My dad emailed me this link. Its a site for doing exchanges abroard. Its got contacts etc for organic farms etc who let people stay with them and eat in exchange for working for them for short term basis. I thought some of you might find it helpfull http://www.helpexchange.net/
There's a similar kinda organisation that operates in the UK and abroad called WOOF, but when I looked for a website to put up here, I could only find dog sites! It is there though, I promise.
ARGH i would so so like to do that! but i cant because im stuck in a career and part time uni course for the next 4 and a bit years!!! Its so hard when I read something like that, damn you Fleassy! lol im only kidding with you! but its just frustrating it feels like im tied down but i want to be free patience is a virtue i guess :s but 4 years is taking the piss a little.... gonna give it my best shot though...
