The next chapter
After being in New Zealand for the best part of a year and a half getting back to the UK was great to see family and friends up and down the length of the country but the overwhelming feeling I have got is that there are so many people, too many people. The roads are busy at all hours of the day and night, the streets are crammed with people shopping with bag upon bag of useless crap that they neither want or need but feel compelled to buy none the less. Also something that has struck me is the amount of homeless people, it seems that in every town you go to there are homeless people. This is not only confined to the big cities but regular towns as well. Something has to give, this country is only so big. What will it be like in 10 years time? No one knows I guess but I hope that it will be a better place than it seems to me right now.
Rant over, it’s just how I feel!
So, currently I am gearing up (read as ‘twiddling my thumbs waiting’) to head to the US for the winter. I have a job working as an instructor at a private ski hill in Vermont. It’s a pretty exciting opportunity to work in America, even more so because I have never actually been to the US before. As my first instructor job I think it will be a great foundation of experience going forward and I am keen to put into practice everything I have learnt in New Zealand and start my journey of being a snow sports instructor.
