My last trip in New Zealand! 😦 Extremely sad, but it was incredible! 😀
June 9th –
Kicked the trip off amazingly with a train ride with my pal and fellow TEAN’er, Evan from Wellington to Auckland! We left at 7:55 am and arrived around 7 pm. Yeah, it was a long ride but the view of the country side was worth it! Plus, now I can say I have taken a train through the North Island of New Zealand 😀
One of my really good friends from childhood, Megan, is studying abroad in Western Australia this semester while I’m here in NZ. Luckily enough it worked out that she was able to come over to NZ for about a week and we were able to have our very own Middle Earth Adventures!
Kia Ora! (Maori [native people of New Zealand] for, Hello!)
The orientation to New Zealand begins! First off —

Needless to say it gave me goosebumps!
