About Dua

Who is Dua?

My name is Dua and I started exploring New Zealand in my early years at University. Despite growing up in NZ, I didn’t travel much or even get into hiking until I was 20 years old. As a broke student wanting to travel on a budget, I found ways to make travel work for me. Today I’ve explored many parts of New Zealand with no plans to stop! 

I’ve explored mountain ridges, camped amongst the Southern Alps and found the best fishing spots and roadie stops. And the best part is, you can do it too!!

You can browse my articles and guides here or check out the resources on my social media platforms (@duadiscovers). I love my backyard and am sure you will love it too! Which is why I am dedicated to helping everyone explore NZ like you’re a local by sharing all the hidden gems, local secrets and bucket list activities.
