Ewan Kingston, 27, professional traveller, has recently decided to make the UK his home for a while. Speaking from a friends house in Cadillac, Southwest France, Ewan expressed both a weariness of travel and excitement at spending time in the isle where his extended family live.
"Including within Aotearoa, Ive been travelling for almost a year. Its time to let the soul be settled and with luck, recharge the bank account. I'll hopefully be working quite hard for a lot of my time in the UK to save up money, but I should be able to see a lot of the Rennie clan as well at some point"
Ewan said he was about to head north towards the English channel by bicycle, despite the approaching winter. "Ive had enough of searching for that endless summer."
Ewan also added that he would most like to work and live in Scotland, where his maternal Grandparents came from but would also be happy to be based anywhere if the right job was available, especially if family were close to hand. The areas he will be optimistically looking to work in will be research, library work, and perhaps communications and publishing. He is prepared for the fact he will probably do some hospitality or retail work at some point.
Asked about his experience of the grape harvest, Ewan said. "The work was boring, but the conditions were ok and the people were very friendly and helpful, some exceptionally so. It also turned out to be a great way to meet interesting people and learn French. At the end of the vendange, we threw the foreman into a trailer full of grapes."
