Escape. We all need to do it and there is nothing better for the soul than an adventure in your backyard or, better still, some new country. If you look through the eight years of Box of Light (yeah, we turned eight last month) that's mostly what we're about. Screeds of photos celebrating the moments where people connect with the natural world in all kinds of inspiring ways.
That's what spins our wheels. And so we're very excited to announce that Box of Light has partnered with House of Travel to bring us all more opportunity to explore our favourite surf destinations. The team at House of Travel are full-on travel addicts and they have a team who know how to make sure your surf trip features maximum water time with only the best quality experiences in between. They're specialists in group and family travel, but knowledgable enough to tailor your perfect surf mission together.
We're mostly intrigued by surf missions through the Pacific, Indonesia, Bali and strike missions to the East Coast of Australia and House of Travel has its fingers on the pulse of the best flights and accommodation packages in all those places. We've convinced them to extend their special offers to the Box of Light readers ... you can see the House of Travel Surf packages right here. We'll update those throughout the year, so keep an eye on their new deals.
Right now, it's time to gather a bunch of mates, or your family together and make sure your 2020 winter has an adventure smack bang in the middle of it. That's what we're going to do.
See you at the beach ... Derek
PS We'll have a small break from Otago's coastline next week as we head to New Zealand's winterless Far North. It has been about 20 years since I photographed Shippies or any of the east coast bays, so here's hoping we encounter a decent swell ... or two. Send us good vibes. Now, where are my jandals ...
