"As I travel around this world of ours, I reflect, and I’m grateful for the opportunities I have to connect with such a diverse range of beautiful people, epic places and rich cultures. I’ve been loving reconnecting with old friends from throughout the years and meeting new friends as I move from place to place. It reminds me that regardless of what is happening around the globe, this world of ours is full of beautiful people and for that, I’m grateful...
E kore aku mihi e ngū ki a koutou e te whānau, mō koutou e tautoko nei i ahau i runga i tēnei haerenga āku. Tēnā koutou e pupuri nei i te ahi kā o te kāinga, kia pai te rere haere o te waekaikapua nei.
I am grateful for all of your generosity and support, and for all the magic that is yet to come!!" - Te Rawhitiroa Bosch
