy walking the PCT. I am more sensible travelling by van
