For Liam, the outdoors is more than just a playground. He’s passionate about the resilience, mental strength, and perspective it brings to people’s lives. Mentorship is a driving force for him"
- Austin Rogers, Founder of Rooted Life Adventures
About NZ Program Instructor | Liam Trevena
Liam grew up in Perth, Western Australia, where his childhood was shaped by camping, fishing, and endless days exploring the outdoors. Adventure has always been a part of his life. Over the years he has travelled extensively across and around Australia, Europe, Asia and North America, and spent time discovering New Zealand’s South Island.
Moving to New Zealand in 2024 was a chance for Liam to grow and take on new challenges. Since arriving, he has trained to be an outdoor guide through Pure Exploration NZ and also worked with AJ Hackett Bungy NZ and at Coronet Peak Ski Fields. He has immersed himself in the adventure culture of Queenstown. On weekends you’ll find him out climbing, tramping, skiing, or paragliding — chasing the mountains in every season.
Mentorship is a driving force for Liam, and when he isn't on program with Rooted Life Adventures or outdoor guiding elsewhere, he is working towards joining Land Search and Rescue (LANDSAR) where he can support the wider community. Liam has learnt a lot on his own journey of growth, making him a great mentor for others who are defining and working towards their own goals.
