I mean at times it's stressful to work seven days a week and stay on top of living a somewhat healthy life, but I am hell-bent on saving money, because let's face it, it's always better on holiday, and I believe that the harder I work now, the easier life will be later. This has yet to be verified. So, I should start by saying that I will leaving in December, to drive to Costa Rica.There you have it, the official announcement.
