Read about the people behind the book

Jandals are iconic New Zealand footwear. Around the world they are also called thongs, pluggers, flippers, flip-flops and slip-slops. They are a staple of the intrepid traveller.

Each year, thousands of young New Zealanders heave on their backpacks and set off on an adventure that will shape their lives. And each day, thousands of young New Zealanders share snippets of their exploits with those back home and those met along the way. Our adventurous and inquisitive spirits, fuelled by the geographical isolation of our upbringing, have resulted in jandal prints all over the globe.

This book collates those experiences through photography and short-stories.

Jandal Prints on the Globe will captivate those who wish to travel, those who have travelled, or anyone who is enthralled by great story telling.
