Part 05 | The freedom to travel
I knew I wanted to explore this country in a different way, not only taking a plane and going to tourist places, so I decided to buy a Van and start a new project, a Youtube Channel @marisaarl, where I share my experience with others, and encourage them to follow their dreams the same as I do. I live in my Van, and I move around New Zealand, exploring places that are not on the tourist map. And I love it! I can't imagine doing anything else, and I am so grateful for everything that has happened on the road.
Nature here is so different from anything I had ever seen before, it's like another world. In my videos on YouTube, I share all the places I have visited, from museums to unbelievable landscapes. I can tell that one of my favorite places on earth is Rotorua, NZ. It's a small city located in the North Island, and it's famous for its geothermal activity. You can see and smell the sulfur everywhere, and it's just so much fun, you feel like you are in Jurassic Park. You can watch the video here – HELL'S GATE | my fav place in the world.
My time in New Zealand has been great so far. I've met some wonderful people from all over the world, and I've learned about the Maori culture, which is the native culture of New Zealand. My eyes see the beauty in every single person, we are all different but we are all equal. I love the smell of fresh rain in the air, listening to the birds singing, and I enjoy the cold weather here, even though I complain a lot!
