Hi Tommy,

Great question! Like a lot of international students, I find the U.S. culture a lot of fun and quite different to New Zealand. I met a lot of really nice people when I arrived that showed me the ropes and since then I’ve made lifelong friends. I always try to share a bit of New Zealand with the people I meet and people seem to think it hilarious that I use words like “reckon” and “heaps”. I am a proud kiwi!!
