Well, as soon as you know anything more or attend a seminar - let me know! = )
I'd like more info about the techniques even tho.. How fast can you expect to gain a new skill? And to what level will you learn it? He's a great singer and photographer you say. Impressive stuff but does it work with stuff like programming? Why wouldn't it some may say. I'm just after the specifics. No point in doing long trips when you know nothing of the destination. At least not with this kind of money involved (1700$ sum total would be a realistic budget for this kind of trip).
He didn't say he was going to Sweden anytime soon? 
Cya! Thanks for the response.
