Smile Possibly Travelling Again - This Time New Zealand

I'm trying to decide whether to stay in UK and study a Masters degree next year or instead go travelling again, this time to New Zealand for 23 months.

I feel like I should study again, but a part of me feels that the UK does not hold too much for me nowadays and to head to NZ, travel, work and see if I can either study there or get a sponsorship.

Any advice anyone?

New Zealand has never really appealed to me, I would like to go to Queenstown though.

My Uncle owns a farm up north and both of his sons have worked with him and then spent 6 months working on a farm in NZ. I've never been quite sure why tbh, but I know that they both loved it over there, and have been back a few times since.

I've always fancied going either there or Australia myself, and was considering it for a gap year, but I've basically decided to go to Uni next year now, and try and do a bit of travelling afterwards if I can, could find that a bit difficult though.

New Zealand seems like a very dull place imo. Australia seems like a lot more interesting place to me.

My cousin is out there at the moment - he loves it

NZ is not doing well.


You went Down under , I think
so you know about Hard times.


If you think going to NZ will be Fun
it is for travel,
but for work - you have to be able to do the Jobs they want you to do.
You do not get the choice as much.


Why not go to America or Canada
on a Travel trip.
When you return
you could be more able to start your own company.

USA only appeals to me if I could do a roadtrip to every state, which I will do one day, but it'll be very expensive.

I was also considering Canada, I have a lot of friends there that I met in Australia, so it could be good to visit them as well as travel and work. Plus Canada looks beautiful

That's how long the New Zealand working holiday visa lasts for
