I’m home…or at least I’m in America

Sometimes I wonder what home really means…is it really where the heart is? or is it the place that we spend the most time, were born…or is it the place where our closest and most meaningful relationships are in closest proximity to us.

Goodbye Dunedin for now…hello Christchurch

Just finished moving up to Christchurch today with an epic road trip with Dylan Jones and Joel Barlett…which consisted of rocking out on the elephant rocks (get it…haha) and shaving my head down a buzz cut – no more mohawk. Now I’m just waiting for the snow to arrive. Mt. Hutt has officially opened with [...]

To those who have left new zealand…or that i have left ever before…

The last few days have been quite bittersweet to say the least. I finished my exams on Wednesday and now I am free from academics until school starts in late August…huge sigh of relief.
