Visiting the World, as a Geek?

Han Onymous asks: "In nine months my contract as a research assistent at my Alma Mater will come to an end. It will not be renewed, I don't want it to be anyway. But outside the economy is too ill to welcome me. I am young. I am healthy. And I want to see the world before I've got the wife and the kids and the double mortgage. I have no money saved, and I don't plan to save some until then. What can a skillful geek (electrical, electronical and software engineer, speaks three languages fluently) like me do to see the world. Volunteer ? Working for a multinational with exchange programs? Something with no connection at all to the tech world? Please share your experience."

    A Peoples History of The United States is an awsome book. Read it and youll love it. I loves reading it on my won and just a month ago it was assigned as a textbook in my high school. Its an awsome thing to read but remember it IS highly opinionated and although its a good book dont be a slave to ANY book you read. Free thought is probably the best thing you have and the easiest thing to waste.
