New Zealand has always been very, very high on the "I want to go there" list for me. It has additional advantages of not being too far away from Tassie, so if working long distance, there is a possibility of getting back here if needed, and the time zone is easier to coordinate for speaking with my advisor. If there happened to be somepace there in terms of a free place to live for the short term, it would be very appealing.
Granted, all options in front of my now sound appealing, so I need to make time to do a formal list of pros and cons, but have been running all day. Perhaps this evening.
Talking to my advisor about what is still to be done, if I were just working, and not dealing with any stressors in my personal life, I could, conceivably, finish in one month. He expects that if I get a flat within walking distance of uni and do odd jobs in the department I could finish in two months, but if I head to north America, where I'd have an active social life, it might take six months to get the thesis submitted.
I suspect that going to NZ and leaving my stuff here in storage, the time to completion would be closer to what I could manage if I stayed here, but would have the added bonus of an adventure! So, please, if anyone there wants a one-to-two month housekeeper, in exchange for room and board, get them in touch with me. I don't eat much.
