Hello all!
I´ve been at my first WWOOF home for 2 days now. (WWOOF is an organization of organic farms, where members like me can go and work part of each day in exchange for room and board). My hosts are Briar and Geoffry, their son Josh, and their nephen Ashla. I´ve spent most of my time with the two other WWOOFers here- Ignacio is from Chile and has been cycling throughout New Zealand, and Femka from Holland is the biggest Bruce Springsteen fan I´ve ever met. The atmosphere here is very friendly and laid-back and we´ve done mostly indoor housework so far, taking the old family dog for a long walk each night to explore the neighborhood. Yesterday he wandered right into the kitchen of a house down the road!
This area just outside of Nelson is beautiful and hot. The beaches are just a bike ride away, and the rolling hills around us are green and filled with small pastures. There are horses, alpaca and sheep next door, and the Aussie up the hill actually has an emu in his front yard!
It looks like a couple of friends from Willamette, Bekah and Timm, will be arriving in Nelson this weekend, so hopefully I will get the chance to meet up with them while we´re all here. Isn´t it funny that I´ve gone halfway around the world yet still find so many familiar faces?
