hikes that leave you speechless (and breathless) with #GandalfTheGuide ? The last couple of days have been a bit overwhelming with all the article features and messages I've received from all over the ?, I really appreciate it. Also, thank you to all the new and old followers who helped me reach 10k, a huge milestone for me! While my cross country road trip might be over, it doesn't mean that there won't be more adventures, so stay tuned ?

#GandalfTheGuide may have dyed his hair blonde (see it?) cos he wants to feel young again ?. Thoughts? if you're ever heading to Milford Sound, pop by Lake Marian en route cos it's beyond epic! Plus, you might run into cool people like @youngadventuress

witnessing the turquoise water at hokitika gorge with #GandalfTheGuide has definitely been a highlight of our journey through middle-earth. a little while ago, @purenewzealand featured some snippets of my journey with gandalf on their facebook page, to celebrate the 15 year anniversary of ?? being home to middle-earth. I tried linking it in my bio, but it wouldn't work - so head over to their facebook to see the photos (including some exclusive shots that I haven't posted here)

looks like #GandalfTheGuide is blending in with the surroundings. I went on a lovely mission to the Rob Roy Glacier with some fellow instagrammers @ellenprojects, @adaptography, @time_to_film, and @dubdof. I love the community aspect of instagram cos you get to meet and hangout with other photographers! In other news, I hope everyone is safe from the recent earthquake here in nz - while camping, I thought the wind was shaking my car - but, when I read the news this morning - turns out it was actually an earthquake! @lakewanakanz @purenewzealand

safe to say, you won't find this spot in a @lonelyplanet guide! that's the advantage of travelling with #GandalfTheGuide (thank you @leilajnicholson)
