Vagabonds go their separate ways

After spending a spectacular year working and touring New Zealand, the vagabonds have parted ways to continue their travels.  Christina has gotten a working holiday visa for Australia, and is currently setting up shop in Melbourne.  Stay tuned for some great Aussie articles coming from her– right Christina?  I, unfortunately, am too old to get an Australian working holiday visa (the cut off is age 30), so I had to leave New Zealand after my one year visa expired on Feb. 1.  I spent the last month in, well, Australia!  It was only a 3.5 hour flight from Auckland to Melbourne, and the price was right, so it was a logical choice.  It was good to catch up with Christina and have a few pints as well.  I’m currently back in New Zealand on a 3 month visitors visa.  With a few irons in the fire, I’m hoping to secure more permanent employment, and perhaps stick around for a while longer.

It has been an wonderful year, and we’ve seen and done some amazing things. The travel bug has certainly bitten us.  With a little planning and luck, hopefully the vagabonds will continue to show you some beautiful pics and useful articles.  Hopefully we will inspire more to become Illuminated Vagabonds.
