The final days

---

---

After living in Auckland for the past 5 years, it is difficult to choose any one thing that stands out for me besides the friendships I have made during that time. The photos shown here depict the events of my last month in Auckland, and the people who I was able to share that with.

I am currently in Thailand spending time with my parents and sister Becca who are living here in Chiang Mai. I head to China soon for a month or so then hopefully on to Burma before finally moving to the UK at the end of August. Thought it might be a good idea to set up a blog to keep up with all my family and friends...
