I'll arrive in Auckland on Dec 7 and 5 days later I'll be 43 years old. I was born in NY, but I've lived in 6 different states and in a few countries; mostly 20 years ago, and mostly for shorter periods of time. I first thought I'd come to NZ to just explore your beautiful country and meet New Zealanders, traveling by motorcycle, taking my time, fishing along the way, engaging the adventure and beauty your country is known for. Then I thought, if I can work along the way, all the better, and tomorrow I'll accept a 6 month position based in Wellington which should also get me a work permit good for 5 years. So the plan as it stands now.....travel for 2 months, work 6 months, travel and/or work for another 3-4. At that point I'll try and decide to stay, or return to the States; that is part of the adventure for me...the unknown.
This is my first attempt at a ride report. So bear with me until I can work out some 'flow', and a way to seamlessly attach pictures. I am starting early with this so that I can perfect the process before I actually arrive; at which time I imagine 'the process' will be more challenging. I have enthusiastically devoured some of the ride reports on ADVrider; there are some wonderfully talented storytelling motorcycle adventurers out there. Emails will be the best way to contact me directly. srndptee@gmail.com
I need a change in my life. What the heck...how can I pass on an opportunity like this?
