World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms

[Reesha]

See, when I think of agritourism, I think strictly of paying guests staying on farms for the pastoral setting. I see that some can actually contribute to farm activity, but I'd rather not skim the surface of it. I'd rather get deeper into it I think.

What I'm doing is one kind of tourism I suppose, but it feels more like a cultural exchange and volunteer work.

This is another great article about Wwoofing/agritourism.

That's what it sounds like. Do let us know of your experiences next year!

I am looking forward to sharing-- hopefully I'll get a new camera and take loads of pictures of everything. I'll just keep it on me while I'm working 8')

Ooooo I just had a thought. I'm leaning heavily toward spending the summer in Belgium as I need to brush up on my Nederlands and many of my friends/host family members want to see me on the weekends and spend time with me.

So, I'm thinking about getting myself a folding bike that can travel with me to Europe that I can use to get back and forth to the train station from the farms.

Does anyone have any experience bringing a folding bike with them on a plane? I will obviously inquire in the folding bike threads, but methinks it's probably a bit easier than a full size bike.
