Tech in Tauranga: The ultimate digital detox

A content marketing expert with a passion for adventure travel, Lou Burton relocated from the UK to Tauranga Moana with her partner in search of a simpler life and quickly discovered SwipedOn, a rapidly growing tech company.

Lou joined the team as a Brand and Content Specialist and found herself thriving in the relaxed environment. Lou appreciates the collaborative and creative culture at SwipedOn and values the opportunity to work on exciting projects while enjoying a flexible schedule. She encourages tech and content professionals to consider moving to Tauranga due to its rapidly growing tech scene and the unique opportunities Tauranga's culture offers for personal growth and work-life balance.

Lou has built a community in Tauranga through her love for surfing and ocean photography, as well as her involvement in a not-for-profit surf community called One Wave Is All It Takes. She enjoys outdoor activities such as surfing, climbing Mauao, and gathering with friends on the beach or in local coffee shops. Lou has been pleasantly surprised by Tauranga's vibrant creative scene and the welcoming nature of its locals. She continues to embrace the city's relaxed lifestyle and has never doubted their decision to make Tauranga Moana their home.
