After only spending a night in Queenstown, we drove up over the mountains and arrived in Wanaka. We heard that this town was where the real locals lived and has a small town vibe and we immediately felt that. The town sits right on Lake Wanaka and is surrounded by mountains with snow on the tops. it is filled with small cafes, ski and snowboard shops, and ski bums from around the world. We decided that this would be the place where we would live for the summer(or winter). Now that we chose our city, it was time to make friends and we immediately started trying to talk to everyone we could find. It was lonely for the first couple days but we soon began to meet a few people and it is beginning to feel more like home. One down fall with Wanaka is that many other people are doing the same exact thing as we are so it has been hard to find a job. We're being persistent and hoping something opens up so we have a little more spending money and don't have to live on as big of a budget as we have been. Sorry for the lack of pictures but more Wanaka blogs will follow.
