When your traveling alone for a while and haven’t seen close friends or family in a while, you could have your down days every once in a while. There is also days where you say to yourself: “I wish I could have my family/friends here to see this too.” But its these “up” moments that make you want to keep going and see more. The key is to stay busy. I went to Piha on a pretty lonely day and boy did it blow me away. I went to Piha from Auckland, New Zealand and its about a 45 minute drive west of Auckland. I totally recommend it and would say its worth the drive. Well Piha was one of the spots where you look out and think to yourself: “Wow, I cant believe I’m here.” I know I haven’t seen much of New Zealand yet but I’ve read and seen pictures of nothing but amazing landscapes and scenery. I’m super excited to go explore more. As I make my way down around the north Island and the South Island, I will be posting more must see spots in New Zealand.
