Just want to travel?
I'm 30 and have been working hard at a full time job for the past decade and finally finished my degree at the end of 2006. I'm ready to leave the work force and travel for a little while. I've always wanted to stay in France, Spain, and Guatemala. Any ideas on being able to afford this luxury(that doesn't include being a flight attendant)?

Flights and hotels are much cheaper in the off-season. For France and Spain, the summer is the most expensive and the winter the least. Guatemala is a very cheap country to travel in whenever you go - the only issue is the flight - I believe Dec-Apr is high season there and the rest of the year low season. You wouldn't want to go to France or Spain in January, but March and November can have very good bargains. Flights are usually the cheapest if you leave and return on a Tuesday or Wednesday, and if you book at least 3 weeks in advance but not more than 3 months in advance.
You may want to stay in hostels instead of hotels in France and Spain - they are usually a lot cheaper for a solo traveler than even the cheapest hotel.
Look into a French railpass if you want to visit a lot of places in France. The trains are expensive there. Spanish trains are cheap, and the buses are even cheaper.
You should expect to spend a minimum of $75 per day in France, not including your flight there and back, and that's an absolute minimum - staying in youth hostels, and eating mostly cheap food rather than real restaurants. If you plan on staying in basic 2-3 star hotels instead of hostels, eating your meals in inexpensive restaurants, and going to bars and clubs a lot, expect more like $125 per day. Spain is a bit cheaper, but $50 per day would be the minimum there, and $100 for those options. Guatemala can easily be done for $25 per day.

Why could men and women wish to fulfill their contacts? Not a well inspiration! How have you learnt that your satisfactory, pleasant sounding touch isn't an awl assassin looking forward to his subsequent sufferer? If you're going to fulfill a touch, be certain it is in a public position with tons of men and women round.
