2 and 4. Good numbers.

2 = the amount of weeks until I officially COS (that's PC lingo for Close Of Service).

4 = the amount of weeks until I am sitting on a plane to fly to Buenos Aires, Argentina (actually, Mexico City first...I decided to save a few bucks and fly north to go south; totally normal for a girl who's on a budget, is used to spending a total of $20 a week or less, and loves adventures).

Other numbers? :

2 (yes 2 again, sorry if I am confusing things here) = the amount of years I have spent in Costa Rica in my community that has become home.

3 - ?? = the amount of countries in South America I am planning to travel to (side note: the word "plan" has become almost obsolete in my vocab by this point. That second 2 - 2 years in Costa Rica - and the tranquilo nature of Costa Ricans has taught me that God (or whatever higher power you believe in) really does figure things out for you in time. So we'll see where exactly I end up in South America...

2.5 = the months I will be exploring and playing and learning in South America.

2 - 3 = the amount of cups of coffee I now drink a day. Costa Rica coffee is just literally what you've heard about - out of this world. I hope the coffee stands a chance in South America. If not, I will just eat lots of...meat? Oops, that whole semi-vegetarian thing could be a problem...

Inifinity = the "ganas" as we say here in CR (means "desire" basically) to go - to travel, to see, to explore, to meet people. I won't stop until it feels right.

Lots, muchos, too many to count = the number of people I will be "leaving behind". I love you all dearly and am quite aware of how you have all opened me to life's potentials. Thank you.

1 = beautiful man, house and dog up on a magical hill who will remain with me, always.

Life is Good.

...So I'm off to keep exploring, living and "figurin' it out".
