About Me

Danni

Hi, I’m Danni! Born and raised in the Hunter Valley, Australia I have been living in New Zealand since 2016. I am a zookeeper and children’s picture book author with a passion for adventure. I’ve completed Te Araroa -The Long Pathway, a 3000km thru-hike covering the full length of New Zealand, surveyed wildlife in Madagascar, survived the Kokoda Track of Papua New Guinea, summited Mt Kinabalu in Borneo, dived the crystal-clear coasts of Niue and tracked mountain gorilla in Uganda.
