A perfectly quiet night out at Lake Hauroko far into Fiordland New Zealand. Large rains had this dock slightly underwater making for a cool (literally) effect. Fun fact: this small lake is 462m deep!

Off-track crossover hiking (tramping) trip from Borland Valley to Manapouri. Fiordland National Park, New Zealand. We found these guys just before dropping back into the bush. Keas are very smart, cheeky birds.

Flying over Fox Glacier and around Mt Cook in a heli, definitely something everyone should do. Really shows the absolute magnificence and rugged danger of the mountain ranges. Incredible.

Standing there, contemplating nature strength, listing to the buzzy noise of collapsing water. This fall is located in Fiordland, one of the wettest place on the Southern Hemisphere.

This is one of my favourite photos from the Kepler Track in New Zealand. We had a lot of rain the day beforehand but this day was clearing with some lingering clouds around us. Looking behind us you could see the pathway snake its way around the mountain, really showing the scale of the walk we were doing.

Hiking the 4 day Kepler Track in Fiordland, New Zealand. This was taken on day 2 of the hike, after crossing these immensely tall and steep ridgelines - they can be notoriously dangerous to cross if you have poor conditions (wind, rain) but we somehow had perfect weather after a day of rain before. I fell in love with the texture of the mountains from the snow carving it out.

We started our last day of the 4 day hike through the Kepler Track early to make the most of the day - the lake was so perfectly still with the warm colour of the sky. Perfect.

After a long five hour trek uphill on day two of the Kepler Great Walk in New Zealand, we finally reached the top of our climb and were blessed with this breathtaking view. When I think about that hike I remember how mentally and physically difficult it was, but when I look at this photo I’m reminded that it was completely worth it.

A bus, a boat and another bus ride and you’re in Doubtful Sound. On the way, the bus stops when you can catch a first glimpse of the Fiord (yes, it’s a fiord). Besides this view, you’ll also get 9047303 sandflies bites. They’re complimentary. :)

Walking at sunset is one of the small things that I miss about New Zealand. Something simple, but stunning every single time.

This was our view upon exiting the Homer Tunnel as we began our descent down to Milford Sound. Ominous clouds, cascading rain-fed waterfalls, and some amazing cliffs.

Lake Marian track leads to this final lake where you can see a full reflection to the mountain peaks behind in the lake. the track itself goes through a forest with some interesting birds that you can see along the way.

On the way to Milford Sound, theres a single road that cuts through the wilderness. one stop is called the Mirror Lakes. perfectly reflecting!

The drive to Milford Sound is always worth it. My breath was stolen at every turn of the road, and I just never wanted it to end.

I did this hike to Lake Marian because people told me the reflection of the mountains would be amazing. After 3 hours of walking I arrived and couldn’t see anything because of the clouds… how disappointing! But instead of the beautiful reflection I found this antlers standing on a rock by the lake and I got instantly reminded of my hometown Hirschhorn (translated it means “horn of the deer”). After travelling for 7 months and being away from my home this made me smile and gave me new strengh. I will never regret this hike, because unexpected events are always the best.

On my trip through New Zealand I met one guy how also comes from Germany and slept in the same ski lodge. He offers us to give us a free paragliding flight if we will drive his car down in the valley. Guys this was just awesome! We get to free paragliding flights (it was the first time for me) and it was just perfect. :)

Truth be told, I didn’t even realise there were people in the image until I looked at it a few weeks later. It was a winter’s day in Queenstown and I was out for a walk while taking a break from the tours I guide. I always have my camera with me and the fall colours were out - a rare sight for a North Islander in New Zealand.
