The flight is booked, the visa is in, the fees are (mostly) paid, andddd I leave Canada on February the 16th. Flying from Ottawa to Vancouver, Vancouver to Sydney, Australia, and then on to my final destination, Wellington, New Zealand. The total travel time from departure to arrival is.... 36 hours. The flight from Vancouver to Sydney alone is 15 hours. Now please don't think I'm complaining, I'm simply concerned with my own welfare (and that of the passengers around me). Because if any of you have ever spent any time around me, you know that I don't take being still, quiet and contained very well. And, perhaps more to the point, if you have also met my father, you know the reason why (love you dad!). But, alas, I will persevere and perhaps get to see Sydney for a few hours between flights.
It is in beautiful New Zealand where I will spend the next ~4 and a half months of my life studying Maori Studies at Victoria University of Wellington. No, I have never been there before, making this all the more fun, exciting and warranting my 'big boots' for the adventure to come.
More to follow when the day draws near!
Looking forward to all of your soon-to-come adventures. So Spicy and exciting! <3
