I'm Ayla 🌞 Earth & Environment major and enthusiastic traveler! New York born German/American with a possible breakfast cereal addiction. It's my first ever New Zealand trip, and I've been having the most wondrously stunning exceptionally amazing time in this beautiful country, filled with so many beautiful people. I really can't wait to see what's in store for my final month here.
