So after much delay I have decided to start a blog about my travels in New Zealand, hopefully not to be my last stop. I made the decision to come last August, and it is so surreal that I am actually writing this very post from halfway across the world. It seemed to be just a really great idea when I first planned to come, kinda a vacation from life. Turns out it was the best decision I could have made. I had a lot of anxiety and excitement to come and now that I am finally here I couldn't be more happy with were im at. There is really something thrilling about putting yourself way past your comfort zone and realizing how much the world has to offer if you just make the leap. I have already met many amazing people and seen so many beautiful places, and I know there is only more to come.
"If you are brave enough to leave behind everything familiar and comforting and set out on a truth-seeking journey; if you are truly willing to regard everything that happens to you on that journey as a clue; if you accept everyone you meet along the way as a teacher; if you are prepared-most of all-to face and forgive some very difficult realities about yourself, then truth will not be withheld from you."
