A Maverick New Zealand Way: How to connect with the 'Earth's last islands'

FINALIST IN THE TRAVEL CATEGORY, INTERNATIONAL BOOK AWARDS, 2018.

A Maverick New Zealand Way is a Maverick writing about her own country. After her mother died, Mary Jane walked all New Zealand for four years. She will make you feel like you have already arrived. And perhaps even that you have known her and her country for years.

Mary Jane shares her love of environmental conservation and volunteering, trekking and adventure. She suggests sustainable travel tips, alternative places to visit and places to stay that only locals know about, off the beaten track.
Discover the stunning back country of New Zealand, through walks, treks, mountain ascents and even a spot of mountain biking. Mary Jane, a self-proclaimed ‘Maverick Traveller’, sets out on many of the walks and mountain ascents throughout New Zealand’s North and South Islands.

Learn about native bush and wildlife nestled among a variety of landscapes – glaciers, volcanoes, grassy plains, waterfalls, lakes, vast stretches of ocean and geothermal areas, as well as areas of special significance to Māori, and cityscapes both modern and colonial.
