Hi Kathleen! We just met two weeks ago in Buena Vista Surf Club – me and my boyfriend Thomas (from Switzerland) stayed there for three nights during our surf trip through Nicaragua. I asked you how you had found your job in Nicaragua – and you told me about escapethecity.com… Yesterday we arrived back in Switzerland, and I was right now looking to escape for real. How funny the first blog here I read is from you! Thanks for the great time in Playa Maderas and for the inspiration
I hope you and Jordan have a good time in Nica and I wish you all the best for the future. And who knows, maybe we’ll see us again…
Julie
P.s. Greetings to Mark and Marielle!

This is amazing, I feel like I am reading about my future! I too feel there has to be more to life than my corporate job and I read the ESC emails/opportunities but have yet to apply for any…I recently decided to take my YTT while my husband completes his apprenticeship and then we are off for a sabatical in 2014. I keep thinking maybe we’ll find an opportunity like you have and create a new life overseas! Maybe we’ll see you at Buena Vista Surf CLub one day!
