4 months to burn?

Why not go to Colombia?

After reading and reading and reading and trying to determine what exactly I want to get out of a trip for the next four months I have finally chosen Colombia. Runners up are Panama, and Turkey.

I was all set to nab a flight to Istanbul when I noticed the flight price dropped $300 if I went a month later. And a round trip ticket to Central America right away was... that's right, $300. A "free" trip/new destination!

After my year in Korea (if I want to try another country at that point) I figure it will be easier (cheaper) to get to Turkey than South/Central America. Plus I want to visit with some friends in Germany at some point, the round trip from Turkey is really reasonable.

I picked up a 1 way, so if I am not feeling Colombia I can bail in April and still go to Turkey without blowing too much more cash than I was already planning on.

Who the fuck IS this guy?

This guy has hundreds of clips all over the world ending with his smug, "where have YOU been?". How is he paying for this shit? Is he making money off of these somehow? (I haven't really read his profile or anything yet, so those answers might actually be obvious)

And yes, I am jealous.

This clip is fairly uneventful, but I like the shots of Casco Viejo.

New Developements

I'm not off to a good start with this Korea TEFL blog, a few days ago I got word from my English teaching certification people I have to push my start date back to July.. never mind the fact that I have had all my shit together for the last 6 weeks and they took over a month to email me back.

I was angry, and now I'm trying not to be bitter. Good thing I graduated a semester early right? Now I can sit on my ass for 6 months doing nothing.

Instead of being really cool and living with my parents until July I'm going to travel and blow my savings. I won't say which countries I'm interested in because 1- there are too many of them and 2- the one I eventually pick may not even be on the list.

I hope to make the final decision in a few days and hop on that plane by Feb 23rd. Wish me luck.
