Farewell New Zealand!

This is it. I sit in my nearly empty room, suitcases packed, ready to turn my flat key into the office in the morning. 4 months of a life changing experience has flown by, and now its time to go home. How crazy is that?! 4 months of living in this beautiful country, surrounded by amazing people.

I just wanted to say thank you to all of the great people of 378 Leith for making this a truly memorable experience. You guys made this home away from home so great, and I had such a great time meeting all of you, and hope to see some of you in the future!

Another thank you to my ISA family - I really felt like we all bonded so much right when we landed in Auckland, and you wonderful people made the transition to New Zealand that much easier. I was so afraid of traveling in this group of people that I didn't know, but you were all so welcoming! And let's not forget all of our great moments with 'Dad' and Momma Dee!

A big thanks to Erin, Jordan, Caitlin, Max, and Aneka for being the best kiwi hosts ever! You guys really opened all of us up to the culture of New Zealand, and made sure we felt at home in the complex. I'll miss our movie nights, and being able to barge into your flats and eat dinner with you guys! 

A shout out to Orla and Molly - thanks for letting me tag along on your adventures and being part of your squad! You two made my days so fun, even when we were lazily lying about watching movies all day. Hopefully I'll see you guys in Nashville!

There are tons more people I want to mention in this post like Dimitri, Evie, and Joana for being such great, wonderful people, and for being there to geek out with (shout out to Evie!), but it's getting late and I have to be up early for my flight! 

This is my last post, and I just wanted to say what a wondrous adventure this has been. I don't know when, but I'll be back for you New Zealand! 
I sure will miss the New Zealand sunsets
