For the clumsy oafs and low achievers amongst us, it comes as some small consolation to hear that Sarah McCaffrey found something she couldn’t master during her year ‘out’ in New Zealand.

She worked a ski season on the South Island as a barista and did lots of travelling, hiking and camping before moving up to spend her last few months in a big surfing town “which I tried and failed at,” she grins.
