Maybe Asia, Maybe Chile

I was sitting around this brilliantly sunny Sunday and I was hit with that anxiety driven ¨what-do-I-do-with-my-life-now,¨ thought. I decided that having a degree truly helped me none in deciding what I currently want to do. Please, don´t get me wrong... getting a degree was by no means a waste of time or a mistake, but I literally am not too sure what I want to do. Technically, I have an idea, but on how to combine, writing, speaking Spanish, traveling, being green (kinda), helping publicly, promoting safety of health, drinking wine, yoga, and women's rights, all while wearing a snappy outfit and making some good money seems like asking for the golden egg.

So I got on google, and just fudged around and finally came up with a thought.........

Teaching English in Asia, South Korea, China, or Japan.

Okay, this includes traveling, helping publicly, learning a new foreign language, and definitely drinking.

So I went to town on some crazy research. After 3 eye crossing hours staring into a computer, I have found numerous reviews, visa requirements, ways to avoid being scammed, ways to avoid being scammed by reading even more publishing's on things like ¨ways to avoid being scammed,¨ accommodations, resources, pay....... I´m sure I´ll have to sit on this for awhile, (like I would a golden egg), perhaps include various people in on my thoughts, nevertheless, maybe my next stop will be Seoul or Beijing.

On a relatively closer note, I started getting some traveling plans together for my end of Argentina trip. I have about 15 days of free time before I need to venture back to Buenos Aries and get on the USA bound Airbus. I will be traveling with a friend I have since met while volunteering. Our only plan is at some point to venture to Mendoza, AR and do a bike riding wine tour. That´s classy my friends, Courtney on a bike, with a triumphant glass of Malbec in one hand and trying to navigate a bike through foreign land! (I hope I remember how to ride a bike, better do a practice pedal pre wine consumption).

After that adventure, (which I´m sure will become known as the Mendoza incident), there may be some traveling to Chile. This would be great for the mere idea of hitting another South American country, yes, and as well I can update my soon to be expired Visa...in case it´s a big deal at the airport. After that, nothing is set in stone. Hopefully, I will be able to meet up with another friend, a native New Mexican on the Argentine-Chilean trail, and we too can see some sights, drink some (more) wine, and have a good time.

If anyone has information or suggestions on my current travels, perhaps suggestions on Chile and where to visit, or on my Asia-Bound-Adventures, please e mail me!

Also, in a previous story(s), I spoke of the traditional drink mate. I was writing it with an accent over the e like such ¨maté.¨ Thankfully, someone informed me that when putting an accent over the e, the word the becomes the past tense to ¨I Kill.¨ So basically I was telling everyone that I was drinking ¨I killed¨ with the family. Sorry...kinda

And before I forget, Happy Mother´s Day!
