About the host
Hosted by Jo
Born and raised on a sheep and beef farm in Gisborne, I've always been drawn to explore beyond our shores. My travels have taken me to over 30 countries, enriching my life with diverse cultures and landscapes. Back home, I balance my love for adventure by hiking New Zealand's iconic Great Walks and working on our family orchard.
