Why not. My first few months here were full of travel, May was my month to take a brief pause, to reflect on all the adventures I&#8217;ve had so far, and I got to explore my city just a bit more. Dunedin is full of tucked away, beautiful spots as well as some amazing mountains with views from a picture book. It&#8217;s safe to say 5 months in this country will never be enough, there is always another place to explore. The more adventures I go on here are without a doubt sparking travel fever. As this was my first major trip to another country, I can&#8217;t imagine coming back home and just staying in one place. I came to New Zealand knowing this would be the start of wanting to travel more around the world, the more people I meet and the countries they come from make me so excited for the future, and working towards accomplishing one day going to those countries!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15126\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15126\" style=\"width: 240px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/letters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_4336.JPG.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-15126 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/letters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_4336.JPG-240x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/letters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_4336.JPG-240x300.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/letters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_4336.JPG.jpeg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15126\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Autumn in the Dunedin Botanical Gardens<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15127\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15127\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/letters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_4236.JPG.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-15127 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/letters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_4236.JPG-300x179.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"179\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/letters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_4236.JPG-300x179.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/letters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_4236.JPG-768x459.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/letters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_4236.JPG-1024x612.jpeg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15127\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sunset over Mt.
