If you are going to sell everything and run, where would you go?
Especially interested in listening to those who want to live 'outside the network. "This is appealing to me, and with satellite Internet technology, which can live almost anywhere and not feel isolated the rest of the world. Where to go?
If you have a low income, and can speak Spanish. Costa Rica is a place to start. Located between Panama and Nicaragua, the capital city of San Jose is good, but not the most beautiful places there. Not a lot of garbage going on there as it was in previous years, when Nicaragua's Civil War (when Ronald Reagan and his Iran-Contra Affair) spread to Costa Rica. There are still remnants of rebel forces, in places almost inaccessible. What I am saying is that there is not much to worry about. Safer than in many places here in the U.S.. Have a good one! PS You may even think of the network for a time!
