This article is on a new app/website called Kuno. Kuno is all about connecting people with “the best thing that’s ever happened in the universe - planet Earth.” It’s crammed with outdoor adventure guides, nature writing, nature science, photography and inspiration.

As a contributor I’m free to produce content about anything relevant to the mission of realigning our relationship with nature to one of belonging.

I wrote this one after a recent trip to Aotearoa New Zealand, my birthplace.
