Tim Voors talks about Te Araroa and Thru-Hiking

Today’s guest, Tim Voors, I actually met very briefly while
hiking New Zealand’s long-distance trail, Te Araroa, in 2018.
Back then, I only hiked the South Island and went northbound. Tim
did the whole trail and went southbound. We had a brief
conversation standing in a creek while passing each other. We
have never lost contact, and I am thrilled to have Tim on today’s
show. 


Tim made long-distance hiking an occasional lifestyle, wrote a
handful of books about his adventures on various long-distance
trails, and generally just is an inspiring person to talk to. Tim
hiked multiple trails such as the Pacific Crest Trail, the
Continental Divide Trail, Te Araroa, Kungsleden in Sweden,
Fishermen’s Trail in Portugal, the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage
in Japan, and a couple of other trails. 


In our episode, we talk about thru-hiking in general and also
about bits and pieces of Te Araroa. But overall, it is a
conversation about life on the trail, trail culture, trail
ethics, how to perceive long-distance hiking, and how to
implement thru-hiking in an occupied life. 


I hope you enjoy listening to our conversation. 


Yours truly, Mareike
