Security or freedom?
Which would you rather have?
After Gareth Leonard and his business partners decided to sell the textbook company they had started in college it was time for a change. Then 25, Gareth decided it was time to stop chasing a paycheck and to start chasing something else.
Freedom.
A spur of the moment decision landed him in Argentina with a single goal, get a local job. From there he went on to execute the rest of his five year plan, each year living in a different country with a new goal.
- Get a local job in Argentina
- Learn to Salsa in Colombia
- Volunteer in Bolivia
- Work with Micro-financing in Guatamala
and last but not least
5. Find a job at the World Cup in Rio de Janiero
