I'm on a second gap year - WHVer in NZ.
I love to go with the flow to see the world's beauty and meet exciting souls. I believe life is about creating stories on the road！
For me, travel is not just about sightseeing and taking pictures; it is more about meeting people and learning about different cultures.
