Thermal Wonderland.

I had never set foot in New Zealand before this trip. My philosophy has always been to travel as much as you can whilst you're young and able - and when I say travel I don't mean staying at resorts and going on planned tours. When I say I want to travel I want to see things with new eyes. I want to meet people who are different to me. I want my mind to be in constant awe of mother nature and New Zealand had zero problems doing exactly just that. This thermal wonderland had an other worldly feel to it. Surrounded by billowing clouds of white smoke made me realise how small me and my problems were in the bigger scheme of things.
