The Clog

This started as a blog about living abroad for 7 months, but the reality of getting a job has me talking about other topics while in between countries. (Above photo taken on return trip from Mexico, 2008. Looks like castles in the sky.)

9 days and counting . . .

I will be in beautiful Costa Rica in nine days! I have been in regular contact with Terrillyn, the woman who owns the house I will be sitting. I will be on "lock-down", as I am to remain present at the house at all times in case there are squatters or thieves. I have to admit, I'm shitting my pants a bit. There are some alligators in the lake and lots of ants that bite. There are, however, locks on the windows and doors.

I am allowed to leave the house once a week to go to town to buy food and such, when the gardener comes to work. Other than that, I will be working diligently on producing the best photos and the most interesting video footage I can find for the narrative film "Solo Female Budget Traveler".

After this ten week assignment, I will use Terrillyn's house as a home base to explore the rest of Costa Rica, of course, on a budget, and then continue to other parts of Central America for more budget travel footage and substantial information.

Here is the "pilot" I am using to raise funds for my project on kickstarter.com
