My first visit to New Zealand was on July 2001. That was a short home
stay program, and I stayed for 1 week in Christcurch with a New Zealand
host mother. I liked her very much but I didn't particularly like the cold
rainy winter days at the time. So, after I went back to Japan, I decided
to came to New Zealand again to enjoy sunny NZ. Next year, Nov 2002, I
flew again to New Zealand with working holiday visa.
I spent almost one year for travelling and photography, sometimes learning
English and having a job. I gave walking the Milford Track a try on my
third month after coming to New Zealand. After that I have been crazy about
walking in nature and taking photos.
Fortunately I got a job in New Zealand just before the expiry date of
my workingholiday visa. So I extended another 6 month to stay in New Zealand.
And also I have met my honey. We both love photography and trekking,we
went to Nepal in May 2003 ,and got engaged at the place.
Now I am enjoying married life with my husband, Alan MacKay, and he is
developing his photography work at Christchurch.( His web site is http://www.koruwildernessimages.co.nz/)
