Unfortunately, traveling halfway across the world and playing in New Zealand for two weeks is not free. Although despite being an engineer, I still pulled off the trip mostly on the cheap. Below is a list of the major costs incurred throughout this holiday (some are approximate). I do not include food, my hostel stays, or other miscellaneous expenses, mainly because I did not keep track of all those.
