Hello, & Welcome,

My name is Samantha.  When I was a student of Communication and Anthropology I had the pleasure of  visiting New Zealand and Australia twice and this is an ethnographic web diary of my travels.   In this site I recorded my experiences with people, culture, and nature during my trips in 2016 and 17.  Please enjoy this journal.

Trip 2: To be a Wellington Resident

I loved it so much....I went on a new Adventure! 

​Between February and July of 2017 I got a second opportunity to spend an in depth, 6 months in New Zealand going to Massey University of Wellington!

This portion is clearly still a work in progress, but as I update it I'll be informing people on my facebook page!
