Dutch writer Tim Voors has hiked his way through several regions- inspiring his creative projects.

Voors is a 'thru-walker' who completed Aotearoa's infamous Te Araroa Trail in 2018, a journey that took 5 months and 4 million steps.

He turned the adventure into a new memoir- Not Alone: Walking the Te Araroa Trail through New Zealand.

"I asked myself the question- how can I try and give nature a structural role in my life. I love work and being in the city with my family, but I also love nature. I've tried to restructure my years."
