- 33. SECOND step ★ Figured out a job to do remotely / Checked for grants / gap year subsidizing / ... ★ We went to the accountant and asked what is possible ★ Went 4 cheap tickets (Airstop / Connections) and checked early booking ★ We told our clients we were leaving.

Thailand and Brazil turned out to be hard due to the language. Monday 27 June 2011
- 41. THE HARD STUFF III ★ Some countries are not what you thought they would be. Argentina turned out very expensive. And too big for weekend trips.
