Good luck on chasing your dreams! I know you can do it, it just takes a lot of planning.
First we are going to explore parts of south america since we are moving down to Costa Rica as a base point for our travels (because the cost of living is cheap there). But I'm sure it won't be more than a few months before we get bored with that and move on to different areas. I know we want to travel a lot of coastal regions at first, after living in the cold for so long we need a long break from it. lol.
