Life of an International Scarfie*

As I sit in my flat and listen to the Otago clock tower toll twelve I cannot help but feel a little sentimental over the place I’ve called home for the past five months. Although I’ve shared a lot about my travels outside of Dunedin, Dunedin has been my home and even with all its college town quirks, I will miss it dearly. The life of an international scarfie has been interesting, entertaining and rewarding to say to least. Here’s to couches burning on castle street, to live music late into the night at the Bog with an early morning snack of Kumara fries from Velvet Burger, to frisbee, soccer and climbing trees in the beautiful botanical gardens, and of course to learning about Maori culture, Animal form and function and NZ plants from some of the finest professors in New Zealand. Cheers! Here are a few shots for those of you interested in my home away from home:

*The nickname of Otago students garnered from the blue and gold scarves worn by students during the winter months in support of the local rugby team, and popularized by a film created in the 90’s that was set in Dunedin.
