"It's all about escaping"




Well I've finally figured out a way to break free of this town for awhile. It's called wwoofing. Working on organic farms. The deal is essentially you sign up to this organization and gain access to hosts across the country. They provide you with room and board (if you're lucky also with experiences, fun and stuff) and you work for them a bit. There's a large variety to be had...from working hostels, to straight up farms, to self sufficient farming co-ops, to whale watching outfits. It's a cheap and different way to travel. So I've been contacting a few hosts, and so far the responses have been warm and receptive. Pretty stoked for this adventure. In between I'm going to visit some national parks and camp and stuff. I have about three months to blow on this adventure. Oh, by the way it's the East Coast again. Maybe when I come back, I'll head straight out West if I still have any money left.

So be jealous, because this is likely going to be the experience of a lifetime. Be very jealous.
