the long version

After 15 years in New Zealand, Joe Bennett asked himself where on earth he was. Joe Bennett went to New Zealand for a one year job. Fifteen years later, he's still there. What could it be about these two small islands on the edge of the world that kept this otherwise restless traveller for a decade and a half longer than planned? There was only one way to find out. He packed his bag, said farewell to his dog, and stuck out his thumb. And waited to see where the locals took him.
