Exactly two weeks from today I will be on a plane from Chicago to Dublin. I will then spend three months working as a WWOOFer (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms). http://www.wwoof.ie/ The first place I will be working is located on the Sheep's Head Peninsula in county Cork. I will be living with and working for Carbery Cottage Guest Lodge. http://www.carbery-cottage-guest-lodge.net/ Check out both these websites for more information. I will be gone for a total of three months, returning on April 28.
When people ask me why I'm going on this trip my first response is, why not? For as long as I can remember I have wanted to travel to Ireland. Now I can finally do it. I have the funds, the time, and the opportunity. The next two weeks will be spent planning out everything, from an exact packing list, to a rough schedule of what i will be doing. There are so many places to see I want to make sure I don't miss anything. I also have to spend lots of quality time with all of the wonderful people I will be missing for those three months. So, here's to a couple of fun filled weeks, then the beginning of a new journey.
