"New Zealand is a beautiful country. For lovers of the scenic, it has everything to offer. Perhaps my favorite part of my experience there was my travel through the south island. I got to see the Royal Albatross, and it took my breath away. I got to see the Hectors' Dolphin and it was exhilarating. And I got to see the Yellow-Eyed Penguins and it filled me with complete joy. I never thought in my life time I would see a penguin in its natural habitat. But I did in New Zealand."
