So as you've guessed from the title it must be the end of my journey in New Zealand and the end of the huge trip I planned all those months ago! I started in India back in July 2013 and passed through so many countries before basing myself in beautiful Aotearoa! The time is coming where I have to leave this amazing place but it's not a sad time because I know I'll be back. I have a lot planned that I am looking forward to and In no time I'll be meeting new people and telling tales of pretty little New Zealand! And I cant wait to tell them everything!
Since coming back to the north island iv had the chance to work in Auckland city and gain a true love for the place which I couldn't quite grasp before! Iv worked with some old friends and trained some new friends through Greenpeace. Iv visited Mount Maunganui one last time and said goodbye to my old friends Midge and Mark, my old Flatties Ross and Kiran and even popped into Barrio Brothers for an epic meal and a goodbye to my old workmates. I climbed the mount one last time and as I drove away from that special place I knew it would be somewhere i would return. I also finished work with Greebpwace after 9 wonderful months and said goodbye to my Auckland family in Mt Eden before I set off!
Iv had the chance to go to the Cosmic forest festival where me and my friends danced the night away to trance music with hippys in the spectacular surrounding, eat amazing falafel burgers, drink chai and attend some amazing mediation workshops. It was an epic experience and something I'll be keen to do again if I find something as cool elsewhere in the world!
The time has come to finish what I started and over the next week I will revisit friends and visit places I missed alo my travels and once iv done that I can say iv seen everything NZ has to offer.. iv literally had the most kiwi experience possible! Tomorrow I will head to the Tongariro Alpine crossing

Tomorrow I will head to the Tongariro Alpine crossing, then on to Wellington, Christchurch, Queenstown, Milford Sound and the famous glaciers. No doubt I will blog one last time before I leave NZ and that will prob be a soppy one while I'm sleeping at the airport or something like that! But for now, watch this space and hold out for some amazing new blog entries to come from other parts of this incredible world, because it won't be long until the 'Journey back to the West' begins!
