Hello friends, neighbors, loved ones, and all possible combinations of the three! Many have asked me to start a travel blog about New Zealand, so here we go! Over the next seven months, this will be the place where I post all about New Zealand adventures, experiences, and -occasionally- shenanigans.
(note: I have never been a blogger, so a big shout-out THANK YOUUU to Jenna Finch for all her help setting up!)

As I am still in beautiful CA until February, here's some fun facts about my destination (as I can't post any cool stories just yet!):
I will be studying Psychology and Women/ Gender studies at the University of Otago, located on the South Island in Dunedin. 
(If you look on this handy dandy map on the left way down to the bottom on the right, you'll spot it.)
Dunedin is the second largest city on the South Island, and is a leap, skip and a jump away from neat cities such as Christchurch, Wanaka, Wellington and Queenstown - home of the world's oldest bungy jump! (Will I actually summon up the courage to do it? Time will tell! Stay tuned!)
Here on the right is my home University for the coming Semester - Otago! I will be living in Flats nearby provided by the school with a kiwi host and two other international students: one from Washington, and one from Norway! I've been in contact with my kiwi host who seems extremely fun, and has already taught me a valuable lesson - nobody says "see you later alligator": in NZ. Luckily, she's offered to teach me some new catch phrases. Sweet As!
Needless to say, I am bursting with excitement about this new, upcoming adventure. Love to all, and thanks for reading! E noho rā (goodbye, my friends!)
Always,
Christina
