Want to meet?!
Hey Chad, You keep on posting great stories on this site!! So I decided to come over to New Zealand as well!! No kidding, My boyfriend and I have won a scholarship which starts with a week in New Zealand at 3 March! And of course we take a 2 week holiday after that as well. Let's keep in contact (if you guys want to), maybe you like it when we join you during one of the hikes. We'll be somewhere in between Christchurch and Picton for the scholarship. Just let me know if you like the idea!! Cheers!! Djûke and Henk (from the Netherlands of course)
