Flying to Auckland New Zealand!

In this special vlog, we take you with us on our second trip back to New Zealand—a place that holds so much meaning for our family. Ty served his mission here for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and coming back together again was such a full-circle moment.

We visited the New Zealand MTC, walked the peaceful grounds of the Hamilton Temple (that Ty's Great Grandpa helped build), and experienced the stunning new Auckland Temple. Ty reunited with close friends from his mission, and we spent time with family who still live in Aotearoa—including some we got to meet together for the very first time.

We also made time for a little adventure... Ty’s little brother and sister jumped off the iconic Sky Tower in Auckland! 😱 And we explored some absolutely breathtaking beaches along the way—New Zealand’s natural beauty never fails to blow us away.

This trip was especially meaningful knowing Ty’s great-grandparents migrated from New Zealand to the United States, and walking where his ancestors once lived made this all the more special.

👫 Who are we? We’re TY & KENA (@tyandkena), a married couple documenting our love, travels, and our life journey. This trip reminded us how powerful it is to stay connected to your roots, and we’re so excited to share it with you 💙

💬 Drop a comment: Would YOU jump off the Sky Tower? And if you've ever returned to a place that changed your life, we’d love to hear your story!
