:amazed:


My NZ visa has been accepted which means I can now head off to NZ any time between now and this time next year. I will hopefully be heading over there in January, but am toying with the idea of going sooner, maybe before Christmas. :)

I shall not be basing my travels there on a reality show. I am my own adventurer and will be taking everything New Zealand has to offer, hopefully including working with some Maori poets/performers.

That's cool

What sort of visa is it? Like, a permanent one or temporary?

Have fun whenever you decided to go out!

A working holiday visa to start with, but I'll go from there depending on what happens and how far I get with my writing project. :)

Oh yeah... there you are, right down the bottom on the right. And there we are... right up the top, in the middle!

I thought that would make me feel better. But it doesn't. 96% jealous now and still rising.

Cheers all for the kind words. It's been fun (and testing at times) in the 10 months I have been back on here from my last adventure. I have gotten to know most of you, and despite our occasional fall-outs and disputes, we are a great bunch on here and have kept it going well during off season with our banter and fun. Stay safe all and good luck with any adventures you may all encounter. :love:
