Nature is Calling

Nature is Calling

We are Leah and Mathias and were taking year off starting in July 2019 to spend time with family, travel and be out in nature.

Our big goal was to walk the Te Araroa trail in New Zealand, but we continue to sometimes post on this website and hope you enjoy the stories we share. Feel free to send us your comments.

... and yes, we know about the double meaning of the website name. ๐Ÿค“
