Curious Goose Travel

Hi, I'm Helen, just a British girl who loves to travel! I'm curious by nature, love exploring new places and having new experiences. I recently quit my full 9-5 job to travel full time and wanted to show you that you're never too old to follow your dreams. Stay Curious, Helen x

If you're looking for an easy #hike in #NewZealand with breathtaking #mountainviews head to the Hooker valley Track! It's an easy 10km return and follows a clear, mostly flat trail with views of Mount Cook (Aoraki), Hooker Lake and Mueller Glacier. – at Christchurch City, New Zealand

We may have had spag bol at our campsite in NZ for our Xmas dinner this year and it certainly didn't feel xmassy. But I made sure to get some treats in over the past few days!! 😋 😆 #travelbloggers #Foodie #sweettooth – at Waitaki District, New Zealand

Spectacular views from the ferry between New Zealand's North and South Island. It's like transport and sightseeing in one! And being a budget backpacker, I'm always after ways to save and still see amazing things! 😆 #Newzealand #budgettravel #travelblogger – at Queenstown-Lakes District, New Zealand

Before we left the north island, I found another walk to do. The Escarpment Track is a 9.4km one-way #hike near Wellington that traverses the mountain. Cue lots of steps, steep edges, heights and suspension bridges. Slightly harder than I was expecting but great fun! #NewZealand – at Grey District, New Zealand

Couldn't go to Wellington without a short trip on the famous cable car! We enjoyed a picnic in the Botanic gardens at the top before walking back down through the park. Perfect, wholesome afternoon 👌 #cityviews #wellingtonNZ #travel – at Marlborough District, New Zealand

Had an incredible day #hiking the Tongariro Alpine Crossing. 19.4km of beautiful views! An absolute must do on the North Island! @PureNewZealand #hikingtrail #newzealand #travelphotography – at Manawatu District, New Zealand

From the acid green lake at Wai-O-Tapu, Rotorua in my last post to the ice blue water of Huka falls in #Taupo. 200,000 litres of water crash down here every second! The power is incredible! #NewZealand #travelblogger – at Ruapehu District, New Zealand

Have you ever seen a lake this green?! Just one of the unreal sights at Wai-O-Tapu Geothermal Wonderland in #Rotorua There's thermal activity all under Rotorua meaning there's several places like this you can visit, including a free spot in the town! #NewZealand @PureNewZealand – at Rotorua District, New Zealand

I've been in New Zealand for almost two weeks now and realised I've not tweeted about any of the amazing places I've been yet! So thought I'd kick it off with some snaps from this mornings tour at Hobbiton. I mean, did you even go to NZ if you didn't see some LOTR stuff?! #travel – at Waipa District, New Zealand

What's the first thing that pops into your mind when you think of Thailand? It's probably not hiking. BUT there's lots of beautiful hiking trails and nature walks all over Thailand! Here's 10 of my fav: bit.ly/3gbECJr #thailandtravel #hiking #traveblog – at Hauraki District, New Zealand

Finishing a new #blog today and loving my 'office' views - just wish I didnt have to squint so much to see the screen! When will laptops be made so you can see them properly outside?! #travelblogger – at Whangarei District, New Zealand

It seems that more people are visiting my #Vietnam #blogs at the moment which is great to see! Vietnam is an amazing country to travel in. Here's my itinerary for how to spend 4 weeks in Vietnam: bit.ly/3UBa0je #travelbloggers – at Auckland, New Zealand

#travelhack Did you know you can walk across #Sydney Harbour Bridge without having to pay to climb it? You might only be able to get photos through the mesh fence but the views are great. Stop on the north shore to get a different perspective of the city #Australia #budgettravel – at Auckland, New Zealand

Got my steps in yesterday with the Bondi-Coogee coastal walk. 12km return with stunning views and lunch on the beach. Even if you don't usually like walking, you can't not enjoy this one. #coastalwalk #Sydney #Australia #bondibeach – at Sydney, New South Wales

After 6 weeks of #vanlife on #australia's east coast, its been so good to have a little studio the last two days. To spread out and have an actual bed! We were so ready for a couple of days of doing nothing and relaxing in comfort. Next up, Sydney for a few days! #traveling – at Cairns, Queensland

Spent 2 nights in Port Douglas before exploring the Daintree Rainforest & had to come back for another night. Love this little town. Gorgeous viewpoints, cafes & restaurants & of course Four Mile Beach. Definitely somewhere to stop in North queensland. #thisisqueensland #travel – at Port Douglas - Craiglie, Queensland

There's something fascinating about walking through the rainforest. Dont you think? #thisisqueensland #seeaustralia #NaturePhotography – at Mossman Gorge, Mossman
