The program that I last participated in with AUIP was the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.auip.com\/newzealand\">New Zealand<\/a> course on the South Island in May.<\/p>\n<p>What first inspired me to travel with AUIP was the solid fact that they were going to New Zealand. The country is a place I had always dreamed about visiting and when I was given the chance to travel there I jumped on it.<\/p>\n<p>During my exploration of New Zealand with AUIP\/Lions Abroad as my guide, I underwent life-changing experiences that I never thought possible. While not only learning about the unique wildlife found on the South Island, I also studied the government, history and issues dealing with sustainability that New Zealand faces. I completely submerged myself into the country, learning more information than I ever would have traveling on my own.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1285\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/auip.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/08\/alyse-horn-on-fox-glacier1.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-1\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1285\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1285\" title=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/auip.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/08\/alyse-horn-on-fox-glacier1.jpg?w=225\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1285\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alyse on Fox Glacier<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Since I\u2019ve returned from New Zealand, I have already convinced two friends who are engaged to spend their honeymoon in the South Island.
