Beauty, adrenalin of New Zealand a great experience
New Zealand was a life-changing experience, a place that inspired feelings in my heart that have never been roused before. Auckland was what I first thought would be the climax of the trip but things only got better from there. I flew to Queenstown, in the southern part of the South Island, and checked into a hostel in the center of the city. Having listened to advice from good friends, I took the plunge and decided to book a skydive.
I woke and my heart throbbed with excitement. At first I couldn’t remember why. It finally dawned on me: the skydive. Fear and anticipation in my heart, I headed to the air field, put on my suit, met the instructor and boarded the plane. Sitting on the aircraft I tried to expel all thoughts and let events take hold of me. Before I knew it the time arrived, and my instructor maneuvered us toward the entrance. This was it! The pinnacle of my experience. In one swift move we were out! Falling to land. There is no sensation like the feeling of air rushing in your face while the ground speeds toward you.
I traveled to Auckland to visit my best friend, whom I hadn’t seen for two years and it was amazing to finally catch up again. New Zealand, the most beautiful country in the world with such beautiful people, made this holiday the best one ever. In addition to the skydive, there were many highlights, including being among the first in the world to see the first sunrise of 2015 at the Rhythm and Vines Festival, wine tasting on Waiheke Island and swimming with a pod of dolphins in the Bay of Islands.
This is one of the reasons I enjoy teaching internationally. I feel very lucky to be in a job that allows me to visit so many wonderful places and to achieve my life-long goals. My New Zealand tan has almost gone, but the memories will stay with me forever.
