Kokoda was the hardest, most emotional draining experience of my life.

It was hot and it rained every day. I was wet most of the times when i crawled into my tiny tent at night. Sleeping on half an inch …

Auckland is not the prettiest of cities and I hate to say it but i really wasn't a fan. Whilst you are there though a great way to see the city is on a kiwi experience or stray tour. Best of all its free!!!! You book it at the reception of your hostel and they pick you up in the morning and it la…

The entire track can easily be walked in a few days. If you have a family, or not enough time - take a water taxi to Anchorage and casually walk back, or catch up with a water taxi at another bay (check which bays they stop at).

Also, it's best to have your own tra…
