Welcome to Auckland, NZ

One of my favourite quotes is by the poet Rumi; “Try not to resist the changes that come your way. Instead let life live through you. And do not worry that your life is turning upside down. How do you know that the side you are used to is better than the one to come?” … Continue reading Welcome to Auckland, NZ

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
