Award-winning journalist Naomi Arnold spent nearly nine months solo walking the length of New Zealand on Te Araroa, fulfilling a 20-year dream. She traversed mountains, rivers, cities and plains from summer to spring, walking on through days of thick mud, blazing sun and lightning storms, and into cold, starlit nights. Along the way, she penned Northbound: Four seasons of solitude on Te Araroa, her brilliant new book that recounts her fascinating adventure.

Join Naomi to hear about the colourful locals and travellers she met who inspired her, and how she turned 1000 voice notes into a dazzling book. Naomi will also share some of the beautiful (and sometimes hilarious) photos and videos she took to document her journey from the southern bluff of Motupōhue to the northern cape of Te Rerenga Wairua. Northbound will be available for sale, with book signing after the event, thanks to Unity Books.
