I made it a point to take advantage of every moment I had left abroad, and that meant traveling every single weekend I had available. I reckon that is what studying abroad is all about, right? Well, not entirely, of course the main event is education. However, it is not only that but also what I am getting out of my experience, and that is experience.
Experiencing the Moeraki Boulders.

I like to think that I am a collector of experiences, not things.
Stay tuned for my final blog post but not my final adventures.

Jami Weinstein
<p>Hey there! My name is Jami Weinstein, I am from the north suburbs of Chicago and I am a junior majoring in speech language pathology at Indiana University! I am thrilled to be sharing my study abroad experience from across the world, behind my camera, in Christchurch, New Zealand. When I snap a photograph, I feel as if I have jumped into a whole new perspective of life, and to me, words can’t explain a single moment, but a photo captures a story. Follow along on my journey as I make the moments count. Adventure awaits!</p>
