Nicole's Adventures

When I arrived back in AZ, I had to nail down the details of how I would go about getting a new passport, and gather everything I needed for my Korean C4 visa... However after much research, ideas, and phone calls, It was impossible to get it all done. I sadly emailed the camp telling them I wouldn't be able to make it. I knew everything would happen for a reason and things would work out. I knew my time in America would be very busy and full of amazing visits. On July 2nd, I headed to Seattle where I would play with a team of former English Teachers in Korea at one of the largest Ultimate Frisbee tournaments in the USA, Potlatch . It was incredible to be reunited with so many great friends, and then to meet ones that had come after I left. There were four generations of Homey Goat Captains all together, plus so much other shennigans. Everyone camps at the fields for the tournament and there are port a potties, and a nearby athletic club where we showered which we could take bus...

As I catch up on posting all sorts of things from my travels, I've gotten a few messages on facebook about how I can do what I do.. And the answer is simple, not as expensive as you think, and if there is a will there is a way.   I love this article . The girl is working as she goes and just free for all. I do like to visit home, but like her cannot see myself living in the US for an extended period of time yet. There are still so many places around the world to see and things to do that I just can't imagine myself being happy in the USA yet.. Don't worry, I think one day I will return.  Like the article talks about, you can kind of work or volunteer for your bed or your meals as you travel and cut your costs even further. I haven't done a ton of this, but I know that the options are plentiful and available. Sometimes it may seem hard to find online, but when you are on the road you encounter them constantly. I've met several other people who are also on extend...

I was able to use the internet just one time after starting our sailing journey, and hopped on for a few minutes to tell my mom that I was alive and well (even though she had the GPS tracker emails), and then see if I had any email updates about the job in Korea. I had a grand surprise that my best friend Maureen had booked her ticket to Cancun. Just before the sailing journey, my other friend Daniel (Spiegs) also booked his ticket to come and see me. Cancun had fairly cheap flights from the states and couldn't have been more excited to start my trip with a friend (Tyler) in Costa Rica, and finish with Spiegs & Maureen. I had messaged them before I left to start coordinating what to do and really felt badly that I couldn't help plan more but I wouldn't be online so they had to do the planning work.. Which normally I wouldn't do much of but since there would be three of us, it could have been more important to have an idea of what we were going to do. I was a litt...
