Next thing I know I m settled in Zimbabwe without spending a dime of my own money.

I heartily encourage you to do the same.----Paul Tymann, Professor and Chair, Department of Computer Science, Rochester Institute of Technology Michael Schneider does what many of us want to do, but few ever manage to live all over the world without giving up his house, job, or nest egg.
