Along the way we've WWOOFed, Help Exchanged, and WorkAway'd in exchange for educational opportunities (and basic food and lodging). We've learned so much and made great friends from these experiences! We've also done some housesitting in exchange for free lodging.

Thanks Laura! Enjoy Portugal, Spain and Morocco - we sure did!
DeleteGreat pictures, esp of the sea turtles and donkeys. We're hoping to get to Mexico someday, funny that it's so close and neither of us has been. I will definitely check out your blog if we do get there.
(Your comment reminds me that I really need to update this page. It's nearly 2 years old, yikes!)
Time is definitely speeding up, in my opinion, even if you are "Slowly Global"! You might want to check out my blog which I have named MEXICO AND BEYOND:LAURA'S PHOTO JOURNEY which you can find at lauraaloveland.blogspot.com I will be adding your blog to my favorite links and maybe you would consider doing likewise.
