When I graduate I want to go into the international tourism market and help people plan trips that they want to do.

I've made a lot of friends and there's so much do to outside in my free time in Queenstown.

My parents are pretty happy that I've found something that I will actually like doing everyday! And that it could take me to some pretty cool places around the world.
