Ruahines Expedition https://journals.worldnomads.com/bevanwhittleston/ Sun, 26 Apr 2026 02:48:55 GMT World Nomads Adventures I'm a 19 year old photographer from Napier, New Zealand. My love for photography started with dad's cameras, I'd use them to capture landscapes and sports that I liked. Up until April, I was at University studying Medicine. I thought that it was what I wanted to do in life, but as it went on, I realised I didn't have the passion for all it entails. I've been into biking for 7 years, and started to pay attention to amazing photographs of places to ride all over the world, all of the bright cultures and locations. I decided to leave, and bought a Canon 70D, which I still use. I've always wanted to travel the world, I've been to the UK and Australia, but they aren't too different from New Zealand. I wanted to see places and cultures that aren't hugely influenced by Western culture, and the wildlife these places have, which are greatly different to anything I have seen here. As I've gotten further into photography, I've realised that there are so many interesting things to experience, some of them are a once in a lifetime opportunity. Travelling to the Amazon would be one of those opportunities. It would also give me insight into the direction of my life, and skills to take with me. https://journals.worldnomads.com/bevanwhittleston/photos/52005/New-Zealand/Biking-expedition-into-the-Ruahines Travel New Zealand bevanwhittleston https://journals.worldnomads.com/bevanwhittleston/photos/52005/New-Zealand/Biking-expedition-into-the-Ruahines#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/bevanwhittleston/photos/52005/New-Zealand/Biking-expedition-into-the-Ruahines Mon, 24 Nov 2014 09:34:24 GMT 0
