"Where are you going?" "When are you going to come back?" "Are you going BY YOURSELF?" "You are leaving just like that?"
Please don't be horrified if I can't give precise answers to your desperate questions. I made my mind back in April. My only plan is improvisation. My goal is to help others.
Here is my tentative plan:
•
Jan 31st-February: Flying to San Jose, Costa Rica and staying with Manolo's tia for at least a month. I am planning to take spanish classes and volunteer. Dancing? of course!
•
March: Cuba. I have been trying to make contacts and get connections to stay with someone in Cuba. Hopefully I can get a visa with my Ukrainian passport in Costa Rica. The tickets are only $450 round trip and I can stady Salsa. ATACA~!
•
April: Hopefully Panama. I have exchanged a few e-mails with a tourism company Leading Adventure where I can help with tourists. Still waiting for the news.
•
May-August: Nicaragua. Will be volunteering in La Prusia y Casas de la Esperanza close to Granada. Main project: micro lending and teaching.
•
September: Peru ..... and maybe Chile.... but this plan is yet to be made.
January 2012: I quit my job, sold my car, bought a one-way to Costa Rica ticket and... Here I am in Latin America exploring the nature wonders and learning to travel solo. I hope you are going to enjoy traveling with me as this is meant to be a voice of my experience. ... full info
