Andrew Inspired by Spirit of Adventure

Andrew Inspired by Spirit of Adventure

Andrew Harvey 13Kr made the most of every opportunity, offered on the Spirit of Adventure sailing trip.

 If you believe their marketing, a trip on the sailing ship Spirit of New Zealand is “an empowering and life changing opportunity, a voyage on Spirit of New Zealand will empower you to become whoever you want to be.” The experience is designed to  unlock your potential, learn leadership, courage and resilience. Perhaps the most enjoyable outcome is the life-long friends you make. 

Andrew Harvey 13 Kr had the opportunity to join a 10-day cruise and he found the programme to be everything it claimed it would be.

 Andrew writes.

 My name is Andrew and I was lucky enough to go on the Spirit of Adventure. The Spirit is a sailing ship that travels around New Zealand. I went on a 10-day voyage from Auckland to the Bay of Islands. The best part of the voyage was the rope swing and cliff diving, along with making new friends. The Spirit taught me to make use of my time and give everything a go and to step out of my comfort zone. It was an awesome trip and I would highly recommend it to anyone interested.
