As a child, back in my religious days, I had the opportunity to go on a mission trip to a foreign country. I was so excited at the prospect of traveling overseas at just 13. Both my brother and I raised money for our trips, went to a three-day training session in Texas, and then set off for our separate destinations. He chose to go to Hong Kong while I crossed an item off my bucket list by going to New Zealand.
For one solid month, I was on the North Island helping spread the word of Jesus to the locals. While this trip didn’t do anything to increase my spiritual side — in fact, it was the first stepping stone to me becoming the agnostic I am today — it did spark a lifelong fascination with the country. I plan to return their someday, to revisit the sulfur flats of Rotorua, drive once more down the Skyline Luge, and maybe see what the South Island is all about. Until that day comes, I’ll have to settle with getting my Kiwi kicks through other methods, like saving the day in Reverie.
