I’ve started to get back into the job search, and even I know it’s still probably way too early, I just want to stay on top of it just in case anything comes up. Right now, most schools are still filling positions for the semester starting with May, but as long as the posts don’t say May specifically, I’ll still apply. And, I guess it’s paying off because I just had my first interview.

Why Now Is the Best Time to Travel The World
Why Now Is the Best Time to Travel The World
Yes, we’re going to be doing something beyond amazing for the next year and a half but I am so proud of us for having the courage to take this chance, because most people don’t.
"Please be a traveler, not a tourist. Try new things, meet new people, and look beyond what's right in front of you. Those are the keys to understanding this amazing world we live in."

Back to The South America Bus Situation – Argh!
Ok, back to this, yet again. I expected it to be hard to find insurance, flights, tours, but busses were probably the last thing I expected to have trouble with. I’ve probably spent an entire day all together so far figuring out this bus situation and here’s what I’ve found:

This is How I Know it Will All Be Worth It.
And then, whenever I get stressed or overwhelmed with all of this planning… I find a picture like this and know how worth it it’ll all be in the end 🙂
Finding Busses Are a Pain and Visas are Expensive
As I’m sure you saw in our itinerary, once we’re done with Machu Picchu, we’ll be flying to Iguaza falls and then we’ll be taking buses for every leg between there and when we depart Buenos Aires for Delhi. So, we need to find the following bus routes:
"The craziest part of RTW travel is that so many people think it is out of reach for them. Yet people waste money constantly on things that don't make them happy.

All it takes is the courage to dream big and then set goals and make it happen."
Pre-Thailand Trip (RTW 1.0) is Booked!
It took a couple full days, a lot of playing around with our itineraries, all of the airline miles that we’ve been saving, and a couple of angry phone calls to Cheap Tickets, but we’re finally pretty much all set with the two month trip we’re taking before moving to Thailand, and all I have to say is that it’s going to be AWESOME.
