Getting Lost - the blog
Getting Lost started out as a travel blog in 2015. James and I had just rekindled our relationship and we were adventuring like never before with our then 6, 7 and 8 year old daughters. I started documenting it all on a blog called Getting Lost. A few of you followed us and you asked us how we found all these places. So we made a game with directions to get you off the beaten track. On the blog are hundreds of our adventures around Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Fiji over the last 10 years and of course, how it all began.

How to have a perfect day as a non diver in the Poor Knights
The Poor Knights are something that I’ve heard a lot about through James. He’s dived there quite a few times when he was younger, sailed there with his Dad as...
Making peace with Puhoi
Puhoi and I have a chequered past. It started out 25 years ago. It was the mid 90’s and I’d left school at 17 and had my first job at...
Finding Mahurangi
It’s a side effect of having 3 jobs, 3 kids and a love of travel that there is very seldom a day when I wake up with nothing to do....
A hundred thousand welcomes to Waipu
