Apprentice Aldo In Mexico - Tips
Apprentice Aldo in Mexico
Hello Aldo on being an apprentice to me or somehow me helping you. Please
read the answer at bottom.
QUESTION:
Name: Aldo Jimenez
Country: USA
Message:
Andy,
I am not sure that I don-t bother you; I have
sent you two emails already. This question is a gamble to me, then.
Listen then: I have told you I am moving to Mexico. Traveling and
studying will more than likely occupy most of my time. Although I am a very
optimistic person, my self trusting that almost any inconvenience can be
overcome by sacrifice, I still believe I cannot rationally throw my self into
the traveling world without more guidance on survival. I want to begin a
temporary correspondence by e-mail with you. I will be your apprentice and you
will show me the good ways of simple traveling.
I want all the information I
need: Leaving, Walking, Working, Health, Eating, etc. If thus far this
sounds agreeable to you, reply to me. My apprenticeship to you should last for
three months - that is when I am moving. You will make me overjoyed, truly. And
I will never forget you.
For your assistance, here is a brief view of my life:
I live in a
low class area of Los Angeles city, USA. I am eighteen years old. I was born and
have lived in Los Angeles my whole life.
I was raised by my father who was a
good practitioner of what he called "substance, not style" and taught me well
in simplicity and abandonment of the slightest luxury infatuation. Along with
many hand trades, he was an excellent carpenter, and he endlessly explained the
good manifestations of a learned hand trade. He was also an avid outdoorsman and
camper. And believing always in only the substance of a thing, he was primitive
and dirty, and never cared for his looks, sewed his own socks and was not the
most handsome, presentable man; but he had substance. I believe he instilled
many values in me, preparing me for a traveling life.
Although I
learned many truly useful things from my father, which sowed the seeds of who I
became, I never developed an attachment to my family. I have spent time living
in voluntary homelessness. I have a simple diet, I do not eat meat and drink
only water. Much of my food is raw. I have simple dress. All together I own
three shirts, one pants, 3 underwear, mexican leather sandals, a belt and a
sweater. Other than my clothes, 6 books, personal writings, and a toothbrush I
have no personal possessions. I sleep on a sheet, which is on a layer of tarp,
which is on the concrete patio. Except for food, occasional bus fare, and to the
homeless, I spend almost no money. I walk nearly everywhere I go. Etc, Etc. More
later. For now. please tell me If I have convinced you to accept
me.
Aldo
ANSWER:
Hello Aldo,
I am more than will guide you and all tourist, traveler rich or poor on the
path, I am not sure the word apprentice is totally applicable, but I wil help
you, and more or less I help everyone.
When I reply to you, and there is warning all over the page, that all
correspondence is public, this mean THIS email will be posted on the internet
and the whole world can be the apprentice or share the advice and I hope it
helps. It becomes part of the website and I earn money from the advertisers on
the site.
So, yes, however understand all is published on the internet.
This
commment I hope will soon be here shortly after you receive it.
