Review

I have been to other countries before, but this by far was the best trip. With the first two weeks being spent in one place, and our project leaders be people who currently live in New Zealand, I was able to learn so much about the culture and land. We spend most of our volunteer days working with different plants, and by the end I was able to name plants, know where they grow best, and what the native people used them for. I know more about plants in New Zealand rather than my own country! The project leaders were very knowledgeable and were able to express a lot of native words that were jun to pick up on. During the next two weeks we got to really see New Zealand and all of its breathtaking landscapes, by traveling up from the bottom of the south island to the north island. We got to experience so many amazing things such as skydiving, hiking, white water rafting, (my favorite) black water rafting, Hobbiton, and so much more! You finally understand why it is considered middle earth, by how beautiful it all is. I had 7 other college kids in my group, and we all had a great time together. I know I have made some life-long friendships through it. If you want to travel, this is a great way to do it!
