My New Zealand Visa has been accepted!
 

: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. :)

south or north?

Both, but I'll be starting in the North first. :)

watch the Duel II, they filmed it all in Queenstown, it was epic

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.

congrats Ben!!

:amazed:

better get me a prezzie :suspect:

That's cool

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

Have fun whenever you decided to go out!

I'm sad but really happy for you. :(

Yeah I'm sad too!

-phones Kiwi embassy, informing them Benjamin is a known rioter/looter-

94% jealous and rising.

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. :)

Nice one. Good luck with everything.
:laugh2:

Congrats Ben. Very jealous, I love the place.
Tibb will miss you.

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.

Congrats Ben :) And safe journeying. It's reads like it is gonna be such a great adventure, I am soooo jealous, I wanna go too now :bawling: Please post pics and stuff if you can and when you can and take care when you do take off on your travels :)

Congrats Ben, couple of my cousins lived there for a year not long ago and loved the country, sort of thing I'd like to do someday

Fantastic news:). Best of luck with your move and future Ben! You will be missed on here.

Congratulations Benjamin! :D

Congratulations Ben! I'm sure your presence will be missed in the UK and loved in NZ!

Enjoy yourself buddy :)

Jealous beyond belief :bored:

That is really good news ben :)

I think I might just kill you and keep you in my freezer. If I can't have you then no body can.
