Yes to Adventure

I left the US in September 2013 to travel the world. I started with a working holiday in New Zealand and then successfully navigated SE Asia independently for 5 months. Currently home in the U.S. going through travel photos and plotting my next adventure....

Mitre Peak and Milford Sound on a very rainy day.  Still beautiful.

Seriously though, if I had to choose between Doubtful and Milford Sounds, I prefer Doubtful.  Much more peaceful, and the overnight cruise was better than the Milford day cruise.

The classic Mitre Peak view of Milford Sound.  I didn’t get too much of a view thanks to the rain, but it was still pretty epic.

What job do you do? Because it's seems so perfect!

I work to travel, I don’t work and travel.  I quit my job to move to New Zealand.  What job I do and the experiences I share on Tumblr aren’t really connected except that I used the job to make the money to have the experiences.

That said, I have worked in some pretty amazing places that made working pretty fun.  On the flip side, I’ve also worked in a cubicle and made more money while doing so.
