How do you remember something so great, without forgetting those little moments?

From the moment 22 year old Kristy-Lee Jones booked her historic adventure of Trekking Kokoda in Papua New Guinea, she had decided she wanted to do exactly that. For eight days of the trek, Kristy-Lee put pen to paper and documented the events of each day, the moments that made her laugh, cry, challenge, and push her to mental and physical strengths she never knew she had.

She captures the moments between her two uncles Jim and Andrew, and also Andrew's friend Tim and the group's Trek guide, Tony. From the very first page, Kristy-Lee makes it clear that no words or photos could describe the Kokoda experience—the tranquillity and vibrant colours of the jungle. This raw and honest narration, however, attempts to give insight to those wanting or about to trek Kokoda, whilst acting as a memoir for her family and friends to share.

As you follow her experiences from each day, you are exposed to this young girl's personal life and perspectives, encapsulated through both her words and photos, whilst at the same time being invigorated to start tackling your bucket list of things to do.
