Story
Kia Ora, everyone!
At the end of 2020, I completed the Outward Bound 21 day Classic course. Placed into Blake watch 672 I was nervous and excited for what was to come.
What came was a wonderous amount of adventure and challenge but most of all I left with friendships that will last a lifetime.
I grew up hearing stories from my Grandads from both sides of the family, Dad and Auntie who all went on Outward Bound in New Zealand and the UK in the 60s and in the late 20th century. The words that were consistent were, beneficial, challenging, life-changing, amazing, and eye-opening. Therefore, when I was blessed with the opportunity for me to go on an Outward Bound course by the company Agusta Ltd, I willingly took it.
Outward Bound NZ, is an amazing non-profit organisation that aims "to help create better people, better communities, and a better world". Additionally, they enhance the understanding within individuals that there is more in you.
Outward Bound had such a positive impact on me and enabled me to explore myself and my potential whilst being supported by the most amazing people I could ask for. I would love someone else to have the opportunity to have just as amazing and impactful an experience as I did. Therefore, in the next coming months, I will be training in preparation for the Auckland City Half Marathon.
I am forever grateful for the opportunities and experiences I had at Outward Bound NZ, Thank you.
