Adventure travel as it should be.

VLOG#5: The latest from Ethan and the team... Make yourself a cup of tea and settle in for this epic adventure.. Week 5 of the Adventure Guide Internship! This round we cover a few days of anchor building in Wanaka before heading back into the beech forest of Mount Aspiring National Park. We tackle the spectacular Wilkin-Young loop, crossing the Gillespie alpine pass, and finishing with an unexpected helicopter ride out of the bush. Wooooo! https://www.pureexploration.nz/about/news/vlog-5/

Alumni update - Dana Ester from the US We love hearing from our Pure Ex alumni on what they are up to now. It's definitely our goal to make a positive impact in people's lives and hopefully also set them on a trajectory of achievement and good times! We were so stoked to hear Dana Ester (Adventure Guide Internship Sept 2017, Queenstown NZ) is doing so well. Dana was happy to share her update here: https://bit.ly/2HDGgxE
