The Destination is Now

New Zealand & Australia

by Peter Tremain

In The Destination is Now, Peter Tremain reveals the heart of his journey—a life transformed. After retiring from a forty-year career as a pastor and losing his wife, Mary Ann, to Parkinson’s, Peter, at sixty-seven, sets off on a solo adventure through New Zealand and Australia. His path takes him on the Great Walks, through the Snowy Mountains on horseback, and into the vibrant waters of the Great Barrier Reef. Along the way, each experience tests his limits, forcing him to confront grief and discover an unexpected well of strength. As he navigates these challenges, Peter finds himself embraced by breathtaking landscapes and a global community of friends. The journey across New Zealand and Australia marks the beginning of what will become life as a world traveler, allowing him to shed the roles of pastor and caregiver, and unearth new versions of himself—ones full of curiosity, confidence, and a deep readiness to embrace life on life's terms. The Destination is Now is a testament to the power of starting over, showing that no matter the stage of life, reinvention is possible, and the best day is the one you’re living right now.
