No Portuguese allowed


As I said in my previous post, I am Brazilian, therefore Portuguese is my native language. However, one of the main goals for me in making this trip is to practice the English language as much as I can. So, everything in this blog will be written in English. You can still send your questions and comments in Portuguese if you wish to, but I'll be answering them in English.

Brazilians, don't get me wrong about it. It's just that I want to be as immersed in the language as I can. And writing daily in my blog is part of that immersed environment I seek to practice the language as well.

See you!

Kia ora* everyone! =)

Welcome to Working Holiday Kiwi !!!

My name is Tiago and I am from Brazil. I have created this blog to share all the experiences I will be going through in New Zealand in 2012. Here you will find pretty much everything about this trip. From my preparation, months in advance, until my return to Brazil, I will be writing tons of information about everything I find interesting in New Zealand!  My goal is to write one post per day while staying in the Kiwi land. I'm aware that time will probably be an obstacle while I'm in there, but, I swear you all, I will keep this promise.

As the blog's title suggests,  I am going to New Zealand with a Working Holiday Visa. It allows me to stay up to 1 year in the country, but I'm still not sure how much time I'll be staying there.

I have never visited another country before, so this will be a remarkable experience for me. Wish me luck! =)

If you have any suggestions, questions, criticisms, compliments... please, feel free to send me a message. I will be more than happy to get back to you as soon as I can!

Hope you guys enjoy it!! =D
