Connecting people, places and nature for good

Sarah Bennett & Lee Slater

Travel writers, publishers, sustainable tourism advocates & trails specialists

Travel writing

Connecting people and places through great content. We’ve written for Lonely Planet, Stuff, Tourism New Zealand, Great Rides of New Zealand, Daily Telegraph, the NZ Herald and many more. Our passions include outdoor recreation, food & drink, sustainable travel, history and the environment.

Trails

We live for a great trail. Whether it’s a cycle trail, tramping track, commuter route or local mountain bike park, we can help you grow good trails that everyone will love – locals and visitors alike.

Slow travel

Meaningful, light-footprint travel experiences. We can help you develop slow-travel visitation strategies, and create low-impact itineraries to attract visitors who care about the places they visit, stay longer, and connect with communities and the environment.

Visitor info

Information panels, websites, brochures & maps. Creating meaningful travel experiences relies on local knowledge, good research, inspiring content and clear communication. We produce high-quality travel information for people who want to go deeper but tread softly.

Publishing

Indexing, editorial & production. We love books and have been writing, editing, indexing and publishing them for more than 20 years. Non-fiction specialists, we’ve worked on projects ranging from history and politics to travel guides and cookery books, publishing under our own imprint and with Bridget Williams Books, Awa Press, Otago University Press and others.
