I think I have finally decided on what I want to do with my summer. I really want to focus on my Spanish, so I wanted to get back out of the country. However, travelling is very expensive. I don’t have that kind of money. One of my best friends last semester was Gillian, whom I might have written about before. She spent the semester with us in Chile, and now she is in Argentina working on a farm. She talks about it all time. She absolutely loves the lifestyle, and she is having one of the most incredible experiences of her entire life. I finally decided that this is something I need to explore. She is working through WWOOF, which are worldwide opportunities for organic farming. You can go check them out online. They have organic farms all over the world, and you choose a country that you want to go to. By paying a minimal fee, you get a list of all the farms within that country. Then you can decide what kind of farm would be the best fit for you. Housing and food is provided, though quite differently within each farm. Some places have community life, while others are secluded. If you are vegan or vegetarian, you can find a family would provide those meals for you. It’s an incredible organization, and I am very excited to get involved!!
