A Kiwi and A Kererū

A place to share our adventures and stories

We are Cohen the Kiwi and Kleo the Kereru. If that’s still not clear, Cohen is the Human, and Kleo is the Bird. Most assuredly real thank you very much!

In February 2022 we set off on a journey of unexpected adventure and excitement spending 9 months in Eastern Europe, making friends, memories, stories, and more. We’ve been sharing these adventures on Instagram and Facebook and over the last couple years have been slowly adding to and building this website.

Since that first jorney we spent some time living in Brisbane, Australia; we then set off through Europe again making our way to Canada for a while before returning again to New Zealand. We’ve been back here for most of a year now and we continue to explore new plans and developments.

This space is still the home for sharing our travels and as of October 2024 is now the place to share our books.

Enjoy the photos, enjoy the stories, and keep an eye out for exciting things to come.

ENJOY THOUGHTS AND PERSPECTIVES

There always a lot of things to talk about so take it easy and hopefully be entertained.

COME AND JOIN, SHARE YOUR OWN THOUGHTS.

We always like to learn new things about the world, and other people, so share and get involved in the conversation.

You might not have seen much from us recently. That’s mostly been to give us some time to focus on things that were wrapping up, so that we can then spend more time on the things that matter like the book and our adventures. But don’t worry! Just because you haven’t seen much doesn’t mean we haven’t been doing much. A few…

  • The Kererū Almanac – Summer 2026

    The Kererū Almanac Summer 2026 – Issue 4 Seasonal musings, notes from the journey, and a peek into the world of Cohen & Kleo. Happy New Year! It’s 2026, and it sort of feels like it snuck up on us. Did it just occur to us today that we hadn’t done the next issue of this newsletter? Yes, yes it did. But we are here now, and that’s the important bit. The end of 2025 brought a lot of busy moments and some great time with family and friends. We also (mostly) took a break, heading up to Tauranga…

  • The Kererū Almanac – Spring 2025

    The Kererū Almanac Spring 2025 – Issue 3 Seasonal musings, notes from the journey, and a peek into the world of Cohen & Kleo. Thanks for joining us for issue 3 of our little newsletter sharing our Cohen and Kleo updates. (How long can we keep saying little?)The Winter chill has been keeping us tucked away but now the sun is shining more and the days are warming up. We’ve been focussing on what it means to move forward on this project. How do we bring the stories to life? How do we share them…
