The Getting Lost Travel Blog
Getting Lost the Travel Blog began in 2014. It was born shortly after Cat and James rekindled their relationship after a 20+ year break.
It was the love child of two people who just couldn’t be more different. James, a Joiner from the Hauraki Plains, was fearless – hunting and gathering, exploring shipwrecks, jumping into hidden water holes and sliding down hills.
Cat, a Strategist in an Auckland Advertising Agency and part time photographer knew a lot of restaurants, was constantly on the hunt for the perfect photo and had an infallible knack for getting lost. Oh and then there’s the 3 daughters they were now trying to bring together.
It was a brilliant, beautiful, messy chaos – full with wonderful exploration and a random adventure of getting lost that started it all. So now they’ve amassed over 200 stories, they’ve built a big, wonderful community who love random adventure too and they’ve created a travel adventure game that’s sold more than 50,000 games around the world.
You can find our latest adventures here or explore by destination below.

Leaping, spinning, swinging, flying at Coromandel Zipline Tours
If I had to use just one word to describe Coromandel Zip Line Tours I’d use abandon. The dictionary says it’s a complete lack of inhibition or restraint and that’s exactly how it felt.
It was like we’d morphed into wood sprites for 2 hours (although maybe it was only the kids who could pass that look off!) skipping or dancing, joyfully through the forest. Worries and caution thrown to the wind, with laughter and cheers carrying each rider along.
