About Me

New Zealand/Australia
Hi Everyone. I came across a friend who did this and thought it would be a good way to keep everyone up-to-date on what I'm doing. If you dont already know, I am a sophomore at the University of North Dakota, but I will be spending my spring semister studying abroad. The program is called the Pacific Challenge and it allows me to spend 5 weeks in New Zealand and 3 weeks in Australia. I travel the entire time, moving every 1-4 days, and stay in hostels, luxury apartments, and camp. I decided this was the best option for me because I will see so much of both countrys and get to experience everything I can imagine.

SKYDIVING!!

So we woke up the morning of skydiving, some of us nervous and some just really excited. I think I was a little bit of both. We went to the place and they had us watch a video which got us all really excited! They decided the order according to weight and it turned out I was basically last. I was crazy excited and antsy and could not stand still but the longer i waited I calmed down and we just wanted to do it!! Finally Aussie, Kate and I were called to go. We got suited up and headed for the plane. The way up lasted seemed like forever. At one point the door accidentally opened a little and my automatic thought was o jeez I could fall out, then I was like damn THATS WHAT IM HERE TO DO! AHH! haha So told us we were half way and it was like omg this is only half!! We got to 13,000 feet and I was the first to go! The camera man went out first and climbed on to the top of the plane, then i was out! It went by so fast but it was the best experience Ive ever had. Its nothing like I expected and words cant even describe the feeling, its not scary at all which I thought I would be and the view is amazing and then you just have a casual conversation the rest of the way down! We talked about bungee compared to skydiving, it was amazing!
