It's colder than I expected, and I love it

Last full day in Hawaii, decided I wanted to go snorkeling again. Water was warm and clear, tonnes of fish and people. Really happy with the camera I bought so far.





Ended up snorkeling on two beaches, the second being Turtle Beach. Locals hate this beach since the people going there are really bad for blocking traffic. I was hoping to see turtles swimming but unfortunately didn't. Water was a lot dirtier here and less pleasant to swim in. At least I got to see the turtles on the shore.










That night, we went out for dinner and watched the new spiderman. The next day was spent packing and helping get the car I used all week ready to sell. My cousin dropped me off at the airport and my next adventure begins. The flight was pretty good. I upgraded my seat to the "extra comfort", gave me way more leg room and it included extras like better food and free movies. I had a nice conversation with the guy next to me which makes me feel a little more confident about going to New Zealand since he mentioned the lack of skilled workers. Once we landed, I was picked up by my Airbnb host. A very nice guy, renting out the extra room in his apartment while his sister is away.










As for what happens now, I spent my first day in Auckland getting a phone and looking into getting a bank account. This will allow me to get a tax number and actually work. After that, I'm hoping to apply to jobs by visiting environmental companies, if not it's to the fields with me.
