(in order of appearance)
Mick Walsh, 28, New Jersey,USA. Mick can't get enough of the travel bug, and New Zealand was the 3rd stop on her latest tour.  She even prolonged her stay in the land of the sheep shagger because she was having such a great time. Check out  pictures and stories of the USA trip at Bad Girl Road USA Trip or from Australia at Down Under with nOnSEquiTurMicK.
Paul Glitherow, 22, Surrey, England. After graduating university with a B.A. in criminology, Paul took a round the world tour of Southeast Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and the USA.  His hip-hop, gangster lifestyle ironically and amusingly clashes with his polite demeanor and English accent.
Sam Cayze, 24, Wisconsin,USA. Sam, a former computer technician at St. Cloud State University in Minnesota, has been dabbling with alternative career opportunities while criss-crossing through New Zealand.  He's been opting for construction sites over the glowing screens of an office.  His website has loads of pictures of the Kiwi adventures: http:www.sbcayze.com/nz/
Sula Bancroft, 24, London, England. Sula formally worked for Budweiser as a jeep-driving publicity girl, but she gave up that high-class glamour life to pursue her dream of being a cowgirl! She castrated and whipped up cattle in Australia, and now she is a horse trek guide in Queenstown, NZ. 
Dave Tofel, 24, New York, USA. Dave dropped his paralegal job in NYC to regrow his long-lost dredlocks and to resort back to his hippie ways.  In New Zealand for a year, he has worked as a parachute packer for a skydiving company and now manages a backpackers hostel in Queenstown. In his spare time, he can be found listening to Salmonella Dub and The Disco Biscuits.
Suzi Brett, 24, London, England. Suzi's visit to New Zealand was a mere 5 weeks long.  She had to return to her stimulating profession of teaching 5 year-olds in London. A childhood friend of Sula and the queen organizer of team S.P.A.M. (Sam, Sula, Suzi, Paul, And Mick), Suzi kept us all on track.
