What your mum said..."Go with passion, and confidence in yourself." That made me cry a bit. I made the decision recently to save hard, and once I had enough, quit my job and go walk the Te Araroa. My mum said she loved the idea too. Thank you for sharing your journey in such a beautiful and artistic way, it's made me even more certain that I'm going the right way.

Just put a fake 20 minute meeting in my calendar to watch this before lunchtime! I'm doing the SI NOBO early next year and am PUMPED!! thanks for the inspiration mate :)

SI? As in the Sentiero Italia? Will you make youtube vids too and can I follow?

Ohhh yes! Only by watching this video I now know how much I have already longed for this series. Thank you so much for taking us with you!

Is Elina a filmmaker or is she a poet? So freaking excited that this is finally out!! I now have something to click on with no hesitation!

Elina is a film maker, a poet, a philosopher, an adventuress, a Kiwi, and so much more! 😊 💖 🙆🏻‍♀️ 🌿 👍🏾

14:55 - …”with his organic, vegan, granola aura”. Haha thanks for the laugh. Well done on this first episode 👍

18:43 "Because, nothing" - I love this so much.

What an awesome tribute to your mum, Elina! She and all of us are so proud of your adventures and how you so perfectly articulate them. The good, the bad, the peaceful and the more full on. I am dying to get my hands on the rest of this series.

I LOVED IT

Elina, you capture the whole spectrum of experiences so well with your film making... the mood swings, the people, the views, the sensations you get from the views, self-reflection... I absolutely love it. It's such captivating content

Was so excited to watch this! As always, it is the people, the people, the people

I feel very privileged to watch this before it blows up and everyone gets it in their KZread recommended

Oh my gosh, this almost made me cry. I did some hiking in NZ in my early 20s and now I'm close to 40, married with kids, job, obligations and Lockdown looming behind every breath exhaled. It's been TOO LONG since I've been able to be out on any trail. Can't wait to take my boys out. Elina, thx for reminding me that the world is still beautiful and worth exploring despite everything going on. Take care.

Glad you got some video of your Mom n Dad. Thanks for sharing your adventure with your brand of artistry. Happy trails.

The first thruhiking videos I ever watched were your PCT series, which opened my eyes to a whole world I hadn't known existed. I'm now off to do the TA SI NOBO in February, and it's a good deal due to you - so thanks!

Ive heard of the trail but never knew it was so popular! After hitting a wall and wanting to do more with my life, my name was nominated to go on hiking adventure which involves walking 6 parts of the trail and after a bit of research I came across your you tube channel! Chapter 1 has been a great watch and your style is epic! Im really looking foward to watching the rest and seeing just what im in for! Live life not by the book because when you get older you can always write your own

after watching you PCT series, I’m sooooo looking forward to this series, and it’s slaking my TA thirst until my late November TA start. Just from this one episode it’s clear how you’ve developed as a filmmaker too. The flow and pace are great, and I love the inclusion of the almost-outtakes. The narrative is very natural and in a style that you’re making your own. Nicely shot, well considered, and continuing in the “he tangata” focus you established in your PCT doco. Bring on the rest of it, I’ll be waiting for the KZread notifications.

Everytime I watch an Elina video, another adventure gets added to my list. TA I'm coming for you!

That was such a sweet goodbye with your parents. Choked me up. Made me miss my family. But you soon had me laughing.

I think I've fallen in love Elina:) After the PCT, the TA will definitely be on my list of trails. Please never stop making films.

Oh how I love me a good bedtime story. thanks Elina!! Just dreamy.

What are you guys called: "We are called Noodles for Breakfast" Kiddo: "And we haven't had it for breakfast yet" 😂

Holy moly Elina the way you've captured this experience is beyond incredible, I'm so looking forward to watching more of this series! Thank you

No one captures the expierence of thru-hiking just like you elina. Watching your films make me want to go to film school or something, lol!

I love Abhi. What a chill dude

This video is absolutely beautiful, Elina! Your country looks stunning, the people seem so full of life and positive, and I only dream to complete this trail myself! Can't wait for the rest of this adventure of yours! :) You've got the best backpacking content on YT, your storytelling is second to none! You should do the length of Britain - John O'Groats to Land's End! (or the other way round - which is more common) It isn't a set trail of sorts, but rather using other smaller trails to get from either end. I did it in 2017, N to S, along the North Scottish coast, through the Scottish Highlands on the Cape Wrath Trail, the West Highland Way, through Glasgow and joining onto the Pennine Way, then looping round with the Macmillan Way, eventually finishing with the South West Coastpath. Was 1,450 miles for me. It'd be so different, and our British weather always takes the piss! xD

I CAN'T WITH THE LORD OF THE RINGS REFERENCES AND MUSIC- also i cried when you said bye to your parents, they are so cute

I have to apologize to miss Osborne for waiting this much for finally watching Chapter 1 & 2 of this masterpiece, thank you, as always for living and telling experiences on behalf of all of us that can’t, we salute you

your video is something that people can not forget about and it was great to see more of it . love the way you do .

Lush. The land, the music, your voice -all in harmony.

THIS! I, and the World perhaps, have needed this so desperately, longed to live vicariously through your adventures again, ached to be immersed in the beauty, the cinematography, the richness of your storytelling, the essence of the moments captured and presented so genuinely. Why am I suddenly craving peanut butter!??

Been looking forward to this one, but need to save it until after work! Well, maybe I can watch it in my lunch break, or maybe with mid-morning coffee. Yup, that sounds like a plan...

Your videos are so zen - your voice- your insight into it all and the photography captured are just so calming for the soul. Like forest bathing from home. Looking so forward to experiencing this from the other side of the world.

A true story teller tells us what lies inbetween. . Boom!! And their you go. Once more your on it. What, a star you are

Yeeeeew! You beauty Elinda 😜 So bloody excited to see your magic rolling out, and, ya know, more than a trifle delighted to make an appearance. Kids so stoked! Love ya beauty xx

Super Uplifting 😊 thanks for the tunes Elina x ... and how lucky are we to share the planet with dudes like Abhi 😁😎

WOW - I am crying! So touched by your video! 🌟🌱

❤ your storytelling ability in word and picture.

Loved the part with you and the horse. Such a peaceful experience, can only imagine this made you feel.

This was be far the most inspiring video I've ever seen on YT. It made me smile, it made me laugh, it made me think. Could not be better.

Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. It's beautiful.

I really like how you let the people you meet speak for theimselves, but also how the y tell the story of Te Araroa. I really want to do it myselve some day.

Beautiful Elina! You capture the wairua (spirit) of the land and it’s people.The narrative of your journey through it and yourself is a delight. Keep going with the unfaceable mountain of a mission that is editing. Like eating an elephant…. One bite at a time. Thank you for your gift today. Arohanui

Wow! Beautiful film making. Your gift ❤️. Looking forward to more.

Utterly charming how you draw us into your magical world, Elina.

Those kids at the end...❤ and that Abhi knows what he's talking about aye!

Yay! Can't wait for more. I really admire anyone that can do that AND regularly walk back for the camera!

13:55 I used to own the property Abhi is on! Amazing place, amazing locals, very spiritual. Awesome to see a glimpse of my old place 😍

Yesss. So stoked for this series!

Dammit Elina! And just like that I'm addicted to another one of your walks! Love it!

“I can see myself.” “I can see MYself” - so much more meaning than those two kids realize. Elina, from a dark basement in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, you made my treadmill run so much better. Thank you.
