My subject title is kind of an oxymoron isn't it? Moving but I don't know where...
To start off.. my name's Derrick. I am 26 years of age living right across from good ol' Manhattan.
Money center of the world. NYC. Over the past few years I started truly really thinking,
"What do I want to do with my life?" I want to be happy but imagining myself working for the next 40 years until retirement (I'm assuming) with only 7 holidays a year, is that really considered happiness?
Same routine day after day. I think I gave up already.
Over these past two years I have met Argentinians online and one day with the adrenaline just rushing through I said... do it. It was a decision I would never regret. May 2014 I traveled out to Argentina and met many of my online friends. I had such a great time. I stayed in one of the poorest areas but the people were so humble and traditional. They were not rich but they were rich in heart. It was a very emotional trip for me and the family there that helped me out. It was a real blessing. Since that day I found myself where I wanted to be. Life was so simple.
I never even seen a toilet without a flush lever on it. I had to use a bucket filled with water to flush down the toilet lol
I loved it. I had to fly back and I did again this past January. I was so convinced I was going to move there and
start my family with a beautiful Argentinian girl, until I met her... Her name is Araceli.
She's from Paraguay and I had no intentions on falling for her since I was in love with Argentina but she was so sweet, humble and beautiful. We talk everyday and skype whenever possible. I am devoting a lot of my time with her and have the urge to visit Paraguay next year and possibly choose Asunción as my final stop of travels.
I have a couple of questions and I am sorry for writing a book but I suppose when you are passionate about something you really just go on and on.
I am in the Service Technicians Union for heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVAC/R). Is this a trade that is prosperous out in the capital of Paraguay? I also speak spanish since I am half Panamanian and Dominican but born here so my main language is English.
I would also love to save more money but I want to leave as soon as possible once I reach my goal of 50,000 USD.
I want to start moving on with my life and start enjoying it before I become a crusty old man, rotten and used by the system that runs the show here in the states. I know I can't buy a house with 50,000 but for rent and normal expenses around the house, will 50,000 USD be enough to last me a year or two just in case I can't find work ?
I appreciate any answers or comments. I'm sorry to bore you guys to death! My intentions were to get straight to the point but as you can see, I went in a little deep.
God Bless!
