Back in New Zealand

Well, I have been back in New Zealand now for about 6-7 weeks, after spending a very long month working out of Cape Town. Despite having some personal issues in my return, its great to be back in my home country – and this time knowing that i’m not going to be flying off somewhere unknown straight away, and leaving everyone I care about!

Anyway as I said, it has been a hard time since coming back – but things are slowly getting better. Have finally managed to catch up with most of my friends since I’ve been back, and made it a long to a few parties which have been great – despite a few set backs. Since returning from South Africa, i’ve also made myself a few promises.

In my extensive travels, lets say….I haven’t eaten the best! So i’ve promised myself to lose all of the weight i’ve gained travelling since the start of the year, and more – I want to be fit for the first time in a number of years now! Since arriving back, I have now dropped off 12.5kg of the weight I put on while travelling, with another 3kg to go within the next 2 weeks – then after that will be the BIG milestones to achieve! I’ve also managed to sort out a contract extension with my current job until late March ‘10 which is fantastic! And am currently putting money aside, to find a new place in Auckland City.

Originally I was planning to go to Russia mid 2010, but it seems that plans have changed – and so must I, so am not sure as yet what my next ‘venture’ will be – but after completing my job in March ‘10 (if they finally decide i’ve been extended long enough!) I will start looking at my options, at where to go next :) Things definately are much different now to how I invisioned them 3-4 months ago – but things never go the way we plan, and sometimes its a good thing

South africa it is then..

So I had intended topost here more often, but have been working overseas as of november 08! Wow has the time flown. It hardly seems like most of the last 9 months have been spent overseas. As of last week, have now arrived in Cape town and wow is it amazing here! Will fill this [...]
