Lately, my friends and I have been going on late night adventures to a place called Signal Hill. On a clear night at Signal Hill, you can see every star in the sky, hear every frog in New Zealand, and see every beautiful city light. Here are some photos from last night’s adventure: IMG_3781 –…

Apples, Waterfalls, and Diplomats
It has been a hectic and fun-filled couple of weeks up here in Washington. Time is flying by, the leaves are falling, and temperatures are dropping. Fall is officially here in full swing and I have been hard at work in the office, in the classroom, and most importantly outdoors! In the last few weeks…
Auckland (Stop #2)
After the adventures of Wellington, I got on another flight (which I almost missed) to Auckland! I though Wellington fulfilled the city feeling that I was missing, but man, Auckland is much bigger (still not as big as home cities). In Auckland I stayed with a friend I made during my first week in New…
Wellington Trip (Stop #1)
As classes ended, and exams near, I did the opposite of what every other student at this university was doing and packed my bags to go on yet another adventure. I headed to the North Island of New Zealand for the first time this semester. My first stop was Wellington. Wellington is a city (bigger…
Brisbane and exams- two things that do not go together!
Hello again! After my last post about Thailand, I hate to fool you thinking I am the traveling queen- but yes this post is about my past weekend in Brisbane! Brisbane is a well known city in Australia- full of art, beaches, sunshine, and good vibes. It was a cheeky getaway here with my good…
Episode 3: Adelaide, Melbourne, and Bali Oh my!
G’day mate! It’s been 2 months since I’ve posted. It’s been a busy 2 months and I finally have time to sit here and dump out my thoughts. When I last left off, I mentioned I was going to a boat party on Sydney Harbour. It was awesome! The boat took us around Sydney Harbour, where…
Final Stretch to Home Base
As my time in New Zealand is dwindling down, I have had lots of time in between finals to reflect on these months at the University of Otago. Although I am very open about the struggles I have had here, I believe that everything happens with a purpose or at the very least, one can…
10 Days Left
I am currently 10 days away from my last final and 5 away from my fist. This semester has flew by and I can not believe it is almost over. I have been in full study mode the past week or so it is the only thing that has been on my mind recently. Prior to…
Spring Break and Swimming with Whales
Although this post is a little over due, I had an unbelievable spring break experience in the Kingdom of Tonga which is a small set of pacific islands not too far from Fiji. I went with a few mates from my abroad group and we stayed in a small house, on the main island, in…
Blog Post from Rome!
Ciao! These past two months in Rome have been the best months of my life! Rome is insanely beautiful and exciting. I have really gotten to know the city very well and have become a master at using the rather unorganized public transportation system here. But what really excites me the most is the crazy…
