Visiting New Zealand has been on my bucket list for over a decade and for Joanna too. We had always talked about someday making a trip but with the chaos of our international relationship and the pandemic and then starting a family… there was just no way to make it happen.

But thats the thing about about a trip like this… if you wait til you’re ready, it may never happen.

Late last November we realized that if we dont find a way to make this trip happen before Zo turns 2 (which increases the flight and travel costs by 33%!) We may never get there…

We had just moved across the country and were low on both time and funds… but we knew we would forever regret if we didnt book the flights… and figure it all out later…
