Trying to figure out life... that ever perplexing question...


Picture from Routeburn 3 day Track

ahh I'm exhausted. I've been thinking all day about what my goals are while I'm in New Zealand. It's hard to travel b/c I don't have any money. But I can't just go to new zealand and only see nelson. Working in a hostel is not the best environment if you want to stay in one place b/c people are constantly coming from doing something new and exciting in New zealand. These are terms I hear constantly...

" Ohh, this is just like the Bay Area you have to go see New Zealand."
" Ahh, you have got to go kayaking at Abel Tasman! It's beautiful"
" I've just travelled all over the south island"

blah blah....

So anyway...it's late thats why I'm moody. I think the plan will be to get a job for a while then travel the last 2 weeks I'm here


View from Abel Tasman Coastal Track which takes 3-5 days

In 2 days: level 3-4 white water river rafting!


People rafting the buller river...I'm doing this exact section of the river on monday! Yikes...
another week: Mountain biking in Abel Tasman
Just before I leave: do the abel tasman Coastal Track (1 of the 9 "New Zealand Great walks")
then down to fiordland to do the Routeburn track another "NZ GREAT WALK" takes 3 days of hiking with some awesome scenery.
- Then I'll do some surfing lessons at Mt. Maunganui on the North Island
- and finish up at wellington

White water rafting! That looks like so much fun. And all the walking routes look beautiful. Good luck finding a job and I can't wait to see pictures of all the beautiful places you go in New Zealand!

white water rafting IS SO MUCH FUN! I went last summer in Tahoe. Flipping over into the cold cold water is not so fun though, but I'm sure you'll have a blast!
