The work was rewarding

New Zealand is incredible. I am loving every moment, especially the conservation. The people that I met on my short time on the trip became a little Nz family to me and I’m very sad to be going. The work was rewarding, fast paced and fun but the other activities and fun days we also did make it completely worth it! Living in a house with just other volunteers was daunting at first but it was a really fantastic expensive and I have made some lifelong friends and memories. Many thanks for all your help!

I have never seen such amazing stars as I did

We did everything from removing invasive plants to planting seedlings. It was a great chance to explore Christchurch & help at the same time. The following week we drove to Punakaiki where we planted some 600 trees. We were right on the beach and I got a chance to run a couple miles and jump in the ocean right after volunteering was over. I have never seen such amazing stars as I did while I was there. It felt as though you could pluck them out of the sky. Thanks for helping me put all of this together
