Jen! Luckily, I have a surf trip coming up in a couple weeks. My "frugal" decisions will probably center around deciding to pay the extra $10 a night for air conditioning. And Rima, if I knew I could find work on the road - I would probably leave after the credit cards are paid off (actually, I might even leave today...). Instead, I try to cultivate some of my professional relationships to perhaps get some consulting work in the future. English teaching abroad? Is there room for anyone else? There seems to be a lot of scams that take people's money to place them in a teaching position. I've just put up some amazon links to cool products under "recommended". Maybe as an affiliate I could earn extra money on the road? Plenty to research (and write about). Take care! Rima! Jen!

Also, you have set some seriously tough goals for yourself, don't stress yourself out too much trying to meet them!! It makes me worry. You can always be like the guy in "Into the Wild", and work when you need too as you travel- that way, you can work and play at the same time, and not have to worry about running out of all the money you've planned for as you travel, or having to wait 2 more years to reach your goal! Your a free spirit- pay off your bills so you don't have to worry about them- then go have some fun!! Money is over rated :) Rima I agree with Jen- too much work and no play is no good!!! you want to be able to have some time to practice your surfing skills for your trip :) .
