Create or print a map of Aotearoa/New Zealand and highlight places that you connect to. Maybe these special places are where your tīpuna (ancestors) or whānau are from, or somewhere that you have had a wonderful holiday, maybe you have just heard stories about them and wish to visit one day.

Read the book ‘Aroha Knows’ by Rebekah Lipp and Craig Phillips (Wildling Books) and discover the places that are special to Aroha. These are places that she feels free, connects with nature, enjoys being alone, or enjoys spending time with friends. Think about why each place is special to her and then think about places that you connect with and why they are special to you.

To show these connections on the map you could draw pictures, glue photos or pictures from magazines, or write words. Be creative and make your map beautiful!

Challenge: Take this activity a step further! Make a poster, website, piece of art, or video to tell your friends about a place in Aotearoa that is special to you.

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
