Just a Girl with Some Stories
I really am at a loss for words about my time spent in the south Pacific. I had written a rather long post summary about my time in Aotearoa New Zealand, but I have now opted to go with the classic, simple summary. Easier said than done. As I flew out of Auckland and drove …
