An outdoor enthusiast, Kristina Montgomerie has a giant spreadsheet of all the hikes she wants to complete in Aotearoa. In this episode, she shares some of her favourite hikes in the Taranaki region and we compare notes from hiking the Pouakai Circuit in opposite directions during different seasons. She also shares her experience hiking to Syme Hut in winter - the second highest hut in the North Island. Kristina also shares photography tips and advice on visiting the insta-famous Pouakai Tarns.
