First and foremost...thank you! Thanks for following me and commenting on whatever crazy antics I could get up to. It truly was my life line and your time made the biggest difference to me and continuing to explore.
I am in Vancouver now and am feeling completely overwhelmed with everything. Where I've been, what I've seen, who I've met and most of all who I've become.
I have a return ticket to Auckland and will be heading back down on the 15th of May. I am so excited to start a whole new chapter of my life. It is so scary and intimidating but I can hardly wait for it to start! I'm currently living by these words...
Do what makes you happy, Do it with who makes you happy. Do it for you and no body else, no matter the grief or how hard it might be.
You are the only one that can do this for you and if you don't fight for you no one will fight for you.
You will only ever measure up to you. It is irrelevant what someone else thinks or has done before. All the answers you are looking for will be found within. Take the time to look inward, you will find what you are looking for. Think about where you want to be, then pick a path to get you there. This is easier said then done, like most things in life.
I love you all and so excited to actually talk to you and see you in person! Talk to you all soon!!
Much love and gratitude as always

Lake Taupo
It has been a quick shot from Wellington up to Auckland. We stopped one night in Lake Taupo which I visited with Nick so there wasn't much else to see there. Had a movie night and an early turn in to be ready to go at 9 the next morning.
On the drive from Taupo to Rotoroura we stopped at the geothermal mud pools and watched them bubble for a bit. Then we headed to Matamata which is also known as Hobbiton which I also visited with Nick. I am happy to be heading straight back up to Auckland cause its hard to keep my eyes open when the bus starts moving. The days are long with bus rides and they exhaust you a silly amount! It doesn 't help that I go out some evenings and do lots of activities while I'm in a place.
Now as far as the daredevil adrenaline junkie activities go uncle Frank, I any afford them. I would have liked to do a swing or do some canyoning but err activity costs upwards of $200 and that is WAY out of my budget. That's the problem with livin it up down here...you need to have the cash to support the cause. Hostels are $28 a night, meals a day are somewhere around $10 or $15 and that's buying groceries and making every meal. Drinks at night if I feel I can afford will run about $5-$8 a glass. Needless to say I've spent the most money on activities and gettin or and seeing as much as possible rather then booze or activities that last for 5min. One day though....I will jump out of a plane!
