What most intrigues and excites you about the Aotearoa/New Zealand study abroad?
I keep getting told it’s a beautiful country by my parents so I am genuinely motivated to see this. I feel I don’t have as big of an understanding of outside cultures. This will also be the furthest west I’ve traveled from the US.
What is the most meaningful idea you’ve discovered or learned about Aotearoa/New Zealand so far?
They have a huge culture based around oneness within their community. I love their method of greetings and welcoming aura.
For me, the Aotearoa/New Zealand abroad is an opportunity to … develop my skills in being a global citizen and videographer and enrich my understanding of the world.
