The Real New Zealand Experience

A travel blog entry by billoco

So the one thing I really wanted to experience in New Zealand happened: working on a New Zealand farm. Unfortunately I wasn't there as long as I'd hoped to be, but I still gained some valuable farming experience that I can use to possibly gain future employment. It was a dairy farm that I worked on, and I was there for five weeks from the end of July to the end of August, mostly helping out with calves as it was calving season.
