New Zealand, Here I Come!!!

Well, not exactly! Had a nice exchange of comments with @valmnz in another post (check the link) She mentioned that after reading the post about the horrendous traffic situation in Manila, she is grateful where she lives. This comment of hers reminded me of the time that I was offered by a friend to work for her in her farm in New Zealand. I met here on-line in one of the forums that I'm active in and in the forum we had talked about here needing to hire help for her farm. I said that I do not have any experience working in a farm but would love to work in one given the chance. She went to Manila for a business trip and we decided to meet. It was a social meeting between on-line friends and although it was the first time we met, we clearly clicked. The opportunity to go to New Zealand and work in her farm came up again and like the first time it was brought up, I was up for the idea. She was surprised though to find out about my background - being a college graduate and having a decent paying job - and still willing to leave it all behind to work in a farm a thousand miles away from home picking apples! Anyway, she vetoed the idea! I'm 'over qualified' for the job! Plus, it really is a seasonal job and not one that would give me a 'career'. It was fun thinking about the probability of working abroad in a farm and all the opportunities that lay ahead of me. Well, it didn't push through but sometimes, I have thought about the 'what ifs'. What are the 'what ifs' in your life? Feel free to discuss.
