New Ambition



With my life open like a book, I keep thinking "Why not?" Why don't I go do something crazy because I have the time? I am not sure what is keeping me back. Maybe it is I am afraid to do it alone, that I am afraid I will absolutely hate it when I do it, or maybe it is just the fear that I will love it and never want to look back.

The one adventure I keep getting drawn to is WWOOF. This is a volunteer organization (World Wide Opportunity on Organic Farms) that is kind of like a work share program. Basically you find a farm/family/location that you would like to visit/work on/experience, buy a plane ticket and work on whatever your host has for you for 4 - 5 days and then have the rest of the week to explore. Your host provides you with lodging and food.

So where would I go? Obviously Ireland. It would check two things off my list of things I have always wanted to do 1) go to Ireland and 2) work on a farm. I think it really would be a great opportunity to meet new people, learn more than staying at hotel on vacation, and be something utterly awesome. So why haven't I don't this already?


Here is the website if you would like to check it out: http://www.wwoof.org/
