A lot of people have been asking about where we’ll be when. My last day at work is the 22nd of August. We’ll probably be climbing Mt Rainier with my little bro that week, and then tying up lose ends in Seattle and leaving the 28th for Eastern Washington to see my family. September 5th we’ll be flying to Connecticut to see some of Kim’s friends and family. On the 12th we’ll be flying to Florida to see Kim’s grandma and parents, and later my aunt in uncle. Finally on the 25th we’ll fly from Miami to Lima, Peru.
We’ll be volunteering in Huanchaco for a volunteer agency called Otra Cosa. To start I’ll be teaching English at the volunteer language school
and Kim will be helping out in the vegetarian restaurant. A month later we’ll both be teaching English to guides in Leymebamba.
After that we’ll probably be doing some hiking in the Andes near Huaraz and of course hike to Machu Picchu.
After that we’re going to just see how we feel. We’re tentatively planning a trip through the Amazon by boat to go to Brazil and a visit to Ecuador to visit Madre Tierra was recommended to us and sounds like a nice treat after a lot of roughing travel. Everything for months after that we’ll figure out as we go. Who knows, maybe we’ll end up in Antarctica, but I doubt that’s in our budget this trip.
In April we’ll see how our money is holding out and either change our return flight to stay longer or come back to the US. Coming back we don’t really have definite plans on where we’ll be living or working.
