Whatcha Do With Your Time? How About Teaching?

While Glen and Rose Woods aren't fulltimers yet, they have a giving spirit that so typifies many who do live the fulltime lifestyle. Ardent snowbirds, this couple from Canada calls Mexico home when the ice and snow turns their northland stomping ground too chilly for their liking.

But they don't just spend their winters hanging out in margarita bars--they spend their spare moments teaching English as a second language to both students--and teachers--of the language. They aren't alone: Volunteers make up the staff of this little school in Lo de Marcos, just north of Puerto Vallarta. And the curriculum in this unusual classroom isn't all about English: Others teach computer skills, arts and crafts, and other subjects that the south-of-the-border young people clammor for.

Learn more about the Woods' experience, and reflect: You probably know something that you can pass along to others. The fulltime lifestyle makes it a natural.
