My Travel Story

by: Jodie Callaway Start Date: Sep 23, 2024 - End Date: Jan 22, 2025
I am eager to visit New Zealand due to its stunning natural beauty and diverse landscapes. The allure of exploring the snow-capped mountains, tranquil lakes, lush forests, and picturesque coastline is a dream come true for Jodie. The opportunity to partake in thrilling outdoor activities such as bungee jumping, hiking, and skiing in such a breathtaking setting is a major draw. Additionally, the rich Maori culture, friendly locals, and delicious cuisine make New Zealand a truly enchanting destination worth experiencing. I am so filled with anticipation and excitement at the thought of embarking on an unforgettable adventure in the land of the long white cloud. Truly a dream come true in a place that is the most peaceful on earth.
After losing my husband of 35 years recently, peace is what I need. A place so beautifully pure and majestic is the perfect place for me to regain both my mental and physical strength. I watched cancer eat him alive for 2 1/2 years, he died in my arms on my birthday last year. We met in my freshman year of high school (1979) spent the majority of our lives together. He told me before he died, not to let his death be the death of me. He said to find someplace special to me and go. A place that would bring me peace and be able to reset and be free. Well, New Zealand is a place I have always dreamed of going and now with the help of kind and giving people, I believe I will be able to make it there and heal. To gain my strength and begin a new chapter in my life with the freedom to do whatever I want to do. 
I just want to say Thank You very much for any and all donations. Your kindness is so greatly appreciated.

Many thanks to my daughter for her support and care. I am almost recovered but feeling very well. Now i just need some of that pure air and beautiful New Zealand scenery to complete my recovery.
