in retrospection: Volvo Ocean Race - Auckland 2012

That was our first major event in Auckland, pretty amazing to see the fastest sail boats in the world :)

kind of remind us the trip to Whitsunday's Beach, where we spend 2 nights on boat like this :)

Auckland, New Zealand!

Welcome in Auckland, New Zealand!!

Long time no see! You probably were wondering, where the hell is Olo :) Well, here I'm!

How we get here? that was very easy... by plane!! :)

Why we moved here? That's a different story.

First of all we had intentions to stay in Australia for 3 months and find a way to stay there longer.

In the mean time I was doing some research and I've stumbled on possibility to get a work and holiday visa in New Zealand. Quota for polish citizens wasn't that big at all, only 100 visas per year. Luckily for me, opening was on the 18th of February 2012! Just few weeks before our Australian visa expires. At midnight of that day, I was ready. I've lodged my application swiftly, 10 days later visa was granted to me and here I am, in Auckland with one year working visa in my hand!
