Low Cost Travel to Nicaragua, Central America and the rest of Latin America
Lured by the attractiveness of its culture, its people, its delectable food, and the low cost travel to Nicaragua, Americans have been traveling to this country in Central America since times immemorial. Back in the mid 1800s, Tennessean filibuster, adventurer and mercenary William Walker landed in the coasts of Nicaragua looking for soft adventure travels and in a daring act of bravado declared himself its President shortly afterwards. Even after Walker was ousted from his short-lived seat of power, American influence in Nicaragua remained strong, which is precisely what motivated the rise of Nicaraguan most distinguished nationalist, Augusto Cesar Sandino.

Social Technologies' Andy Hines Featured in "Escape from Corporate America"
Washington, DC (PRWEB) July 9, 2008 -- Social Technologies futurist Andy Hines is featured in Escape from Corporate America, a new book by a reformed corporate ladder-climber, Pam Skillings.
"If your corporate career is leaving you stressed out, burned out, or just plain bummed out, you're not alone," writes Skillings. Escape from Corporate America, published by Ballentine, hit bookstores in May. "You don't have to choose between paying the bills and enjoying a fulfilling career." With humor and personal accounts, she offers a seven-step approach to breaking free: assess your job's "suck" factor, identify your true calling, develop your escape plan, find jobs that don't bite, be your own boss, follow your creative dreams, and overcome any obstacle.
Skillings, a career coach who made the leap in 2005, estimates that 80% of the working population fantasizes about leaving their jobs for something better. She admits that making the leap isn't easy, but it is worthwhile. "It took me years of trial and error to escape corporate America," she explains in the introduction. "Once I left, I was amazed at how many people were dying to know how I did it and whether they could do it, too."
Skillings found a compatriot in Hines, who ran the Global Trends Program for Kellogg Co., then served as futurist and senior ideation leader at Dow Chemical before joining Social Technologies in 2006 as director of custom projects. In Skillings' book, he is quoted in chapter seven: "Swim in a smaller pond."
"No offense against corporate places, but they are not always the most interesting," says Hines. "A lot of the attraction of my current company was the ability to work for people who are really interesting. Who else would work as a professional futurist? You have to be a little nuts, and I like that."
