This will be my last post in 2017, this year has been a really good year for me.
Exactly one year ago I started my working holiday journey in New Zealand, which means a lot to me in this one year. All the stories happening in this year, all the people I met this year, I have make it through the one thing that I never thought I can really make it.
Solo travelling at a new country.
I was consider really lucky for this trip as I have got a job offer before I leave Malaysia. Thus, there is less worry for me to start the whole journey.
It is hardly to consider "solo" in fact. In a very short time, you gets to know new people and start making friends, thus, you are not alone but open up your world map by travelling solo.
Making new friends from the world.
Nine months is really short. It was just like a dream. Huei became the first friend come to visit me in Malaysia. She is also the last friend I say goodbye in NZ. Now that she has also go back to her home country Taiwan. And I got a surprised parcel today all the way from Korea, Omni Liz has sent me some snacks, making my itchiness to start plan for trips for visiting again, but don't ask me when is the time. I am running out of leave so please do come and visit me in Malaysia people!
New knowledge gained.
Working in the packhouse; staying in the orchard; quality control; talking to the people; listening to the stories; factory visiting; wine tasting; work exchange; and a lot more, it makes me gain new knowledge from yesterday.
Start from Zero and Restart
I have take the risk to leave the company and come to a new country. Then return back to where I left. I know that I have not wasted this year to this journey and I learn to be more appreciate compared to the past.
Now, I am ready for the new year to come, look forward for more adventures and challenges awaiting ahead.
