travelers stories about Forest in Dickey Flat Campsite, New Zealand

Forest in Dickey Flat Campsite, New Zealand

  30 km from Matamata


Exploring. Getting Lost. Inhale. Take a shot. Do it again. This world is made of a infinite place to see and explore, you and you only have the chance to give it a try and follow your instinct. I didn’t leave my home country with much money in my pocket and I still got the opportunity to do what I really wanted to do. Go for it, trust yourself and go with the flow.

“In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.” J.R.R.Tolkien
