I never imagined myself blogging. Even now I’m amazed that I’m doing it. As I start typing, I keep erasing what I have written because I want to have the right wording, the right grammar, and the right punctuation. Well friends, I will warn you now, I will probably make mistakes in all of those areas. Bear with me. That’s not what this is about. If I were to do that, I would just be reminded of the college papers that took forever to write because I would analyze everything. My hope is that through this blog, I can keep any who care to read, up to date on my adventures in New Zealand and Australia.
As many of you may know, I have a passion for travel and adventure. I have my dad to thank for that. Growing up, my family would travel every summer. By the time I had finished high school, I had been to most of the 50 states, Canada, Mexico (4x), and Bolivia. Since leaving home, my desire for travel and adventure remains. Some may even say it has increased. Last fall I backpacked around Europe for two months with two friends. Now I am preparing to embark on yet another adventure. To New Zealand and Australia I go! Here is a brief synopsis of the months to come.
Jan. 29th Fly to Auckland, New Zealand
May 3rd Fly from Christchurch, New Zealand to Melbourne, Australia
May 15th Fly from Sydney, Australia to Minneapolis, Minnesota
Yes, I am really going to be gone for 3 ½ months. I have a holiday work visa in New Zealand which means I can work while I am there. This may mean making beds in a hostel, picking fruit, working on a sheep farm, or some other random job. Although my plans are not definite, and probably won’t be even when I am there, I envision finding a job for a week or two (maybe even three if I really like it) and then meander to another place and find another job.
