Campanario

2 long travel days after leaving Paradise Farms and I arrived at Campanario. I was immediately greeted by the 2 volunteers (M&O) that I’d be spending the rest of my time there with. To give a little bit of insight into Campanario, this was not my first time here. I came ~2 years earlier on

From The Long Trail to The Everglades

On July 5th, 2020, after many plan changes and uncertainty towards what would happen after my departure from Camphill, D (again, initials for some identity disclosure…) came and picked me up in his camper truck named Bernie to embark on the epic adventure of hiking The Long Trail. Off to Vermont we went, love literally

Paradise Farms

Homestead, Florida is located in such an ideal location: 20 minutes from the Everglades, 20 minutes from Biscayne National Park, 30 minutes from the Florida Keys, and 45 minutes from Miami. Granted, Homestead does have the highest crime rates in the entire country – we were in an oasis. A tropical paradise with a starfruit

The Bulk Of Camphill

Living at Franklin House and being an agricultural intern was a whirlwind of emotions and experiences.I have never worked so hard in my life or had so much physically demanded from me.Everyday was a learning experience for farm-life and simultaneously a social experiment.

Quarantine to Farming

The following 2.5 weeks were filled with emotions, 1st world country luxuries, and research. I truly wasn’t ready to be home, nor did I have desire to be. I began planning my departure nearly immediately after my arrival. And so it was came to that I would go WWOOF (World Wide Organization of Organic Farming)

What can happen in 6 months?

A lot. Quite a lot can happen in 6 months. In as little as half a year’s time, everything about my life drastically changed. These are some of the major events that took place for me from September, 2019-March, 2020: I moved from Georgia to Senegal, West Africa 🇺🇲>🇸🇳 I learned to speak Mandinka I

Back to Amerik

The day didn’t get any easier after leaving Mankono Ba as the sept-place driver pulled up to Sitaba, my closest Peace Corps Volunteer’s village. I watched a tear-filled goodbye between her and her dimbayalou (family) and then her dog, Siasia. I felt like an intruder, witnessing an intimate and deep moment of their lives that
