Before your mind runs out of control, in New Zealand tramping means to hike through the wilderness for days at a time. The word comes from the Middle German trampen, to walk with a heavy step, and it reminds me simultaneously of children stomping through the woods with exploratory zeal, and very heavy backpacks. It stirs up memories of every time I've ever been wet, exhausted, and enthralled by life. That is what we're here for.
For the next year I'll be living and working in New Zealand with my husband. We won't spend the whole time tramping, but we might as well embrace its spirit of exploration in general. Follow us here for updates on our travels and experiences. First stop, Auckland!
