Winter Break 2024 Participant
The country is so forward in environmental policy and has a large appreciation for the indigenous population which was really cool to see and learn about.

Winter Break 2024 Participant
One thing I learned is that just going exploring and getting to know your surroundings is the best thing you can do, as well as to be careful but not worry so much about getting a little lost or turned around. One of the best things my group did was start walking around and trying to orient ourselves with where we are, as well as practice taking the metro to familiar locations so that when we have free days we would be comfortable taking it longer distances. Doing this at the beginning of our trip helped things to go a lot smoother since we took the time to walk around and even though we risked getting a little lost, by a couple days in we we able to have a good general idea of where we are and what's around us. This really helped when we had to find certain buildings for classes or certain meeting spots for getting back together as a group. It was also a really beneficial thing to do since by the time our free day came, we made plans to take an hour bus ride to the beach and since we had experience going on the bus for shorter distances, we knew how to properly navigate which busses to take to get to the beach which likely saved us a lot of trouble.

I loved getting to explore the culture in New Zealand as they prioritize sustainable living in all aspects of their day to day lives. The wildlife and the hikes were also beautiful. It was the most amazing travel experience i've had so far.
