I did a work abroad experience in New Zealand in 2004/2005 simply because Americans never do this. Overall, I’m glad that I did it but I never felt a connection anywhere. Not with the land, not with the people. But, Dunedin was different. It was special. It was the place I should’ve spent more time in. If it wasn’t so damn cold, I probably would’ve tried to live there too and not just Auckland and Wellington. I liken Dunedin to San Francisco. There’s just something about it inexplicable. Plus, there were plenty of food options for vegans/vegetarians.
