It’s been a week since I got back to the States. I can’t believe that a week ago I was living a different life half way across the globe! It’s bittersweet to be back. On one hand I missed my dog and family so much, on the other I already miss the place that quickly became my second home. I miss the kiwi accent, I miss walking everywhere, I miss the sheep, I miss the cold, I MISS NEW ZEALAND! I can honestly say that studying abroad was one of the best experiences of my entire life. I Look forward to the day where I can go back to the country that I grew to love and pick up where I left off – exploring! How privileged I am to say that I got to spend 5 months half way across the world in the most beautiful country I’ve ever seen. I will miss New Zealand and all the beautiful things it had to offer – but I have a wealth of memories, countless new friends, and a newfound love for Whittaker’s Chocolate to show for it. It’s been a great journey, but sadly, this is the end. Thanks for following along friends!
