The Next Adventure

As the old saying goes...all good things must come to an end. And this can be said about our time together.

So it has come about that my time is coming to an end in Canada. While times here have been off the hook, i feel that it is the right time to move on. Where Chris is going to stick with it and try his luck in Vancouver, i have the urge to thrust myself into a different adventure. With the end of the month fastly approaching we see ourselves in the position of having no accommodation and no work. This pretty much puts us at the stage we were at when we first arrived. Where accommodation will be easier to find, work (or more so desired work) is a little bit slimmer.

Chris' new adventure is to fly it solo and try land some accommodation and work in North Vancouver as a chippy, whereas my luck in finding teaching positions are slim.

My new adventure is to completely mix it up and get away from everything. As of the end of the month i'm flying to Los Angeles to soak up the toursity attractions for 5 days, and then i'm jetting off to Costa Rica. From Costa Rica the plans are pretty sketchy and up in the air. The first plan is to head up to the north-western coast, grab a surfboard and find a beach shack for a month. After that i'll see how things are going and if it's still cruising i'll stick around for a while and keep playing it by ear. There are no real plans but eventually i'll trek down through Costa Rica into Panama and then onto the rest of South America. Trek through Columbia, Peru and then onto Chile. Apparently it's easy for Australian's to get a working visa there, and with high demand for foreign teachers, i should be sweet for a while.

I will continue to update this blog of my adventures, and will regularly try to report on the activities of Chris (as he probably won't do it himself). I'm sure we'll still stay in touch, but i'm not sure how often i'll be able to get the internet.
