About this listen

Alone in the wilderness

Award-winning journalist Naomi Arnold spends nearly nine months walking the length of New Zealand on Te Araroa, fulfilling a 20-year dream. On her own, she traverses 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 encounters colourful locals and travellers who delight and inspire her.

An upbeat, fascinating and inspiring memoir of solitude, love and friendship, and the joys and pains to be found in the wilderness.

Profile Image for Audrey Baker

Gorgeous, blunt, and bursting with compassion

It's hard to imagine being mostly alone in the near-wilderness for the large part of a year, but this book wills you along with her as she pushes past all sorts of human boundaries I might never dare. Arnold's grit is stunning, a stubborn but deeply compassionate force of nature. She tells the story as if you're along with her, somehow, to confide in. I highly recommend this audio book as a companion for your car rides, grocery trips, and chores at home, because it sure kept me great company!
