  • Inspiring storytelling

    Abigail and her guests lead the listener to dream and be inspired by their stories of beautiful places in Aotearoa. They showcase that you can have a small or an epic adventure, and both are just as life-giving - being outdoors and in nature. Thanks for doing this podcast Abigail, every episode I find myself surprised to be interested and inspired by every topic, even the ones I’d never dreamed of doing myself, maybe I could!
