True NZ...

So i moved from Wanaka to Queenstown for a new job, and although i had visited Queenstown a few times before i moved here, it certainly has a funny feel to it now i live here. It is incredibly transient and people move through all the time. It doesn't have a personal or cultural feel to it, and last night, i went for a few beers with some friends and getting to one of the bars downtown, a guy was screaming at the bouncer having been thrown out for being too drunk. It made me lose a bit of faith in humanity again. Do i really want to be here and surround myself with this kind of lifestyle and negativity? Currently, i need to make some money so i can get my van back up and running as it has run out of road tax and registration, so once that is sweet i will be keeping myself out of town as much as possible, finding more well rounded people to have around me, those that will expel positivity and good feelings, those who appreciate the beauty in this country, those who want to share in the experiences of NZ, true NZ...

Season Close...

So it has come to that time where my winter season in NZ has wrapped up, the mountains are closed, the job is finished and it is now time to see what the next adventure will be. Wanaka has been the most incredible home to have found on the other side of the world, it has had both amazing ups, and incredible downs, it has shown me the person i can be, and the person i am not. I have made choices here, both good and bad, but overall i have seen what i can be, and who i am and what it takes to keep me going. It's not about who has the most money, it's not about the best job, it's about who's having the most fun, and making the most of this life we live in.

You've got one life, live it...
