I finally called the guy that runs the trail making program. They have 50 people working down in Nelson! wow 50, its an 8 hour a day 5 days a week job and I have to do it for 3 months to qualify for the work in Chile. I'm sure its pretty flexible with the 3 months and he has said others are working more part time.I'd be living in my campervan, and I loved the camp site in Nelson that I staid at for a month a couple of years ago. Only thing is, I need to be able to work legally in NZ. I asked how he does this for Chile and he claims they arrange the work papers. I think this might be bull, so it might be possible he can get me on the crew and pay me cash or through some other way. I need to send in my ap. It does worry me to have to work 40 hours a week, but on the other hand I feel like I really need some routine in my life. This has become apparent when this bad weather set in and I felt really down and lost because I couldnt get out and do my workouts, without those I have nothing anymore. It will be time to meet with the map making people in Taupo next week, this will be another decider on whether I go back to the UK or not.

part of thinking about going back to the UK got me looking at the places available on HelpX in Europe. There are some utterly amazing places! Of course lots of farmhouses that need work, so Id have no problem. Some of these places are in incredible locations, in Cannes, or beautiful historic villages all over Spain, France and Italy. A lot are ex pats from the UK or even the US.
