How to freak out Mom so fast...

Everyone has their own reality.

I mentioned the thought of volunteering as an engineer in Latin America. Spend a year learning Spanish and teaching technology and setting up alt eng systems. Ride my motorcycle around Guatemala or one of those stories.

I'm apparently certifiably crazy for that idea. Who knew? Sounds pretty good to me...

I can do two weeks in Costa Rica for 2500 on a motorcycle, pretty much all inclusive (hotel, air fare, motorcycle, arrangements, meals...some dinners might be a little pricier.) If I go as a volunteer, I can teach science/engineering seminars, and only pay for the flight, and take spanish lessons. (Although this takes more arranging).
