G'Day!!
I'm back party peeps.
Been an interesting period, that's for sure!!!
Did the study thing, happy with a diploma, don't need a degree. Finally teaching first aid again, which is great.
Doing some further study, though by distance ed.
Here's the kicker though; I just accepted a guiding job based out of Jaffa Land.
Yep, that's right; Kreig is migrating North!
So there's a WHOLE lot of learning I have to do about NI tracks!
I've been accepted for a 3-month dive internship in the Orkney Islands (north of Scotland) next year, so will rip over to Europe for 4 months (a month of adventuring; ok, a week of that kicking back on Crete), but will still - probably - be based in the North when I get back.
This new gig is with two fledgling tour companies, a brilliant opportunity to get in on the ground with ambitious owners who are looking to expand into the Pacific Islands and SE Asia. I could be guiding globally after not-too-long.
The cherry on top? St John, who I teach for now, are in need of a casual first aid trainer based in Auckland.
Winner winner, chicken dinner!
Big year: great new job, interesting new location, turn 40 next month, and am able to submit my NZ citizenship application 10th December (appointment already booked). ;)
And, I should get to meet a bunch more of you. :)
What are some classic tracks to start with in the greater Dorkland area?

You mean its nearly as bad in that regard as Wellington
Well, for starters, I'm getting a certified self-contained camper. And Auckland recently opened up a bunch of freedom camping spots; for self-contained campers.
But there's always infinite other legal options. :)
