Read Post  6 Ways to Live a Life of Passion and Adventure Right Now By Jeffrey Friend “Life is inherently risky. There is only one big risk you should avoid at all costs, and that is the risk of doing nothing. ” ~Denis Waitley I remember dreaming for years about living abroad. First it was Italy so that I could discover my roots. Then it was Fiji because it seemed like the furthest place from Los Angeles (which I actually did, but only for two months during the summer of 2003). After Fiji, there was an eight-year gap that was full of college and Corporate America. My daily routine involved waking up early, working all day, and studying all night. As I’m writing this I can picture myself a year and a half ago, sitting in my office and gazing out of the 20th floor wondering what it would be like to live in another country. Then one day I chose to stop dreaming. Instead, I chose to start planning. I was fed up with my inability to take action and go for what I wanted. I gave myself eight months to save enough money, plan where I would go, and tie up any loose ends. My goal was to live abroad for a year. I worked two jobs, sometimes three, so I could save enough money for the school loans and credit card bills I would still have to pay while I was gone. I had no social life, but I knew that I was working toward a life-changing experience. I wanted to get over the fluency hump in Spanish, so I looked into countries in Latin America. I also wanted to give back, so I looked into volunteer opportunities. In September of 2011 I quit my job and moved to Costa Rica. I volunteered for two months teaching English at a local school in a poor neighborhood. It was rewarding beyond belief. Then I spent a month getting TEFL certified so I could continue my travels and make money teaching English along the way. Suddenly, panic struck. In December I thought the money was going to run out and I would have to go home. As fate would have it, two weeks before I was due to leave, a friend told me about a job opening at a local company she had just started working at. She knew my background was in marketing and social media, and they just happened to have a Social Media Manager opening. I interviewed and got the job! Then, as fate would have it (again), the Director of Communications quit the day I started. After the initial shock, I decided that my journey didn’t end there and applied for her position. That same week I became the new Director of Communications for a multi-million dollar company in Costa Rica. What! It hasn’t all been great. I’ve made a lot of mistakes. Through those mistakes, though, I’ve come up with these seven life lessons that you can use whether you’re living abroad, wanting to live abroad, or just wanting a new adventure. 1. Just do it. Just pick up and move if you want to move. Just put your resume out there and start interviewing if you want to find another job. If you want to write a book, just do it already! Will it be easy? Maybe, maybe not. Will it be rewarding? Absolutely. Do what it takes to prepare. The point is to actually take action rather than just planning it in your mind for months or years and constantly making excuses as to why you “can’t” do it. 2. When faced with sink or swim, choose swim. The way that people drive in Costa Rica is a cross between Mission Impossible car chases and Motocross (jumps included). I came from Los Angeles, and most people think that L. A. has the worst drivers. Not so much. If you don’t swim, you crash, or you cause an accident to happen and you put yourself and others in danger. You must drive like a maniac, and you must get used to it. You must swim. This obviously goes for any cultural differences. First observe, then learn, and then swim. It’s always more fun to enjoy the culture from the inside. 3. Erase expectations from your mind. When I thought of Costa Rica, I thought of white sand beaches, constant sunlight, and beautiful sunsets. What it actually is for me: living a mile-high in a rainforest, constant clouds (and rain of course), and really cold. I’m not sure they could be more opposite. What I have gained, though, is a newfound love of nature. I used to be so scared of nature growing up because I’ve always lived in cities. The only nature I knew about was in scary movies, and you know what happens to people in scary movies when they’re out in nature! Maintain an open mind. You never know where life will take you, and for what reason. 4. Make mistakes as often as possible. When speaking Spanish, I was scared I would say something incorrectly and that people would make fun of me for it. Then I realized I’m never going to learn by being quiet and only speaking Spanish in my head. My vocabulary and fluency have grown immensely since making that decision. When doing something new, it’s best to just get out there and start making as many mistakes as you can. You will mess up, and people will correct you, and you will learn. 5. Live in a constant state of wonder. When we move somewhere new or start at a new job, our world is full of excitement and wonder, right? Everything is so cool! You tell all of your friends and family all about it. Then, as time passes on, it starts to become more normal. The excitement fades and the wonder disappears. Even if you have lived in the same area or worked at the same company for a long time, there are still wonders to be discovered and exciting things to see. Try to put on some wonder-glasses, and attempt to see your “same” world as a whole new world. You’ll be amazed by what happens. 6. Stay in touch with those you love. It’s really easy to get caught up in a new adventure and forget to keep in touch. However, I’ve learned that it’s so important that family and friends know that I’m always thinking about them and that I miss them. Plus, it always feels so good to hear their voice and see their face through Skype. If you asked me a year and a half ago what I thought I would be doing, this would have never even been on the radar. It’s not until we take the leap of faith (with a bit of planning) that we really reap the benefits. It hasn’t been all great things, and there have been some big struggles along the way, but in the end it always ends up better when you go for your dreams. What’s your current adventure?

My 2018 Travel Adventures

2018 was a big year of travel for me. I proudly managed to go somewhere every month, even if it was just for a night or two! In 2018, I made it to 9 different countries (5 of them totally new countries), 5 continents, and 7 different states. I also launched Homeroom Travel.

Countries Visited: South Korea, United Kingdom, Portugal, Morocco, Italy, Colombia, Ecuador, and Canada

States Visited: Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Washington, Arizona, Illinois, and Nevada

Almost every year, I am fortunate enough to start my year on the East Coast. In 2018, I started the year off in Philadelphia with my husband, Casey. I explored some new places around the city and ate delicious Philly Cheesesteaks. We then journeyed to visit my family in New Jersey and meet up with my mom. After a few days in Jersey, my mom and I spent some time in New York City, where we survived the bomb cyclone of 2018!

I kicked February off with a trip to Chicago to celebrate one of my cousin’s 21st birthdays. We explored Chicago with a group of 10 people. We explored some of the newer sites of Chicago such as “The Ledge” at Willis Tower and ate our way through the city. The highlight was the Goose Island Brewery Tour.

March and April granted me a week off for Spring Break! I had originally wanted to spend it in Europe, but I scored very inexpensive tickets to South Korea that I could not pass up! It was a new country that I had been wanting to visit. Thus, my husband and I spent 10 days exploring Seoul and Busan. I thought my stomach would burst from the amount of Korean BBQ and chicken I ate. I also got to experience a Korean Baseball Game which is a bit different than an American Baseball Game!

South Korea Articles

Every year at the end of April, I take about 120 seventh graders from my school to science camp on Catalina Island. Students spend three days in science labs, snorkeling, and learning about marine life. I always enjoy the amazement they get when they get to touch a shark and see the animals in their natural habitat.

The end of May led to the end of the school year which meant SUMMER VACATION!!

To kick off the summer, my husband and I ventured to another new country, Morocco. Along the way, we had a long layover in London which enabled me to FINALLY visit Windsor Castle. My last London trip got interrupted with a family emergency and I had to fly home before being able to see it.

We then had an overnight layover in Lisbon, Portugal which enabled us to explore another new country! Even though we had such a short time there, we packed a lot into that time. It is definitely a place I want to go back to (especially so I can drink more port and eat more egg tarts)!

Two days after we departed from Los Angeles, we made it to Morocco. Casey and I spent a couple days exploring Fes. Then we embarked on a three-day desert tour where we rode a camel and spent the night in the Sahara Desert! The desert tour ended in Marrakech where we spent a few more days wandering around the medina. Although I enjoyed visiting Morocco, it is not a place I would visit again.

After our week in Morocco, we headed to Italy to meet up with our friends, Deedee and Andrew! We spend a week exploring Tuscany, tasting all kinds of Italian wine, and eating endless pizza and pasta. We took day trips to Florence and Siena. After a relaxing week, we headed down to Rome for a few days. It was a wonderful experience to travel with our friends and explore more of Italy.

To celebrate Fourth of July, we met us with our friends, Molly and Alex in Northern Washington and spent several days at a lake cabin. Afterwards , we visited Casey’s sister, Chloe, in Seattle. I finally made it to the Chihuly Gardens and Glass, which was worth the visit. We also visited the new observation deck of the Space Needle.

To finish off my summer, I spent two weeks exploring two more new countries, Colombia and Ecuador, with my mom. Both places were countries that surprised me. I enjoyed them so much more than I thought I would. South America is also great for traveling teachers because it is SO affordable. Bogota had amazing food and unbelievable views. The most memorable part of Ecuador was spending two nights in the Amazon.

South America Guides

Shortly after kicking off a new school year, I spent my first weekend back to work celebrating another cousin’s 21st birthday in Las Vegas. My mom’s side of the family is quite large (she is one of eight) and we had thirty-one family members in attendance. It was a memorable family memory we will be talking about for years to come! In Vegas, I highly recommend going to see the Chainsmokers perform at XS.

At the beginning of September, Casey, Chloe, and I spent the weekend in Los Angeles. I always try to spend at least one weekend a year in Los Angeles, so I can continue to get to explore the area I live in. I went to Perch for the first time and I really liked the atmosphere!

At the end of September, Casey and I took a road trip to Tucson, Arizona to visit our friends who live there. We also attended the Arizona State vs. USC football game. We made some unforgettable memories that weekend and enjoyed time with our friends.

October brought about the opportunity for me to spend the weekend in Venice Beach to attend the Fujifilm Festival. Here I was able to refine my photography skills and learn more about editing photos. It was such a fantastic opportunity and I am thankful I was able to attend.

The end of October I finally made it to Toronto, a city I had been wanting to visit for a while. Although I only had a weekend to explore, I saw a lot in that short time. It is definitely a city I would like to visit again during summertime.

Explore Los Angeles

Living in California makes it easy to take a quick trip up to Napa for some wine tasting. My mom and I enjoyed visiting a couple wineries, the Jelly Belly Factory, and wandering around Sacramento. It was the perfect getaway to start my Thanksgiving break.

To celebrate our wedding anniversary, we went to Vegas with our friends Val and Phil. I explored the Fremont Street area this time. I found that I liked it a lot better than the Strip!

To wrap up the year, Casey, my mom, and I ended up in New Jersey. The east coast is always so magical this time of year (maybe because sometimes it snows). We spent a day in Atlantic City strolling the boardwalk and the rest of the time with family.

2018 brought many magical memories. In 2019, my goal is to again travel somewhere every month, continue to expand Homeroom Travel, and make it to my 50th country! What were some of your 2018 travel adventures?
