There's a lot of information on the Internet...

Getting slightly overwhelmed.

I'm still really excited to be planning such a lengthy trip but there is so much that I need to research. I'm not even completely positive about which countries I want to go to. As I find out more about Central America, it's hard to believe that I will be able to do everything that I would like in 6 months. I don't know if that's possible but it would be absolutely incredible to extend my trip either a few more months or make it a year long adventure.

But I'm getting ahead of myself.

Firstly, I really need to figure out exactly which countries I would like to go to. I have a basic idea and have already started looking up recommended cities and sites pertaining to each county. I think the next thing that I would like to do would be coming up with a tentative calendar. I'm interested in spreading out wwoofing throughout the trip and, since you need to become a paying member for each country that you would like to wwoof, I need to figure out when and where I would like to go. Reading about the Costa Rican farms that I could possible work for has added to my excitement to travel.

Also, I may start using Facebook a bit more.

I've recently been getting very tired of Facebook. Every now and then people post interesting articles and news, but for the most part it's nothing I really need to know. Yet, I'm now acutely aware of the people who have been or are traveling. I think I'm going to send a few messages to get some travel advice. I know that most of them are not traveling for such lengthy times, but they might still have some interesting tips.

I think I'm done with research for today.

While it was fun to read articles about different countries/cities/sites, I believe I'm done for the day. I need to have a few good hours researching with the person I'm traveling with. Doing this by myself is fun but I can never be sure if they'll be happy with my decisions. Today I read about chicken buses, Costa Rican farms, 6 month itineraries, and being eco-friendly while traveling.
