The road to a new adventure!
Excellent move! While those jobs you applied for sounded fantastic, WWOOFing and exploring that glorious South Island seem outrageously wonderful too. When I opened your blog and saw your map (thanks for including it) and that incredible route, I knew we were in for a great ride. How lucky that you happened on that adorable hostel--surely, a sign of good things to come. Best wishes!
