The World Awaits: travel tales to inspire your wanderlust
Winter Series #4: Mindful Hiking in New Zealand & Nepal
This week, we go to the high mountains and quiet forests with two mindful hikers, in Nepal and New Zealand.
Ever think about quitting your corporate job and following a life-long dream? Laura Waters did, and she’s now an award-winning author, travel writer and speaker. Laura talks to Kirstie about hiking the length of New Zealand in a life-changing experience that led to her to write her travel memoir, Bewildered, soultrekkers.com.au
Walking slowly in silence in the Nepalese Himalayas is just one of the ways travel writer Nina Karnikowski says we can embrace mindful travel. Belle talks to Nina about taking the time to travel, and taking in the world around us on a more acute level. “We can travel at a pace so fast, we actually miss all the wonder around us as we tick our boxes and return home exhausted," she says.
See more about Nina’s work, including her latest book, The Mindful Traveller, at ninakarnikowski.com, and for more about her upcoming tour to the Nepalese Himalayas, visit worldexpeditions.com
