My Travel Story

by: James Futcher Start Date: Nov 18, 2019 - End Date: Aug 17, 2020
After I've finished my A-Levels I'm heading out in September 2020 to New Zealand! Initially I'll be working and travelling out there for 2 years but I could end up staying out there for longer to work or study, anything can happen! Whilst out in New Zealand I want to work and experience as much as possible whilst travelling this awesome and beautiful country. Initially I plan to get an entry to mid-level job so I can cover living expenses and gain some invaluable experince doing something I've never done before but after the initial 4-5 months I'll move on and travel whilst looking for more specific jobs to my interests. I'm a qualified personal trainer and fitness instructor and would love to work and explore this area even more whilst I'm out in New Zealand maybe working within Les Mills or any other company/organisation that will take me! 

I chose New Zealand becuase it is a huge hub for health, sport, and wellness as well as being incredibly beautiful with beaches in the north and amazing mountains in the south! Working as a personal trainer out there would be a dream as well as just experiencing life as a local and learning about the differenct cultures. I'm starting in Auckland for the first 5 days but then I'll move on and try and see every single bit of the north and south islands. Overall I want to further my education and learn as much as possible, travel a completely new place, experience different local clutures, and work and gain loads of awesome experience!

Whilst out in New Zealand I'll have a local job to support my travels however getting out there costs a little bit of money, however no money can buy how amazing my time out there is going to be! Flights, visa fees, insurance, and reserve money are some of the things I am going to need to invest in before I leave the UK and any help would be much apprectiated so I can make this happen!
