Have a Picnic

Put down a towel or blanket and take some snacks outside. Listen to the birds, watch the clouds, breathe in that incredible fresh air! Share your food with some friends and enjoy connecting with nature and special people.

If you have a forest, or bush area nearby, take your picnic and head there! It’s so magical to sit under a tree canopy and watch birds flitting around while you eat your kai. Check out this Nature Connector for some fun activities to do while watching birds and listening to their songs.

In Japan, it is a tradition to have a picnic with friends and family under the cherry blossom trees when they are blooming. This is called ‘Hanami’. We love making lots of sushi and taking it to eat under the blossom trees with friends in the springtime. If you’re lucky, you might spot tui and bellbirds enjoying the blossoms too.

To encourage friends and family to ditch single use packaging, try hosting a ‘Nude Food Picnic’.

If you want to extend this activity have a game of ‘I spy’ and look closely at the things around 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.
