My Exchange abroad has been a life-changing six months. I have had so many extraordinary adventures that I would never have had the chance to take part in otherwise. But not only have I experienced some unbelievable things, such as rafting the highest
commercially rafted waterfall in the world, and swimming face to face with wild dolphins, it is just as much the little things that made my exchange so memorable. These include walking around town on the weekends with my German and Hong Konganese sisters, going on runs in the redwood forest, or just spending time talking with my amazing international coordinators. The people that I have met and the friends I have made, make New Zealand feel like my second home, and they truly are like my second family. I am sad that my exchange will be coming to an end in less than one short month, but I will cherish the memories and the friendships I have made forever, and I can't wait to see what opportunities this experience opens up for me in the future.
