Celebrating double digits with another two parter, just got a lot to say I guess 🤷♂️
Listen to ep 10 pt 1 here (playback time 25:35)Listen to ep 10 pt 2 here (16:46)Listen to ep 10 pt 3 here oops I lied it’s actually 3 parts but this one’s really short I just forgot a couple things (3:10)
As mentioned in pt 2: little guessing game is happening. Stats categories will be as follows: 1. miles hiked (approx) 2. bodies of water swam in 3. named peaks summited 4. National parks visited 5. Nights backpacked 6. Nights camped/spent in tent outside of backpacking 6. Huts stayed in 7. Number of personal possessions laid victim to the elements of New Zealand/destroyed 8. Kiwis (bird) seen 9. Times I stalked the van while driving (approx) and 10. Days in New Zealand.
I currently don’t have any of those stats calculated and will likely be doing that on my flight back, so submit your guesses now or after next ep and I will reveal results once I get back home. Winners will be calculated based on how far off total all of your guesses were (I’ll calculate the differences between your guesses and the actual numbers for each category, then add up all those differences to get your total score). Top 3 lowest total scores get a little surprise 🙂 have fun!!
