I took a vacation to New Zealand in October 2022 to participate in the Women’s Rugby World Cup that was scheduled to take place in 2021 but was postponed. Along the way, different plans fell apart and I ended up on the vacation alone, but still had a number of memorable adventures and experiences, and made new friends along the way as well.
“Waiho i te toipoto, kaua i te toiroa:
Let us keep close together, not far apart.”
