Hey guys, had to relocate the website in order to post these slideshows..... the first one is of my trip to New Zealand. I joined a tour and we drove all over the South Island and were blown away by the stunning scenery. Everywhere we looked there was beauty..... from snow-capped mountains, rolling green hills, to blue glacier lakes. I had an amazing time and made lots of new friends as well.

The second slideshow is of my trip to Melbourne. I went with two of my friends here in Brisbane and we drove the Great Ocean Road for 2 days. The highway goes along the ocean with beautiful cliffs and crystal clear water. We saw lots of koalas in the wild, and actually almost ran over 2 of them!!! Somehow I can't envision koalas as roadkill though..... weird. Anways, we had a wonderful time and ended up in Melbourne to tour around the city. It is a wonderful place to be, there is always something to do there.... from art exhibits, shows, gardens, or nice walks along the Yarra River. There is a free city tram that goes to all the tourist spots so we didn't miss anything! We even got to meet up with my friend Ryan from Kansas. '

The third set is of my skydive..... it was sooooooooooo fun and worth the money. the pictures speak for themselves about the scenery I flew over..... to my right are the mountains of Mordor (from Lord of the Rings) anyways, hope you enjoy the photos!


These are some pics of my tour group in New Zealand..... fun times!

This was by far the craziest thing I've ever done.... but it was worth EVERY second of it! Below me is the town of Queenstown, NZ and the Remarkable Mountains (aka Mordor in Lord of the Rings)
