I don't know. Kids in schools/hospices is appealing. I'll do a search for the Central America ones.

You can teach children in loads of places. Bali, Costa Rica and Argentina are good choices usually.

I have absolutely no desire to ever travel south of the equator. the only exception being Australia/NZ but they are northern countries for all intents and purposes, and are separated by vast oceans from real southern countries. ben you get off on being an adventurer i think.

Not at all. I really like the idea of making travelling a priority. Just not sure I would do it alone.

It still terifies me but then I get there and you meet so many people straightaway that it is fine. Plus I see to many people go with friends and they fall out and then go it solo anyway (minus a friend they had from the UK).

I usually tell people that are doing it for the first time to join a small tour (somewhere like Thailand) to start with to ease into it and then plan the rest as they go as by then they feel more confident and know a few people.

Awesome. I honestly will look at every opportunity once I'm free, touring sounds like a good step. Glad to hear meeting others abroad doesn't sound troublesome.
