Since everyone left from 42 Below and the ski season is winding down here which means most of my good friends are leaving town soon, I've been quite sad. Additionally, as some of you may have heard, we've lost two close family members in the last month, so needless to say, I'm thinking of coming home for a few months to be with my family. A few months ago I thought I was staying here for sure but recently I've been feeling I need a short break. NZ is a great place and I plan on coming back soon, there is high potential for me settling down here. But for now, I still haven't found what I'm looking for...I'm tossing around a few ideas on where to go and what to do...
I now have more questions than answers, but on the bright side, my travels have thought me a few key things in life. I've realized just how temporary things can be if you let them and how your dreams can be attained by just trying and believing. If you want to go to a new place to live, realize how easy it can be to get established and to live with minimal possesions. I can go live somewhere now with just 1 bag of luggage. Step back and think about this for a moment. How free would this make you feel? Another key ideal that I've learned is that you don't have to live your life like society tells you to. Work whatever job you want, go wherever you want, take a break from your professional life if you're curious. You only get one shot here; know you're in control. Follow it.

What a great year it has been for you in NZ.
We return to the West Coast the first of December.
Keep in touch and continue to live your dream.

Thanks guys! It was my Uncle and then a month later my Grandma. Everything is cool though.
I'm thinking of returning to NZ in Janurary.
