This is about the closest topic I can find, for the comment Im putting in.
But we have a friend of the family who is a truck driver. We've known him for many, many years. Ive watched him gain weight around the tummy from his job, lol, but he's still a jolly guy.
Anyway, my daughter (shes 29) went with him this weekend, on a short haul to Az from here in Calf. She loved it! She never knew there was so much more to driving truck than simply....driving. But they had a good time, and related to my experience in driving truck, though she's never ridden with me.
Anyway, she needed the break, and though she couldnt drive it, much less, cant drive a stick anyway, she enjoyed the view, the quiet ride and helping 'navigate' and do his log books (he already knew where he was going but wanted her to feel useful, lol).
So.....to all our fellow truckers, without truckers, we know America would stop!
Since a long term visas would probly be out of the question, I'd get a real big open end EuroPass and what ever other passes would get me around 'the continent'. I go from one country to another and try to get to know the 'under side' of their culture.
Just for grins and giggles, if you up and moved to another part of the world one day...Where would you think you would want to go? Forget jobs, cost of living, etc. Just say you had 1/2 a million dollars and a good enough job to start paying the bills as soon as you got there...No kids to worry about, assume you can get by the language barrier for now, etc.
I'd just pocket the money and stay where I am. I've already lived abroad and gotten all that out of my system.
Bolivia somewhere probably right outside of La Paz.. maybe around El Alto. With a summer home on the north shore of Peru around Chiclayo.
