Well done on the masters degree. It shows that you want to contribute and care about progress. You're young, a small hiccup in the scheme of things. Fiji, Tonga, Micronesia, Africa... plenty of places to get your fill. You could spend 2 weeks in NZ or Tassie and have an awesome surf trip. Hell, I bet there's waves in WA you haven't surfed that will cook your turkey and keep you frothing.
I think NZ is off the books but I'll check out the other places!
