Weta - Year One

Today I left New Zealand, exactly one year to the day of my arrival. I am returning to the States for a 2 month holiday with a ton of priceless memories, loads of experience, and a much broader view of the world. In this past year I’ve been fortunate to work on a bunch of new films, I’ve made lots of new friends, and I’ve traveled all over the country as well as visited the Caribbean and Fiji…it’s a big change from serving Margarita’s at Chevy’s and eating Ramon Noodles every night.

On this 2 month hiatus, I look forward to spending some quality time with my girlfriend and her family, enjoying the winter holidays that I missed last year, and catching up with my family and friends who I’ve missed while I was 10,000 miles away.

I am returning for an additional 6 months to continue working on Avatar and enjoy the all too short New Zealand summer. I also plan on taking a trip to Australia in March. Hopefully, this year, I’ll have a few more visitors than last year.

I hope to see as many people as I can before I come back here in January.

Here is my itinerary.

Nov. 20 – Dec. 9th – Los Angeles
Dec. 10 – Dec. 16 – San Jose/San Francisco
Dec. 17 – Dec. 28 – Pittsburgh
Dec. 29 – Jan. 5th – Los Angeles/San Diego
Jan. 7th – Back in NZ


Happy Holidays!
