One week from tomorrow the New Zealand trip starts.
Leave NY at 530pm
stop in LA
3-hour layover in Sydney
fly into Christchurch
28 hours total time
Rough plan:
Hitchhike or take a bus to Queenstown or Wanaka
Get a job
find a place to live
pick a mountain & buy a season pass
buy a car
stay at least until the snow is gone
big extra:
Take a lot of photos, have a sick 4/5 months, write a good story about the trip and sell it to a snowboard magazine.
I'm trying to keep from forming any expectations, it'll make it easier to keep my eyes open for good opportunities that I'm not specifically looking for. I hope there are a lot of them, but sometimes it seems like a lot to hope for.
