  • Summary

  • Kirianna Poole, author of The Slow Road, grew up on the East Coast. After living overseas in Australia and Japan, she brought her family of 5 to New Zealand to live on the road in their 1964 VW Kombi and caravan. Kiri shares all about the 18 month journey across the North and South Island. Kiri talks about her three favourite locations, favourite campsites and why they are so special and memorable for the family. Living in a 1964 Kombi also has its challenges, and she shares about an incident in the Homer Tunnel. Kiri and her family still live on the road, shipping their Kombi to Japan and Hawaii, and then to the rest of the world.
