Suzie here from beautiful New Zealand.

I'm new to freelancing and looking forward to connecting with other freelancers and learning the tricks of the trade.

I'm currently learning about blogging with wordpress and SEO.

Welcome. Is New Zealand all as beautiful as it looks in the Lord of the Rings movies?

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome.

NZ is an AMAZING place. Alright I will admit we get rain and fog, but we also have spectacular mountains, beaches, fiords, hot pools, geysers, skiing and no snakes. Hard to believe you can find all that in one itty bitty country, right?

P.S. Tepelus is that image from Narnia? Did you know that was filmed here in New Zealand? Yep, we're more than Hobbiton here :)

Sometimes I wish we did have snakes. I like snakes.
I am bitterly disappointed that fire ants have established themselves in the country though. Those things are the worst.

Seriously? We have fire ants? Why did no one tell me?

And thanks everyone for the welcome

There is a bit of a Kiwi enclave here. Once you learn the secret handshake we can let you in on the plans [shhh].

A couple of years ago I read that there are several colonies established around Auckland (particularly near the airport... go figure) and that they weren't very optimistic about getting rid of them. Best bet is to live in the South Island :)
