How did you end up moving away anyway?
I had always traveled solo around the world, even during my drinking years. So I was familiar with the area. After I got sober (almost 4 years ago) I knew I needed a major lifestyle change. So I scoured the web for a job that I could work online. I didn't need much - heck, I just wanted to get by. I got the job, ended up being a great fit. Worked my butt off for 8 months from Chicago to secure my role, then sold all my belongings and moved to Antigua Guatemala (similar to San Cristobal de las Casas, I believe Melina mentioned it). Still have the job, have a great house, and a truck and I travel around Central America via my truck or tiny planes to see the region as much as I can. Totally worth it, it was always a goal of mine to live abroad (for real) and I am very happy with it.
