OK, in my first description of this goal, i was pretty brief so right now i am going to go into more detail about the money. The tuition fee is 6,990 American dollars, however this is not including airfare to and from Ecuador, so i have asked around and done some research on the airfare and came to the conclusion that i should assume that the combined total for the entire trip will be around 10,000 USD....That's a lot of money (for me) For the past few days i have been brainstorming with the help of a few friends and came up with some options to help me along my way. ...i will list them below( you will find that i like making lists when i am trying to figure things out)
1. I will install 'AdSense" into this blog ...if i am lucky i will get around 1,200 from that per year if enough people click on the ads i put up (i shall put these up as soon as possible).
2.Tutor people in languages- me and fishfulthinking are toying around with tutoring people in languages because she can teach Chinese and Spanish, and i can teach French and Hebrew (which includes Bar/Bat Mitzvah tutoring) being that we have not started this yet, I cannot predict whether or not i can make any money from this.
3. Art- i love making arts such as origami, beading, and painting (but mostly the former) so i am building up an inventory to sell at a flea market or art fair. Again, i cannot factor in any profit because this is just an idea.
4. Instead of any holiday or birthday gifts, i am going to ask my family to help fund my international voyage.
5.I am going to be a super-saver~ I am actually already pretty good at this. I tend to be a money stasher, but i am going to cut the number of movies I see in the next few years because i spend around two hundred dollars on movie tickets per year, and if I plan to do this, I'm going to need that money.
6. I am going to have to think up new ideas- this would be much easier if I had a job, also, if you have any good ideas, i would love to hear them
