Getting Settled

So I wasn't too good about setting this blog up when I first got here, so I have a lot to write about and im sure I will leave out a million details. So here we go..I arrived in Wellington, New Zealand on the 19th of March after probably the worst traveling experience of my life. I thought tricking the airport company by cramming everything into my carryon, which they don't check the weight, was the sneakiest idea. Needless to say the real joke was on me who had to lug a 33lb bag around the world along with the 3 coats that wouldn't fit in my luggage and my "small" personal item that really was not so small. Seeing that I was short on space I also had to wear my boots which later on decided to give me blisters which only added to this splendid flight. On my first flight to LA Venus Williams was on it which hey was pretty cool. On the other hand the obnoxious man behind me that only talked about how he can't sleep on planes had well that same effect on me, not sleeping.Thanks man. After many hours, 26 to be exact, of carrying my life around I finally made it to the land of the kiwi! I got to my flat which is pretty nice but nothing spectacular and got situated. The rest of the week I spent exploring Wellington and getting settled in. Such a cool city I love all the shops and cafes that clutter the streets. By far my favorite place though is down by the water. You can see all the surrounding mountains, water for miles, and the coolest houses that clutter the sides of the hill which are so impressive. 
One day, one day I will have a house like one of those. A girl can dream. I love living in the city, but I do miss my car ha, walking the hilly streets can get pretty annoying, but after awhile you get used to it. All in all I am loving it here!
