We went on an adventure in search of a seal colony along the shore of Kaikoura on our summer trip to New Zealand. This small seafood town was definitely a favorite of ours because of its unique pebbly, rocky beaches and the friendly community. After nearly getting mauled by an angry seal and watching a sheep sheering, we strolled back to town as the sun set through the clouds and over the calm sea and pastel mountains.




Laura and Claire have been best friends for over 16 years and have found a true passion for traveling the world! We also share an enthusiasm for photography and adventure. 



Wow spectacular photo! I love it. One question though – what is the little orange thing bobbing in the water? I couldn’t figure it out.
Thank you, John! :) I think it might just be a buoy.. but I’m not positive.
This is such a gorgeous shot! I’m going stir crazy waiting to travel these days (2 months left b4 I hit the road) and these lovely types of pictures keep excited every day.

Thanks Nomadic Samuel! We feel your pain… being in college really only gives us a couple breaks and a few months in the summer to travel. Photos and stories of people’s travels and our past trips keep us excited :)
