Arrived in Queenstown (the capital of adrenaline) on the 16th. It appears that they must have a big Irish population, as they were getting ready to celebrate St. Paddy's day! Checked out some of the local establishments and made some new friends. One guy, Andy from the UK, was interested in bungee jumping. We decided to go together and agreed to meet the next day at 11.
I also meet an interesting guy, Kyle, who is a whitewater rafting guide. He is originally from SF, but now guides 6 months a year in NZ and 6 months a year in Switzerland.
I'm amazed by the number of people that I'm meeting that are just floating. Came to NZ to work for a bit and then spend their money to do more travel. One woman from Colorado is on her 30th country at age 34. She is trying to get residency in Colorado so she can finish up her degree. She wasn't really sure why. She just waitresses until she gets enough money to move on to another country. She said she primarily travels in third world countries now as her travel dollars go farther.
