What is it about:
Te Araroa is New Zealand’s longest long-distance hiking trail

Paulina Zäck hiked for 54 days, 9 hours, and 48 minutes—that’s how long it took Paulina to cross New Zealand on foot from south to north. Alone. Without support. Carrying 5 kg of gear and with one goal: the Fastest Known Time on the Te Araroa Trail.
An ultramarathon every day: through forests, grasslands, mountains, volcanoes, and countless rivers—in rain and heat, between solitude and freedom.
In her talk, Paulina shares the how and why, her inner monologues, experiences pushing her limits, nights under the stars, mental strength, and the adventure of surpassing herself—what it’s like to rely entirely on herself. And what happens when you just start walking and never stop.
