WE’RE JASON AND NIKKI WYNN. A couple of modern-day documentarians, perpetual travelers, and seekers of tall tales.
We’ve been chasing our curiosity around the world on wheels and keels since 2011. Why? Because curiosity is the key to unlocking life. It pushes us outside our comfort zone, softens our assumptions, and helps us embrace the great unknown. The more we let our curiosity lead the way, the more we discover about ourselves and the world around us.
Our home is also our transportation and we spend weeks away from civilization and sometimes land. Self-reliance and living a sustainable lifestyle are a must. It's all about managing our resources and we’re always looking for new and better ways to do so.
We've lived off the grid for over 10 years now in everything from a Van to RV to a Sailboat. And over time we have learned a lot about renewable energy, creating safe drinking water, and managing our waste.
Our journey is ever-evolving but the mission remains the same: #CultivateCuriosity

Love your latest adventure. I grew up in Auckland and spent many weekends on the coromandel peninsula as a teenager. If you get the chance I my personal choice for the most beautiful place in Coromandel is the Kauaeranga Valley. It is just below Thames and it is an old gold mining and logging valley. The road goes to the Pinnacles an is an awe inspiring place. When I was a teenager the road had a gate on it and was very rough now the is a sealed road and a beautiful visitors centre. In my not so humble opinion one of the most beautiful places in New Zealand.

Omg! Jason never disappoints with his beautiful videophotography! But even more that touched my heart was 2 things: 1 your new forever friend who gave his tender ride, his home, and his amazing vehicle, and 2 the change of heart of wanting your own heated pool, and instead doing a community pool. Your videos always teach us about life, and so proud to be part of that!❤❤

Jason, you & Nikki are so lucky to enjoy the most beautifull-est places, & meet the most wonderfullest people. I'm so happy for you both. My favorite part was Jason hoisting Nikki up out of the hole on the beach. You two are awesome! Have good week.

Thanks again for taking the time to make these amazing travel journals where we can all share your experience. Your video diaries of your life are truly wonderful and touching. Both of you do a terrific job of finding the both the natural and customary beauty in everything you encounter. Your talent and skill as cinematographers has grown and developed profoundly. Your work is compelling in so many lovely ways. I will probably never make it to new Zealand - so I am very grateful for these beautiful glimpses of the environment there. Stay safe and keep enjoying the moments.

In other news, New Zealand is a group of islands! 😂 Love how the first thing Jason did on land was go on the Internet for a fast connection to download...he's got his priorities straight. What a gorgeous and eventful day! You working together with the locals shows the power of community and why it's important now more than ever to work together for a better future

You piqued my Curiosity so I looked online and found out that if you dug a hole straight through the Earth to the other side of the planet from almost anywhere in the US, Canada or Mexico, you'd end up in the ocean between Africa and Australia. In fact, dig a hole through the Earth from dry land anywhere on Earth and chances are you'll end up in the water so be sure to wear your bathing suit, and bring along Curiosity.

After ALL the boat chores and no free diving, we are so glad you could enjoy a day like this because we know from our experiences that these days don't happen all that often, though when they do, you just want to soak in EVERY moment of it because it's soooooo magical and all you have been dreaming of while you were doing all those boat & life chores...

Silver gulls are found in Australia, New Zealand, and the French island of New Caledonia, but the red-billed gull subspecies is found in just New Zealand. Its Maori name is the tarāpunga or akiaki
