Thanks Runa. I'm Kiwi, nearly 80, a former motorcyclist, lying in bed having my first dance with Covid, and you have cheered me up with your joy in places I know and love. A couple of examples - the bridge you crossed north of Springs Junction is where I got an excited phone call from a friend of my son's telling me he and his wife were going to have their first child! She is now finishing her law degree. Okiwi Bay is where I caught my biggest rock lobsters on scuba. Durville Island opposite you in French Pass - I used to know a Māori nurse who lived there told me the lobsters used to climb out of the water onto rocks and they could be caught by nets. The road you were on at Momorangi Bay used to be called the Grove Track, and my best friend and I pushbiked across it when it was shingle en route from Picton to Kaiteriteri - we were 16 and out of contact with family for 3 weeks. You have graced Aotearoa New Zealand with your presence Runa. Thank you.
… fellow Kiwi, couldn’t have put it better. She honoured the place. A true traveler, not a tourist or just an influencer. I’ll go ride roads I learned about from your vids. What a legacy!
Wow.. This made me a bit sentimental reading. It is so crazy to think about how many memories places hold. Thank you so much for sharing this! Sounds like you have done many exciting things, and have collected many good memories! I hope you have a great December so far, and thank you so much for following along on my little adventure 🥰
Sharing my trips with you guys is more rewarding that I can ever express - what a fantastic community this is, so much kindness. Thank you so much for following along!
Hey hopskinny. I’m 70, female, started riding on my own at 13. Never had an accident. Did stunts as well. Now in the Rockies. Where are you residing these days?
Thanks Runa, for that beautiful, stunning ride. For a while there, it looked like the countryside was covered with felt. This is what motorcycling is for... to soak in the beauty of our planet. I, too, can never pick between the mountains or the waterfront, though I can only take so much of riding through forests, I need to be able to see the horizon. And as always, I'm impressed how out of millions of tracks you pick the nicest music to go with your travels. Cheers.
There are many pluses of motorcycling in NZ, certainly in South Island, little traffic, beautiful landscapes, and no nasty wildlife to contend with. Sheer bliss, and your presentation is SO relaxing. I cannot think of a single negative. I shall miss your content, Runa.
New Zealand really is the perfect motorcycle country in so many ways, I absolutely loved my time there! Glad you enjoy my content, I sure enjoy the travels and to be able to share it with you guys! 😊 I have more content in store after this series is done - I hope you will like that too 😃
@@martinforrester8249 Funny - we were tramping in the Kaweka Ranges and had an Aussie newbie in our group. We had to tease him, didn't we? Otherwise there is no reason for Aussies to exist. We told him what you said - nothing to be frightened of in the NZ bush. Over the next couple of days he walked into bush lawyer, ongaonga (fierce native nettles known to have killed deer), and finally a nice friendly looking patch of bastard (or hook) grass. He lost trust in us after that!
I do too! Perfect to bring along on my trips 😃 It's been a pleasure sharing this adventure, and I am already looking forward to bring you guys along on the next. Thank you! 😊
Far out Runa, you do amazing production. Really appreciate the time and effort you have put into these great videos. I hope us kiwis have treated you well and you’ve got great memories of your time in NZ. As an aside, the frost in March was a bit unfortunate!!
I will miss seeing New Zealand through your eyes when this is over, but i will always have the option to rewatch. Won't be the slightest bit surprised if you go back someday.
@OffSheGoesADV I hope travelling Australia is part of your plans in the future. We have some really great ADV festivals here, it would be amazing to have you come along and share your experiences.
Thank you for sharing your trip ! You brought back memories from my two sea kayaking holidays in the sounds between Waikawa and the French Sound. Both times in December and January during the summer. It is a fantastic area.
Oh wow I bet that must have been nice seeing the landscape from a kayak! It's fascinating how much the perspective of the landscape changes when you see it from a different side!
Noooo only 3 days left of your mindfulness videos. I love the personality and emotion that comes through on your content, gets better and better. I wonder where next?
It sure is sad that it's coming to and end - but that also means the next one can begin! 😃 I can't wait to share with you the next season starting right after this one!
@@markchristianson8178 Knowing those little birds the way I do, if it had hands it would be standing there hands on hips, saying "C'mon, let's be having you. What are you doing lying there - get outside walking around and stirring up bugs for me to eat." They are hungry, not cold!
Yes the coffees are awesome the roads are great living the lifestyle A lot of hidden gems around New Zealand freedom camping sites i’ve chased the sunrise to sunset in one day 🤘🏾
it’s good to be multicultural ive Camped in Aussie Bay 😁🖕🏾 I work on interislander loading trucks and trailers in Picton bitumen beneath my feet I can fly to the sun it’s good to find peace ✌🏽
As always you videos are true to your name showing us the “secret” beauty of this planet. Ps to get Luke warm water … plug the sink and run both hot and cold water into it 👍😂 stay awesome my friend 🙌
Amazing scenery, epic ride with comforting and engaging commentary, I enjoy these videos so much even when I don't feel like enjoying things much, just so relatable and genuine, thank you and let me know if you ever come to the USA for a ride!
Thank you so much for the kind comment - you guys makes it such a joy to share these travels and experiences. I really appreciate it! I hope you have a good day over there!
Beautiful, beautiful and just beautiful Ma'am Runa.. the sceneries, the weather, the emotions you shared are just beyond surreal.. I was getting a bit worried for your rubber ducky in the freezing temperatures but good thing you did a check on it 😂.. indeed, a month just wheezed past especially when you're having a great time..Until your next update, ride safe and as always, thank you so much for your so inspirational videos.. makes one want to drop everything and just ride their dreams..
Hahah, Andy the rubber duck held up so well and still is! 🐥🥰 And thank you so very much for your kind words, you guys really are the best, you're the cherry on top of an already amazing experience!
I've been to French Pass, what amazed me was the powerful sea current and whirl-pools - if you find yourself back in NZ, please tour the Coromandel Peninsula - plenty of mountain country with beautiful beaches and half a dozen DoC campgrounds. Best time, late Feb / early March.. Meanwhile, have a great Christmas!..
It sure was stunning! I almost lost my drone in the wind coming down the valleys there 😂 SO many nice places to visit, I have to come back for more some day! Wish you a great december and christmas, thank you for following along on my trip 😊
Always a pleasure to watch your videos Runa. I drift off into a fantasy world listening to your calming voice and the unimaginable scenery. It is like a form of meditation. Thank You 😊
That is very kind of you! Thank you 😊 I guess that is sort of how I feel while I ride and experience these areas too, and I try my best to elt the videos reflect the feelings I had while being there!
Hi Runa your Moms gloves are awesome I bet she is with you every kilometer of your Journey's what an epic place this is French Pass and the saddle road I have seen so mnay places like that over the years in various Rally Cars and Bikes and 4WD's, Unfortunately back them we did not have the options to record stuff we saw as easily as now.
I do feel very fortunate that I have the option to capture my travels on video, I hope to be able to look back at it one day! And I do love my gloves 🥰 Have a great monday over there, hope december is treating you well so far!
That campsite was full of Bob and Marge. At least if they are there, they aren't blocking up the passes 😀 Sending love 💜 Old-fashioned UK taps - no mixer. My bathroom handwash bowl is still like that. Pain, relief, pain, reief.
Hahaha, pain - relief 😂 Indeed! A few have pointed out I could have just used the plug laying right in front of my face though, I didn't even notice it!
Crystal clear video, carving through the bends, perfect background music, glorious scenery, cute wildlife, your charming, calm & sometimes funny commentary, interesting stops along the whole NZ adventure, bravely conquering some scary roads alone, some sparking meetups with fellow riders and always your smiling eyes. To see you enjoy the very same places and views that I have seen several times has made my heart sing and made me more determined to move to NZ in the near future. Exploring NZ again through your eyes has been such a pleasure for me Runa. Thanks so much for sharing your journey and for all your hard work and long hours creating these videos. Cheers from Australia. 🤩🤩😍🦘🦘🦘
You guys are making me emotional! Gosh 🥲 Sharing this trip, the experiences, places and everything that comes with it, with so many amazing people online is more rewarding than I can ever express. Thank you!!
Thanks again for showing the world some of our little piece of PARADISE.. There are fantastic backroads in the North Island, with phenominal scenery - similar but yet not compared to Sth Island. Loved watching you!! ++ GH👍👍👍
@@OffSheGoesADV Agreed... I have done over 150,000km touring asphalt, bitumen and lots of gravel on my 1980's BM K100 's. There's just so much to do! Glad you could enjoy it too!
Another awesome video you have done a incredible job filming your adventure what a trip ride safe as always just put my 2 bikes up for the winter season has snowed a few times sad sad time of year
It's a sad time of the year indeed, it literally gets dark here at 4pm and it just keeps raining.. I'm glad I can work on this episodes and relive the trip and warmer days 😃 So nice to able to share it with you guys as well, thank you fro always watching!
Hi Runa, I did enjoy your video! But then again I always do, cute little bird 🐦 to greet you in the morning, but no hot drink and on a frosty morning 😢, I hope you let the frost melt of your seat before leaving or numb bum (not nice) ,I bet that hot drink and food went down a treat, more beautiful views and from frost to warm sunshine. Hope you're well, and have had a good weekend. Best wishes from Roy in England 😊.
Hi, Roy! So nice to read your comment like always too! 😊 Luckily the temperature rose rapidly, and the frost was all melted before departure ❄️ It sure was a cold morning, but it's nice in it's own way too! Have a great week Roy, hope December is treating you well so far 😃
I live in Nelson & its great to see you riding our local roads. We did Maruia last weekend on our way home from doing the Rainbow, I'm pretty spoilt for rides around here.
Great episode Runa. So glad you didn't miss the French Pass. Honestly, even as a local of that area, I love the views and roads out there. I have an episode going out there one day too and use pretty much the same view where you parked your bike on the way down as the thumbnail. It is just stunning. Great route up from Springs Junction to Murchison too. Thanks for bringing us along.
Thank you, Glenn! I totally understand why it's a loved road, also by locals! I mean, what's not to like about it, it was both stunning and a fun ride on the small roads going out there! Thank you for coming along, and I hope you have a good beginng of December! I envy how summer is upon you guys now!
Another great video. 8:40 Too long since I've been to Okiwi Bay. Paddled 11.5 km out and around the headland to the right of the gap, did some fishing, then paddled back. Should have taken some food, drink and sunglasses. 😆
@@OffSheGoesADV Yeah, not too bad for someone who had barely paddled for way longer than I'd ever admit to. My middle daughter loves to paddle and fling pointy sticks. Youngest one likes motorbikes and I'll get her riding very shortly, starting on a farm. You must try it.
Hi Runa..I'm from Indonesia Waiting for you to explore..here there are many mountains and amazing places with friendly people other than the people in the city..hahaha Keep the spirit and have a fun adventure
I'm glad I decided to bring them! 🥶 And well, everyone else seemed to notice that there was a plug for the sink laying RIGHT in front of me that I could have used to fill the sink 😂
Spot on! The contrast and variety of New Zealand was one of my favoruite things 😍 And yup - the 3 did a great job this trip! It's still a good camera 😊
Wow, your mom made those gloves!? She's good! Beautiful scenery. What's the deal with that icy weather? It's summer where you are. You must be up really high in those mountains. Safe travels always.
Yeah, I woulda been in a cabin or something that first night lol...the weather got really nice for you, the views along the roads were great! next time take a wash cloth, get it hot then add a little cold water, boom, luke warm to wash your face lol
Haha a cabin would have been comfy indeed - my gear was not suitable for those temperatures. A wash cloth is a good idea, luckily a problem I didn't run into a lot 😂
Hahah yes! This was the day I descided I needed to change to a layering system in my gear so i could adjust more easily the the changing temperatures 😂 Have a great day over there!

How awesome is Rocks road through Nelson. Can't ever get tired of that view. The Rivers cafe in Murchison is awesome
There are SO many good roads and views here - I have to come back one day to see more of it!
Beautiful view in the lake 14:11
A stunning ride through scenic South. Amazing
Such a nice area, like literally all of the south island! I have to go back one day to see more of it!
I will miss seeing New Zealand through your eyes when this is over, but i will always have the option to rewatch. Won't be the slightest bit surprised if you go back someday.
I won't be surprised by that either! SO much left to see there, I absolutely loved it. But there is so many other countries to explore too 😍
Looove the mittens.
I do too 😍
Amazing episode Runa, thanks!!!!!! 👌🏼🤩
Thank you for always watching, Eric! 🥰
Very nice video, thank you from India
Thank you great scenery and ride. The first day with the ice on tent and bike I could do without :-)
Thanks Runa. Always feel uplifted and inspired after your adventures. I’ve never been to the places you’ve seen, and they’re truly beautiful.
Thank you for always following along! Appreciate it a lot - sharing these places and experiences with you guys is so rewarding!
What an awesome video Runa, thanks for sharing how much beautiful New Zealand really is!! 👍👍
What an incredibly beautiful ride👍 And mom's gloves, super nice :-) Thanks again Runa.

Pro tip: put the plug in the sink(it was right there on the chain) and then you mix the hot and cold water to perfection.
Indeed, a few have ponted out already! I can't believe I did not spot the plug RIGHT in front of me 😂
Perfect video
I appreciate this so much. Great to follow your journey!! ❤

Oh you have the best backyard evert! I definitely have to come back one day to discover more of both islands - I absolutely loved my time here
@OffSheGoesADV sing out if you do & we can show you some local spots.
Great episode Runa. So glad you didn't miss the French Pass. Honestly, even as a local of that area, I love the views and roads out there. I have an episode going out there one day too and use pretty much the same view where you parked your bike on the way down as the thumbnail. It is just stunning. Great route up from Springs Junction to Murchison too. Thanks for bringing us along.
Thank you, Glenn! I totally understand why it's a loved road, also by locals! I mean, what's not to like about it, it was both stunning and a fun ride on the small roads going out there! Thank you for coming along, and I hope you have a good beginng of December! I envy how summer is upon you guys now!
@OffSheGoesADV Yeah we are into some good riding weather again, 🙌
creaming soda is my fav! cool trip
It was pretty good! Even better at the end of a hot (and cold) day 😂
Another great video.
8:40 Too long since I've been to Okiwi Bay. Paddled 11.5 km out and around the headland to the right of the gap, did some fishing, then paddled back. Should have taken some food, drink and sunglasses. 😆
Oh wow that's quite the paddle 😃 I'm sure it's a fantastic way to see the landscape, too! Perhaps I should give it a try one day
@@OffSheGoesADV Yeah, not too bad for someone who had barely paddled for way longer than I'd ever admit to. My middle daughter loves to paddle and fling pointy sticks. Youngest one likes motorbikes and I'll get her riding very shortly, starting on a farm.
You must try it.
Spennende å følge dine reisebrev her på youtube Runa
Takk, det er hyggelig å høre! 😊
Great video (as always 😊) and great soundtrack 👌😉🇧🇷
Put the plug in the sink, and 'make' water to your temp !
Mor's hemstickade yllevantar är det bästa 🙂 mycket bra videos du gör. Hälsningar från Luleå 🙂
God aften, i Luleå 😃 Ja, disse vottene har vært gode å ha med seg på reise! Og tusen takk, glad du liker de 😊
Hej från grannkommun Boden
@@Valhallsvakten Hei, der borte!👋 Håper du har en fin lørdags kveld 😄
Beautiful video
Thank you! Glad you liked it 😊
Beautiful 👍
It sure was!
Sweet gloves your Mom made!
Right? I love them!
Hi Runa..I'm from Indonesia Waiting for you to explore..here there are many mountains and amazing places with friendly people other than the people in the city..hahaha
Keep the spirit and have a fun adventure
Indonesia looks really nice, I hope to go there some day! 😊 Have a good day over there!
Love the Motorcycle Gloves Runa 😂🙌🏻 If you don't want to use the sink to dipp that face, fill up a cup with 50/50 😂
I'm glad I decided to bring them! 🥶 And well, everyone else seemed to notice that there was a plug for the sink laying RIGHT in front of me that I could have used to fill the sink 😂
Cold - hot, fjord - mountain. Such a land of contrasts! Like Norway but different. Nice filming - and with dji action 3... 👌👍😊
Spot on! The contrast and variety of New Zealand was one of my favoruite things 😍 And yup - the 3 did a great job this trip! It's still a good camera 😊
Wow, your mom made those gloves!? She's good! Beautiful scenery. What's the deal with that icy weather? It's summer where you are. You must be up really high in those mountains. Safe travels always.
Yeah, she is a great knitter! 😊 They come along for pretty much all my trips, so nice to have on colder mornings and evenings!
Yeah, I woulda been in a cabin or something that first night lol...the weather got really nice for you, the views along the roads were great! next time take a wash cloth, get it hot then add a little cold water, boom, luke warm to wash your face lol
Haha a cabin would have been comfy indeed - my gear was not suitable for those temperatures. A wash cloth is a good idea, luckily a problem I didn't run into a lot 😂
Very cool again, thanks for sharing kiddo 👍😊...
And thank you for following along - really appreciate that! Have a great evening 😊
Kool Gloves, nice ride too 🏍️
Thank you! I quite like them too 😃
Crazy range of temperatures😂Another spectacular video Runa, NZ is just incredible👌
Hahah yes! This was the day I descided I needed to change to a layering system in my gear so i could adjust more easily the the changing temperatures 😂 Have a great day over there!
Nice journey sister I'm from Garo hills
Shout out to your Mom for the awesome mitts!😅
Haha she deserves it, I love those mittens 😍
I've been to NZ many times ,however you still manage to show me areas i haven't seen.
I have a feeling we could travel New Zealand for months and months and still discover new incredible places! I definitely have to go back one day!
@OffSheGoesADV my mum was a kiwi ,NZ ,certainly has a lots of beautiful locations
Creaming soda and ice cream yum 😋 .
Perfect combo 😃
Everything is frozen 😮❤
It was suuuch a cold morning 🥶
saya mendukung anda,,, semoga sehat selalu salam dari Indonesia
