this is the greatest concept ever!
i’ve been pondering doing this for awhile now as I enter the 5th year of a career i hate pushing paper for a faceless corporation!! i’ve actually been saving a lot for this and will do it for Jan 2013, in time for my 31st bday!! Thinking of backpacking South America and studying spanish for 4 months (canadian-born to colombian parents so i speak spanish but want to become more fluent) and maybe stay down if i can use my skills and trilingualism to some benefit!
Nice ! Thx for the great compliment Camilo. Yes, 100% you should go on a Freedom Year. Like you, I too was getting restless after 5+ years working for a big corporation.
Only You Can Make Your Freedom Year Dreams a Reality
I spent 8 months traveling through South America – loved every minute of it. Went from the tip of Colombia to the tip of Argentina – Tierra del Fuego. Amazzzzzing. Go after it.
Camilo, please email me at anthony@freedomyear.com. I will want to follow your story as I develop this site more and more. Case studies of people like you and me will inspire others to follow their dreams.
Abrazos!
Hi Anthony,
You have created a great looking site. Attractive, easy to read and navigate through, cleanly comprehensive and so helpful. More importantly, so very inspiring. I am one of those in the 60-ish category who would love to have a freedom year, but alas, spouses must always be considered.
So, to all of you readers who have the freedom to have a freedom year…do it now and don’t look back. And good for you, Anthony!!
aloha,
denise
