New Zealand looks and seems like somewhere you can just be yourself. I have been dreaming of visiting New Zealand for as long as i can rememeber that is why i am planning on going to school in New Zealand this next coming school semester. I have family that live there and say that New Zealand is the most amazing country and beautiful too. i can not wait until i go. i am even not sure if i will want to come back to the US when i am done with my study abroad program. i hope it is as amazing as everyone says it is. and i am pretty sure it is. i know i will have a blast!

Take a geography lesson before you go. Saying Auckland is part of an Australian country when there could easily ruin your vacation
