Sounds great. I too have 2 adult boys and now find I have the opportunity to make my major life change. Also like you I've been a nurse for 30+ years including time in senior management and felt I needed to get out. I've completed my TESOL training and am working out where to start....thinking of Asia as my starting point to seeing the world. Good luck with your ventures and keep in touch as its always good to hear about other places.

That's cool - if Mexico's your thing you might want to chat to these guys who are there at the minute to see if they've got any tips for you:

Also, while it's great that you're going to be learning Spanish, it's not essential if you want to go and teach English in South America - often language schools prefer it if their teachers don't speak Spanish, as it forces students to speak English and creates an English-speaking atmosphere.

Hope that helps - if you have any questions about teaching or different course options etc get in touch!

First, I would like to learn Spanish and work in Mexico, or Costa Rica .  Then I would like to visit Brazil and Ecuador.
