It sails around the World on three (four?) month voyages. They hire translators and English teachers but the positions aren't paid...but you get a chance to visit 15-20 countries and all of your expenses (room and board) are taken care of. It's a great opportunity and you should look into it! I have friends who did it and said it was an awesome experience... Thanks everybody for your comments!

I think that living abroad makes that easier because everything is so fresh and different so it makes seeing things from a different perspective a Hell of a lot easier. But I think that we can do that from home, too. At least I'm going to try to. @Chase – I think that learning how to’find the extraordinary in the mundane’ is sort of why we’re all here…don’t ya think?

After a few months with old friends, family, and new job opportunities however, things looked up for the next several years. But now we're in Tokyo and who knows, maybe something similar will pop up for you again in a few years. <br /><br />Good luck and God bless you in your travels!<br />Brad <br /><br />http://thewhitesintokyo.blogspot.com/ I just stumbled on your blog when doing a little research on packed Japanese trains.
