NEW ZEALAND!!!!

[gnine]

Been meaning to post about this for a while, but a) have been very busy and b) was wanting to make sure everything was actually going to happen before posting 'bout it has delayed me...Not wanting to jinx it and all that...

But, seeing as it's two weeks away now, should probably let people know...I'm heading to New Zealand in two weeks for a year (well, hopefully. The visa lasts for a year, but if I don't find work, that might get cut short...:-p) SO EXCITED!!!! ^____^

Course, little bit nervous as well, seeing as this is the first time I've set out to another country with neither job/school or a place to live lined up. Well, should be quite an adventure, if nothing else...^_- I'm starting off in Auckland, but we'll see where the job search takes me...

Anyway, part of the reason I'm posting, beyond just...y'know, actually updating what's going on with me...something we all know I'm TERRIBLE about, is that I'm hoping to hook up with fan people when I get there. In both Japan and England I had great luck meeting up with LJ people in person and am hoping to do so again. Not sure if anyone from my flist is actually in NZ currently...but if you are, would love to meet up. And also, if anyone on my flist knows other fan/geeky people in NZ and they might be interested in hanging out, send 'em my way...

And hopefully soon, I'll be back to posting more frequently, doing my travel logs, if nothing else. New Zealand should provide plenty of material for that, if nothing else! ^___^ *bounce bounce*

Good for you! NZ is a wonderful country. Lovely people, lots of sheep and it's very green. *g* I was there twice. Would love to go back someday.

I've heard this from everyone who's been there. So very very excited! ^____^

Oh, wow! From what I've seen in pictures and whatnot, NZ is just about the prettiest place on earth.

Good luck with the job search! And have fun!!

Ooh! If you're going to be in New Zealand in November then you should sign up for get_together! Low-cost fannish weekend in Wellington, and it's awesome fun. I won't be there this year, alas, because I just moved to Australia, but the ladies who run it are GREAT.

Registration form: http://get--together.livejournal.com/71788.html
Preliminary list of fandoms they're going to cover/pimp: http://get--together.livejournal.com/71392.html

And you *have* to go to Kaffee Eis - best ice cream gourmet-flavour gelato evaaar.

Also, if I happen to visit New Zealand while you're still there I may drop you a line if that's OK :-)

Oh, excellent, thanks for the link, will so check that out! And yes, if you come to NZ while I'm there, definitely let me know!

[ariadne83]

Cool!

get_together is well worth it, even the years that they weren't focusing on "my" fandoms - you get to meet people from all over New Zealand, and there's a fairly strong Sydney contingent too :-)

A whole year? Sounds interesting. You do so much travelling, it's impressive.

I don't know anyone in NZ (or who is still there, anyway).

*squishes* Have a great time!

[gnine.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Yeeeah, I do bounce around, but it's so fun and I meet such awesome people! *big big huggles*

Much love and many hugs <3
