After an intense period in the tech sector during New Zealand’s COVID-19 response, Chris Borton found himself needing space, both physical and mental. That need sparked a journey of reflection and renewal as he hiked the length of New Zealand’s South Island. Through breathtaking landscapes and rugged terrain, Chris didn’t just take a break- he hit reset. His story is one of resilience, introspection, and choosing to step away in order to move forward.
