Brando decided to walk around the coastline of New Zealand because he wanted to turn his life around. His life had hit a dead end, he didn't like the life he had and he wanted to find a way out.
This was going be a long journey for him so he brought a map, a tent, a knife, a backpack, a phone and more.
It took him about 600 days just to finish his walk or journey.
In what I've read so far. Bacon and seafood is what it says he has eaten.
After he passed Takaka he came across a river. So he decided to walk pass it because he thought it was shallow enough to walk. He kind of zoned out and didn't realise that as he kept walking it started to get deeper. Because of the weight of his boots and pack he fell into the water and started to sink. He was trying to stay afloat but that didn't last long.
His favourite part of the walk was when he stopped by at Kahurangi Coast. It was his favourite part of the walk because the place was filled with nikau palms. It was a tropical forest where you can see birds and cliffs.
He said the that the Canterbury Coast is one giant cliff. He has been walking at the bottom of it for days. In one of those days he found a sheep that had fallen onto the beach and it was hungry. He felt the same way as the sheep did and decided to help it. He made it a leash and became his companion. He even named the sheep Bettie. They've gotten close until he found alot of other sheep and dropped her off there.
The trip taught Brando that reaching the finish line is not what matters but its mainly the journey thats important.
