He Popped the Q
Posted on October 23, 2018October 24, 2018

He Popped the Q

It’s been 10 months since Kels popped the big Q and I’ve realized that I’ve only ever told this story verbally. So here’s to writing it down so you can hear how it went; and, so that Kels and I can look back and remember it forever. I want to say it started October 2017 … Continue reading He Popped the Q

We had planned to go for a walk in the hills this weekend; but, due to track closures 🔥 we ended up rock hopping instead! What did you do to get outside? ☀️ • • • #adventuresofdaniandkels #destinationsofdani #chasehappiness #cablebay #ilovenelsontasman #goweeknz #peoplewhoadventure #newzealandadventures #nzmustdo #whateveryouradventure #explorenz #weroamnewzealand #newzealandbeauty #getoutside #allaboutadventures #trekkingtoes #gottalovenz #aotearoa
Last February 14th until we say I DOOOOOOOO. 💍 👰 Thanks for all the laughs, adventures, hugs and shenanigans @krigler56. You’re my favourite human and I love you to infinity and beyond. ✨💙 • • • #adventuresofdaniandkels #happythursday #coupleswhoadventure #engaged #gonnagetmarried #myvalentine #seenewzealand #whateveryouradventure #GOweekNZ #NZmustdo #aotearoa #newzealand #peoplewhoadventure #southislandnz #choosemountains #mountaincouple
I haven’t really touched my blog recently; but, I sat down yesterday and I typed up a quick little life update if you’re curious! Link is in my bio. ☀️ • www.destinationsofdani.com • • • #destinationsofdani #chasehappiness #hello2019 #whiskeyfalls #aotearoa #nelsonlakes #ilovenelsontasman #whateveryouradventure #newzealandadventures #newzealand #girlswhohike #likeamountaingirl #womenwhoexplore #gltlove
I had a stunner of a long weekend! I jumped off my grandad’s boat and went swimming with dolphins 🐬, I sat in the sun and read ☀️, I hiked up this hill to this gorgeous view 😍 and I spent time with family - couldn’t have asked for a better time (only maybe a longer time). I’m sending warm sunshine to all my friends and family in Canada at the moment. Miss you all but loving the adventure (and weather) over here!?🇨🇦 • • • #destinationsofdani #chasehappiness #newzealandadventures #ilovenelsontasman #peoplewhohike #whateveryouradventure #southislandnz #goldenbay #likeamountaingirl #trekkingtoes #kiwipics #nzsummer #gottalovenz #whyitravelnz
We were meant to have a mountain adventure this weekend; but, things didn’t go exactly to plan. So instead we’re spending the long weekend on the beach with family 🌊 and then having our mountain adventure the following weekend ⛰. Sometimes things not going to plan can turn out better than expected! 😍 So here’s to the next two weekends✨, to summer ☀️, to family💕 and to adventures with my goofball fiancé @krigler56 💍. Safe to say I’m a lucky gal. 💃🏽 • • • #destinationsofdani #chasehappiness #taranaki #airnzshareme #choosemountains #explorenz #nzmustdo #likeamountaingirl #weroamnewzealand #kiwipicsnz #womenwhoexplore #whateveryouradventure #nzsummer #destinationnz #newzealandfinds #allaboutadventures #weareexplorers #trekkingtoes #newzealandwithme #kiwiexperience #backpackinggirls
We are part of so much more than our daily routines. ✨ When I’m in the mountains I realize that the little things I stress over are not a good use of my energy. I remember to be thankful for my legs that help me climb. I become aware of how blessed I am to have the freedom to explore nature’s beauty. This Monday, and every other day - take a look at the big picture. We are blessed beyond belief. Quit stressing and start smiling. 💫 Happiest of Monday’s! ⛰💙 • • • #destinationsofdani #chasehappiness #likeamountaingirl #peoplewhoadventure #weroamnewzealand #mtnchicks #nzmustdo #hikingtheglobe #aoraki #aorakimountcook #choosemountains #newzealandbeauty #goweeknz #makeithomenz
It’s Wednesday. I rode my bike to work. 🚲My new home is beautiful 🌊⛰. I’m surrounded by lovely people.💕 I’m slowly developing a routine. ✔️ I’m going swimming this morning and getting paid for it. 🏊‍♀️ 150 days until I marry @krigler56. 💍 WOW just so many reasons to be HAPPY!! ☀️💫💙 What are you happy for today!? • • • #destinationsofdani #chasehappiness #whateveryouradventure #happyhappyhappy #spreadhappiness #newzealand #coromandel #cooksbeach #seenewzealand #newzealandpics #nzmustdo #airnzshareme #nzsummer #thehitskiwiassummer
Only 154 days until I get to say “I do” to a lifetime of adventures and shenanigans with this goof. 💕💍 We purchased our flights back home last night - so I guess it’s definitely happening. ✈️ It’s nuts, New Zealand is home - Canada is home; but, really, home is whenever I’m with @kelsey_rigler. 😍 • • • #adventuresofdaniandkels #destinationsofdani #chasehappiness #weddingcountdown #whararikibeach #ilovenelsontasman #nzmustdo #engaged #coupleswhoadventure #lifetimeofadventures #nzsunset #kiwipics #peoplewhoadventure #airnzshareme #travelnz
We’ve all heard the saying “the grass is always greener on the other side” and we all know that’s not always true. Yet - I’m sure we’ve all fallen for it at one time or another. I know I sure have. When I was living in Canada, the grass was greener in Australia. When I was in Australia, the grass was greener in New Zealand. When I was in Auckland, the grass was greener anywhere some days. I want to try to live more here and now. To appreciate the little things and embrace the big things full on. I want to practice accepting shit days and moving past them. I want my grass to be the greenest fricken grass there is this year. 🌱✨ • • • #destinationsofdani #chasehappiness #newzealand #likeamountaingirl #choosemountains #shewhowanders #womenwhoexplore #shehikes #nztravel #weroamnewzealand #nzmustdo #purenz #newzealandfinds #hikenz #lovetaupo #tongarirocrossing #tongariro #whateveryouradventure #ospreypacks #goweekNZ
This is me jumping right into 2019. New job, new city, new house, new gym, new goals. ✨ • Week one of my new job was a total information overload - in the best way possible. Getting back into training again this week has left me so sore. And today is move in day for @krigler56 and I into our new home for at least a year (this is the longest lease we’ve signed, so I guess we’re slowly settling). We visited and saw mountains last weekend, and have had multiple post- workout ocean swims. I’m happy to have a place that slowly is beginning to feel like home! 🏠🌊🏔☀️💙 • • #destinationsofdani #chasehappiness #ilovenelsontasman #goldenbay #peoplewhoadventure #seenewzealand #nzmustdo #travelnz #nzsummer #2019 #nzmustdo #kiwipics #airnzshareme #girlswhoadventure #shewhowanders #newzealandsunset #newzealandwithme #thehitskiwiassummer
A river cuts through rock not because of pure strength; but, because it has constant persistence. 2019 will be a year of persistence - I will persevere through challenges and continue to push my limits. You ain’t seen nothing yet. ✨ • • • #destinationsofdani #chasehappiness #2019 #newzealand #hukafalls #nzmustdo #seenewzealand #gopro6 #goprogirl #lifeofnewzealand #backpackerguidenz #travelnz #airnzshareme #peoplewhoadventure #weroamnewzealand #newzealandroadtrip #northislandnz #gltlove #seenewzealand #waikato #lovetaupo #taupo
Without fully realizing it as it was happening , 2018 was a year of change and growth. It was as a year of building for the future - planning our wedding, figuring out what we want from life and setting up for the years to follow. It made me a stronger person and a resilient individual. 2019 will see a new home, a new job, a new last name (sharing is caring @kelsey_rigler) along with new goals, aspirations, friendships and challenges. Happy New Year to all my friends and family. 💕✨Keep on rocking 🤘🏼. • • • #destinationsofdani #chasehappiness #newyear2019 #newzealand #nzmustdo #newzealandfinds #weroamnewzealand #peoplewhohike #mountaingirls #likeamountaingirl #tongarirocrossing #tongariroalpinecrossing #womenwhoexplore #girlslovetravel #passionpassport #airnzshareme #allaboutadventures #gottalovenz #trekkingtoes #peoplewhoadventure
