Post-AmeriCorps

At some point in the past few months I decided that the money I was saving by waitressing, catering, and working for AmeriCorps would be used to send me to some other country to wwoof (work on an organic farm in exchange for food and housing).

Yesterday, with my stomach in my throat, I bought plane tickets. Here is my plan thus far:

Dec 5th: AmeriCorps ends
Dec 9th: SFO to LAX
Dec 10th: LAX to EZE, Buenos Aires
....
....
....
Jan 29th: Santiago, Chile, to LAX
Jan 30th: LAX to SFO

The .... indicate that no, I don't actually have any idea of what I'm doing in the 7 weeks between. I have a list of farms in Argentina and Chile, I know people who know researchers in Chile and salmon fishermen in Chile, so I have some places that I can stay, targets for some time periods.

Maybe I'll start in BsAs, go to a farm near Patagonia, cross to Chile through Patagonia, up to Chillan, up to Valaparaiso, out of Santiago.

My hope is that I can spend more time in fewer places rather than see as much as possible.

If anyone wants to join at any point, let me know. I can't wait to see Christine somewhere down there, and maybe Michelle too!

Secretly, I'm scared as fuck. This is not a very natalie-thing to do. Also I don't know any Spanish.
