Hey! I’m Molly. I was traveling around the world in 2020, starting with a one-way flight to New Zealand. I had to put things on pause due to the global coronavirus pandemic, but I hope to someday resume my travels. As the Kiwis say: kia haha. Stay strong.

My first-ever multi-day hike went awry in many ways — rain, rats, miscalculated distances, strange hostels. But let me tell ya: it makes a great travel tale.
Tasman Bay Pt 2: Hellos, Goodbyes and Seeya Laters
My last couple weeks working at the hostel involved a lot of friends, barbecues and beach selfies — you’ve been forewarned.
Be like the fox who makes more tracks than necessary, some in the wrong direction. Practice resurrection.
