Summary

In 2024, my final year of college, I've participated in the Mount Aspiring College hostel programme. Located in Wanaka, this involves living with 29 other students, (6 in my house) in a simulated flat environment. On the weekends we explore different outdoor pursuits such as tramping, kayaking, rock climbing, ect. During the year in hostel, I've made incredible friendships and learned how to co-operate effectively with my housemates. My passion for the New Zealand wilderness has grown a lot on our adventures, and I would love to explore more of it.
