We’ve had a range of mist, drizzle, outright downpours and lots of sun since arriving, but today started with a hefty hefty storm. The deluge began at 7:30a while we were eating breakfast and basically did not stop until 11-12. A couple giant cracks from...

How did this all come together? We created our WWOOF and helpx profiles, chose what destinations we most wanted, a rough starting point (We chose Dec 1) and duration (3+ months). Spent a good deal of time researching hosts, specific neighborhoods, work types, property types....
