We are extremely excited to announce that Discover Adventure is branching out!
Caty Batten left Discover Adventure in December for New Zealand, where she has been very busy setting up an NZ office. All the hard work has been completed and we are now ready to 'open for business'. You can expect a few Kiwis joining in with our challenges as soon as January 2013. So if you have friends and family in New Zealand why not consider a joint challenge? Imagine climbing Kilimanjaro together or trekking to Machu Picchu!!
Here's the website http://www.discoveradventure.co.nz/
