those of you taking a gander at my virgin blog, must have heard the news. your friend, julie, has finally stopped talking the talk and started walking the walk. that's right, fellas. i am heading to new zealand. . .

this little old blog here is going to be serving a few purposes. before i make the trip over there, i will be updating about what's happening here, stateside. how the money is rolling in, if a get the visa i want, job opportunities, contacting and connecting with people way over there, that sort of thing. the other purpose will be to keep a record of my travels. where i am, who i have met, any cute antidotes, my thoughts about island life. i hope to be able to document my travels as best i can. i am not gonna lie, not the best at this sort of thing, but hey, i will make an honest effort (i have a feeling i will do better than i think because hey, i am going to NEW ZEALAND!!).

alright, that's it for now. i am going to attempt to upload some pictures of new zealand and get this blog looking shnazy. peace.
