When I was nine my oldest brother Darren graduated from high school and hopped on a plane to New Zealand. This was before email or cell phones. We would get these postcards and handwritten letters filled with stories and drawings of adventures he'd been on. Hitchhiking around this magical country, met with kindness and hospitality everywhere he went. His stories have stuck with me my whole life and it became a dream of mine to see and experience some of what he had described to us.

On a last minute whim we booked a home on wheels for a month and hit the road. This is a bit of the magic we experienced on the North Island of New Zealand.

Our little family packed up and hit the North Island of New Zealand for a month long adventure in a home on wheels. A last minute voyage with no expectations we set out on the road. Stunning landscapes, black and white sand beaches, off shore winds, surf, earthquakes, some good old family togetherness, and an extreme feeling of gratitude. This is a Burns-Low New Zealand adventure.
