This podcast was one of the very best! Not only did I learn a lot, I got excited just as if I were going with you. The details, or “deets,” as you call them, were fascinating. Thanks.
Hi Alison. I have loved the trip down memory lane through my old youthful territory. Northland, the beaches and of course Mangawhai where I have spent so much time over the years. Reminds me of my surfing trips over 50 years ago also. These places were so wild and remote and hard to access way back then. Now you’re on the Auckland. My home town.
Mind you I left there in 1985 and haven’t lived there since but once a JAFA always JAFA. Keep it up. The trail between Long Bsy and Takapuna is another favorite place anyone have walked often. Can’t wait for more. Great stuff
I love this note, George! and I so much liked my walk into Auckland. Every bay had people doing a different water sport – surfing, sailing, paddle board – what a life!
You portray the self-doubt that can overwhelm when left behind so vividly. But never left behind for long and the smile always returns. Captivating listening!
I just love the spontaneity and honesty of this podcast. Great narration!
it was a really hard moment when it happened, but a year of reflection helped me see the power in the moment. thanks MD!!
