Sea Kayaking, Abel Tasman National Park
![]()
One of Valentina’s favourite NZ moments: sea kayaking.
Hi all , I‚m Valentina, Italian , born and bred in Rome, but I’ve been an ‘Iwi’ (as in Italian-Kiwi) for the last 3 years. I‚ve also been a Japanese tour guide and tour Leader and travel consultant in Italy. I have backpacked my way around Europe, Africa, North America, South East and East Asia and of course Oceania. I fell in Love with New Zealand 7 years ago, I still remember the exact moment: it was a mid November morning, I was paddling my way around the Abel Tasman National Park in a 2 seater sea-kayak (my first time on a kayak too) and maybe it was the way the sun was shining and the sky was so blue or the emerald color reflecting from the water! If you’re in Auckland, please come and see my at Base Travel, Auckland - it’s where all travelaholics stop by! Ciao, Valentina x
