Well, if you’re reading this there’s a good chance you already know I’m moving to New Zealand.
If you didn’t know… now you know!
And I’m moving… this week.
I’ll keep this post relatively brief because there will be some lengthy ones to come.
In the month of April I will be blogging EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Ok wait. That’s not true.
I’ll be blogging every single day of the month aside from Fridays… or Thursdays if you’re in North America. Technically the rules of the challenge I’m completing (more on that below) include breaks from blogging on Sundays. However, I’m a rebel so I’m choosing Fridays.
Basically… while researching blogs about Americans that have moved to New Zealand I came across Albom Adventures, a blog written by a female American expat living in Auckland.
She has completed the A-Z Blogging Challenge for the past four years. I was inspired. And being that this will be one of the biggest months of my entire life thus far, I want to document it the very best I can.
My blogging lately has been pitiful, and that’s being kind. But I feel extremely motivated to complete this challenge.
Some of my upcoming posts will include information pertaining to travel, including my experience with Global Entry as well as the special visa I’ll be on.
But most importantly, it will follow the shenanigans I get up to with the best sidekick in the world, my boyfriend James.
Upcoming topics include…
- On April 11-12 James and his dad Brett will be attempting their second Guinness World Record, for the longest game of squash, playing 36+ consecutive hours to raise $36,000+ for the Child Cancer Foundation.
- I’ll also be discussing Kiwi food, Kiwi slang, and some of my favorite places I’ve already traveled to around New Zealand.
- Some of the most fun you could ever imagine!
And! As it turns out… Rhonda from Albom Adventures has themed her A-Z posts ‘AmaZing Auckland’! I look forward to discovering more about my new backyard through her blog as well!
Please feel free to follow this journey I’m about to partake on.
And buckle up. It’s gonna be a crazy beautiful ride (on the left side of the road… Oh goodness!)
Welcome to New Zealand and to the AtoZ challenge. This is a big month for you. Hope the moves goes smooth, and I will be following along. Maybe we will even meet up for coffee. Which part of Auckland are you moving to?
