Siem Reap Siem Reap has been really nice. The markets have so much atmosphere, despite the awful fish smells and peculiar foods hanging from hooks. The night market especially is lovely to walk around, all lit up by fairy lights. It is also really nice to stay in the same place as the other volunteers, as we all go out together for dinner every evening, and spend the weekends either visiting temples, or the villages and lazing by the pool. On my first night,...

Mondul 3 Village New Hope Community Centre is set in a village fifteen minutes away from central Siem Reap, and yet when you arrive it is like stepping into a different world, a world that for me, would be extremely hard to say goodbye to.

Kaikoura Kaikoura, despite being very small is so nice, and there is so much to do!

We were out on the water for 3 hours and not only got to see seals, and so many birds,...

Milford Sound I did a day trip to Milford from Queenstown, as everyone I have spoken to had said you have to see it! It was a 5 hour drive to get there followed by a 2 hour boat ride and then another 5 hours drive back! It was such a long day! We did see some cool things on the way though. We stopped at some waterfalls and did a few walks, and saw some of the most dangerous roads in New Zealand, which are at constant risk of avalanches! We actually saw a few...
