Working holiday

With or without economic crisis I love traveling.

I am from Chile and from Early 2000 Chilean people started to know more and more about Working Holiday visas in New Zealand.

I didn’t make a single plan before coming to NZ, for me this one would be a new adventure, and I wasn’t wrong, it was.

Winter is making its way to Auckland. I could totally tell this morning when I woke up to come to reception.
