Considering move to Antigua-help!!

13 years ago
I literally just got back last night from my first trip to Guatemala with a medical missions group. I am in love! It has been a dream of mine to travel, and after spending some time in Antigua, that is where I want to be.

I want to start figuring out how to move there, but I don't even know where to begin. I am hoping to be able to work my regular job from down there so I can still have income and be able to volunteer my time as much as I can. I am a medical transcriptionist and basically all I need to do my current job is a good Internet connection.

The organization I was down there with runs operating rooms February through June. So I'm thinking I might start by living down there for those months next year (2012) and see how it goes before I think about selling my house in Oregon. How can I get connected with a family to live with? Or a place to rent or stay? I'm obviously going to have the requirement of needing good Internet, but that is pretty much the only thing. I don't even care about having a bedroom-a floor or couch is fine!!

I don't have much money to work with, but I really want to make this happen. Any tips or ideas would be appreciated!! Thank you!!
