Top to bottom: From Kaitaia to Invercargill - Part 2

Last week Mia chatted with Ash from Invercargill about her experience at our Christchurch NLP event in the July holidays, and about meeting Micaela from Kaitaia for the first time. This week Mia has a chat with Micaela!

Last week I spoke to Ash about her NLP experiences and how cool it was to meet Micaela from the Far North. This week you can find out about Micaela’s experiences. 

Mia: “What was your favourite moment of the NLP? What stood out the most to you?”

Micaela: “Spending time with the other National Leaders in the apartment was so much fun. Just playing cards and getting to know each other.”

Mia: “It is always great hanging out and just having fun. How did you feel meeting each other for the first time?”

Micaela: “I was so excited. The first time in Christchurch I had no idea what to think or do, or act, as most of them had met each other before, but Ash is so lovely and we’ve become so close.”

Mia: “That is awesome to hear. What did you learn about each other's communities? Are there major differences or even similarities”

Micaela: “There are a lot of similarities between our communities. This helped us to be able to work out our issues and target where we wanted to support.”

Mia: “Yes it was interesting to see that your communities have similar issues. Did the NLP event meet your expectations?”

Micaela: “Yes, it did. I thought it was so cool to be able to meet people with the same interests and motives as me.”

Mia: “Do you think both of your areas are facing the same road safety challenges?”

Micaela: “I think so. it’s quite similar.”

Mia: “What is your biggest takeaway from the NLP?”

Micaela: “All of the behind the scenes hustle. It was so cool to be on the planning side of things.”

Mia: “Thank you so much for chatting with me. It was great to have you all together at the NLP.”
