The 1 month mark!
My Life
I have been here for 1 month now, and wow a lot has changed in my life. I won’t go into my person life but it’s been one hell of a journey here.
From settling in, course changes, adapting and time management, this has been some 4 weeks. Very different to how I’ve been living my life over the past, Well, 28 years!
My job!
I’m a mechanical engineering tutor in Hamilton. I’ve been teaching engineering in China for the past 3 years on and off which has given me loads of freedom to travel and relax. This is different, it is very full on and I won’t be getting much free time. However, if you look at the whole ‘career experience’ thing it’s what I need right now as I’m a year away from 30 with no ‘real’ or ‘proper’ job experience as some would call it.
Anyways, I’m on good money and I’m busy, but it’s all good. I’m staying positive and I enjoy it.
It’s hard work! Teaching fluid mechanics, advanced thermodynamics and Structures sure is brain busting! The first semester is always super full on for any new tutor, especially a less experienced one like me. We all have to start somewhere!
Future and home
I’m still thinking about the future. I’ll do this for a year minimum, probably more like 2-3 years, and then the world can be my oyster again. I don’t have a girlfriend or partner and can’t see that happening any time soon so I should be relatively free to do as I please.
I do miss home! If anyone was wondering, I do miss England and home. I’d like to return, but will I? Who knows. I would actually like my job in China again one day where I earn and save lots but I also have 5 months off a year to travel and spend time with friends and family.
Steemit
I have been awfully quiet on here! I’m just too busy to spend an hour a day right now. So, it really is one or two posts a week and a few comments when I can.
The value keeps dropping hey. Who knows what the future holds.
I do notice less and less people commenting or upvoting my posts and I guess that is down to me being inactive! I always try to return the favour and engage when I can!
Peace and love to you all! Let me know what you’re up to 🌅
Nice picture

Lovely images! Good luck in your new job.
Ah fluid mechanics! The best type- hahahahahahaha
Beautiful pictures. I am sure all the hard work will ay off, hard work has a habit of doing so haha.
Time tends to fly when you are super busy too so this time will be gone before you know it! Keep taking great photos for us and tell us things we don't know about New Zealand when you get the odd moment. We all enjoy your positive state of mind you always pull out of the hat whatever might be happening!
I am busy reading tales from all over the world so maybe I can dig up a few from New Zealand too. That would be interesting.
Keep smiling and enjoying sunsets!
Ahh thank you so much 😀 yep hard work does pay off as does being a positive and kind person, it’s all come full circle in the end :)
I will keep on taking photos and updating you all, i have just got back from a bit cycle so I am about to post another large post with some awesome photos, they should all be up in 20-30 mins :)
I will also try to learn some extra stuff about nz, particularly the Maori culture as it is so interesting and awesome! You would love it :)
Thanks for always being so kind and positive, your outlook and attitude has had an effect on me over the past year and helped change me in little ways for the better:)
Keep smiling and enjoying everything 😀🌅
Ooooo a cycle ride what a great way to explore! I am off to find these photos you speak of ☺️
New Zealand pulled you to her for a very good reason - maybe as yet the full adventure is not unfolding but fate has a wonderful way of taking you where you need to be... 🌅🌈🦋😘
super duper pics as usual buddy! Glad to see you back on here. Still quite jealous you get to live in EnZed.
Thanks buddy :) I will try and be back on more regularly now. I miss my Asia life, but it sure is nice out here:) I will be back to Asia one day, I know it.
I’m just about to post another big one from my day out cycling today! 😀🌅
