Found my 1st WWOOF place!

I found a WWOOF host 2 hrs south of Sydney! I will be helping a couple with gardening and making medieval things such as armour, woodwork, sewing banners, etc!!! How cool is that? I will be taking the train down there next Tuesday. I can't wait!

Who am I rooming with now? There are 2 french women, 3 Koreans, 1 Chinese, and 1 white girl (who doesn't talk but stares). There are a lot of Koreans here because most of them were studying english on the Gold Coast and now they are just traveling. I always go to the hostel kitchen and tv room for breakfast and supper where I meet a lot of people. Last night, I met another German girl (there are many Germans too) who is also looking for fruit picking work. She said that there is not much out there - she called 30 places and nothing. She wants to WWOOF too and I told her that's a better bet right now. It's high season right now and very competitive because many students are off for summer vacation. So I will look for work next year and I will most likely go to the west coast since no one ever thinks to go there (thus, less competition!). And I will be able to meet up with my cousin while I'm there.

You are a German magnet. When I went to Israel and volunteered on a kibbutz I was surprised by how many Germans were there.
I can’t wait till you start wwoofing! I want to hear all about making medieval crafts and such. Aw I love you Nellie!
