Anything Goes "And there's no cure like travel to help you unravel the worries of living today. When the poor brain is cracking there's nothing like packing a suitcase and sailing away." (Anything Goes, There's no cure like travel)

I am packed.  Actually, I am pretty sure that I am overpacked and could stand to leave a few things behind.  But everything fits into my 40L travel pack and day pack (shout out to Osprey, they make awesome travel backpacks).  My emotions about the trip oscillate between excited and anxious. I am staying with my brothers friend in Auckland when I land and then going to stay with a helpx host in Whangarei (2 hours northeast of Auckland).  After that I don’t know… I have about six weeks before my family comes to visit so I have some time to explore by myself.
