The first week in Papua New Guinea was all about our trek along the Kokoda Track, which took us through 96km of the dense jungle for 8-days. It sounds pretty wild but it was about to get much more adventurous as we set off aboard a small plane from Port Moresby to Mount Hagen. We …

My final week in Switzerland before heading off to Tunisia for a one-week break, was a whirlwind of epic hikes. With 6 hikes in 7 days, my legs got a workout and so did my camera.
