Hello all!
My departure is nearing at just 12 days. It has been fun trying to figure everything out before I go. So far I do not have a job lined up but I do have my work visa, which seems pretty difficult to get in New Zealand. I am flying into Auckland, on the north island, for a two night stay. Then I will fly in to Christchurch and be shuttled to Methven, where I plan to stay.
