Welcome back! This is my first post in almost three years! I cant believe it's been that long since I got back from my stint at traveling. I haven't really been anywhere since then, which is why this blog has been neglected. Since then, I made the decision to become a teacher and got a degree in education, only to enter the insanely competitive world of teaching. Looking for, and failing to find meaningful teaching work, and being demoralized and unmotivated with the job market in Ontario, I made the decision to pack up and move to London, England to teach starting in September 2010. It's a big move, and I'll probably be there for at least a year. And that just leaves the time in between to kill, so what will I do?
I will continue working at Camp Couchiching Outdoor Centre in the Spring, and then at Camp Micah in the Summer (H is for our home just for the summer!). From now to May, however, I have nothing to do. So for the first time since I got back from South America and Australia, I finally have the opportunity to travel again. I loved it so much the last time, I am going to do it again.
This time, my destination is Central America. Two weeks ago I literally made a spur-of-the-moment decision to book myself on a GAP Adventure throughout Central America for 8 weeks. I went on GAP before through Peru and Bolivia, and I loved it. It is a great way to see the world without the stress of organizing and planning too much. The GAP adventure is for six weeks, and then I will take two more weeks on my own in Costa Rica before I need to get back to Toronto.
I booked two weeks ago, and I leave Friday in 5 days! Countries on the itinerary: Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica:
I hope to post to this blog at least once or twice a week, just so I can personally record my experiences. I've been reading through some old posts and it brings back good memories that I would probably never have remembered otherwise. And this time I plan on keeping this thing alive as I am in Europe next year, and this is a travel blog. So drop by and read it if you like, and you can follow me through Central America.
Five more days to Mexico City!
