Hi all, I'm re-submitting this story, as I did not include the @Introducemyself tag in my initial post and feel I've missed anyone seeing the post as I had no followers ( sorry I;m new to this!! ), so here is another post introducing myself....... again, with the correct tags ( again, I am very new to steemit!! ) -
I live in NZ ( New Zealand ) which is in the deep south pacific, we're about as far away from the worlds problems as you can get. Most people in the world refer to us as Aussies ( since we're pretty close to Australia ), this is probably the worst thing you can say to a Kiwi!!! - we are by far the better country...... better at Rugby mostly.
These are the two main islands in NZ- I'm based in the north island, we have a total of 4 million people across both islands.
Our climate is pretty mild here in the north island ( currently winter ) and we're dominated by volcanoes, bush and ocean.
The south island can get pretty cold and there is a huge mountain range which is mostly a nature reserve, here's a photo from my recent trip to Queenstown -
I'm looking forward to sharing my stories of adventure in NZ ( I love fishing, diving and general outdooring ), so keep an eye out for my posts and be sure to share the love!
Here's a photo of a Blue Bottle Jellyfish aka Portuguese Man o' War, I took this photo this morning at Bethells Beach, the sand is mostly black on our west coast beaches mostly due to the volcanic activity.
Thanks for reading and be sure to keep a look out for my posts, cheers!!
