How to freak out Mom so fast...

[learnteach]

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...

Moms hear stories on the news about people being kidnapped and held for ransom. White Americans, that is. This freaks out moms. OTOH, you are a rather large strong man who has a black belt in karate, and clearly not a wimpy businessman with large sums of money.

I know a guy who spent a year in South America, and it changed his perspective forever. He had a tough time coming back to plasticland (OC CA), and was a teacher for a while and is now an actual beach bum in Hawaii. YMMV. :-)
