| | THE TEAM Introducing the team bringing you the 25 Years of Geocaching NZ event. The team is made up of 2 core team members and a number of other helpers and regional representatives, all dedicated individuals, and each with a passion for geocaching and for the New Zealand geocaching community. Over time we will add more team members to this page so that you can get to know the personalities behind this massive event. FUNKYMUNKYZONE  Funkymunkyzone is a veteran of mega event organisation with two successful NZ Mega events under his belt, both having taken place in Auckland, New Zealand, in 2013 and 2022. But aside from being a sucker for punishment, he is a keen traveller and infamous FTF hunter, with just over 14500 geocache finds in no less than 86 countries! Since starting geocaching in 2006, he has hosted many other Events and CITOs, and was the driving force, and cheque book, behind the installation of the GC45 tribute plaque near Rotorua. He has been deliberating about planning this event for at least the past 5 years, originally considering the 20th anniversary of geocaching, but now settling on the 25th anniversary as the right time for Rotorua to shine! JÄGERSMUM  Jägersmum has been geocaching since 2021 and in the years since then has established herself as a creative cache hider, enthusiastic event host and artisan cake maker - those who have attended her events will attest to that for sure! She was a key member of the NZ Mega team in 2022 and was instrumental on the day of the event, ensuring everything ran smoothly. If you ask her, she will tell you she is "just a n00b", but amongst her 650 finds, highlights of her geocaching career so far have included finding geocaches in exotic locations through Asia, and a geocaching trip to the USA and Canada attending a GeoWoodstock Giga event, the 20 years of geocaching HQ celebration event, Geocaching HQ itself, a Project APE cache, and many other amazing sights and places. She is a keen geocache hider and often will drop everything to race out the door for an FTF, along with the boisterous but lovable Jäger. | Proudly brought to you by:  |
