As a sophomore in college, I had the opportunity to do a study abroad in New Zealand. It was through the Recreation Management Program, which was a dream come true for my adventurous spirit. I spent three months backpacking, surfing, rock climbing, kayaking and biking. I had a couple indoor classes too, but let's be honest, I just wanted to play outdoors! New Zealand was the perfect place to do that, and doing it through a study abroad program provided an affordable way to visit for an extended period of time, allowing me to really immerse myself into the culture and getting to know the people. Every day I dream about returning, and can't wait for that opportunity!
Below are 8 panoramas to inspire you to visit New Zealand. Whether that be through a study abroad Program (or something similar) or through your own means, I promise you, it will be worth it!
