New Zealand, Here I Come!!

Hey there everyone! I'm a student from Regis University in Denver, but I was born and raised in Wisconsin. And now I'll be spending the year in New Zealand at the University of Otago! So here are my adventures...

In Dunedin (and beyond!)

I'm finally in Dunedin! And (almost) settled into my flat, and I love it so far!! I have a roommate from china, two from the US, and my Kiwihost! I've met a bunch of other international students, but not too many kiwis. So far we've been having a great time, as you can see below...


Yesterday, Otago sponsored a train trip to the Taieri Gorge, so we got the chance to go to the countryside, and see some more of New Zealand's incredible beauty!! And we got to see it from this great old train, it was sooo cool! Here's one of my favorite pictures, but it still doesn't do the landscape justice! 


And before we left Rotorua, we went to a traditional Maori hangi dinner. It was delicious!! Even with a fearsome Maori warrior nearby!


Looking ahead, I start classes on monday, and hopefully during the week I'll have time to walk around the botanical gardens nearby, and maybe even do a hike next weekend! I'll be sure to let you all know of course. 
Miss and love you all!
