On Janurary 2nd I am going to start my journey around the world, leaving Minnesota's sub-zero temperature for the ozone depleted Southern Hemisphere's hot summer. My adventures will first start in New Zealand, where my friend Ian Nystrom and I will get to know New Zealand's culture through physical labor. We will be working through an organisation called WWOOF (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms), a organisation that allows travelers to experience a non-traditional vacation. We will spend the month of January working on two farms on New Zealand's south island. After January, we will join a group of 26 St. Olaf students in Melbourne, Australia and will begin our environmental science program. We will remain in Austrailia for the remainder of the semester, following the sun as it moves north, traveling up the east coast until the end of May.

Under the Destinations section (to the right) you can view where I'll be throughout my trip. Check it out!
