By far one of the best parts about New Zealand is that you can find yourself on a beach- by accident.
In our attempts to find a local craft fair (which obviously was not very substantial, seeing that it merited no photos), my friends and I stumbled upon an adorable little community, in the suburbs of Auckland, nestled on quiet community beach.
The beach was beautiful and it was such a pleasure to people watch the locals enjoying just another Saturday morning at the beach.

Chapman and I am a junior at Washington University in St. Louis studying to be a High School Math Teacher. On campus you can often find me singing with my a capella group, baking, tutoring or catching up with friends. I am a mid-western girl who loves home, but is thrilled to be on my own big adventure in New Zealand! I love being outside, soaking in the beauties of natures, and getting to meet amazing people from around the world. I cannot wait to take a little piece of Kiwi culture back home with me.</span></p>
