Well it’s official. I booked the one way ticket to Auckland, New Zealand. It was only $529 so I kinda had to jump on it.
Not sure how to really plan for the great unknown. It sounds silly to plan for anything in the future, especially a future in a faraway land. YOU GUYS! In four months I will be rogue to the states of America!
Trying not to think too much about that last thought. So in the meantime, I am pulling together resources and questions.*
