New Zealand<\/a> has been absolutely amazing! Today we traveled to our last New Zealand city, Queenstown<\/a>. I can’t believe my time in New Zealand is almost over but I am excited to see what Australia<\/a> has in store.<\/p>\n

During our time here I have\u00a0thoroughly\u00a0enjoyed\u00a0learning about the Maori culture and how they prioritize sustainability in their everyday lives. We participated in a service-learning project in Christchurch<\/a>, which was a neat and humbling experience. Working closely with Christchurch locals and helping them make their hometown better even\u00a0in the smallest way was an experience I will cherish forever. I can’t wait to return to Christchurch in the future and see the progress that it will have made.<\/p>\n
