Cuando le decía a

Tony and I just spent about 2 weeks wwoofing on a coffee farm with a family in the remote village of Bhatkuwa, Nepal. I will be processing all of my thoughts and reactions for many days to come. It was like returning to Africa, where I am the only white ... Read more >

Well, my second workaway stint and it couldn’t be more wonderful. I’m staying at a health retreat and even though I’m working, I feel as though I’m also on a mini health retreat myself. I am definitely benefiting form the healthy eating and the ... Read more >

Lorne is easily everyone's favorite town on the Great Ocean
Road. A modest 900 live here year-round,
but the population swells to a roaring 30,000 (yes, 30,000 ) once the summer rolls along. With arguably the GOR’s best beach and hippest
restaurants, ... Read more >

Our 3rd organic farm was in Kings Valley, near Corvalis in Oregon. It was a beautiful 7 hour drive to Kings Valley- so green! It was cool though, a little more sunshine separating the rain would have been nice. We arrived on 21st May. Andrea and John ... Read more >
