Vancouver is, so far, one of my favorite cities. It was nice to visit again in August, and this time for a few days rather than just a weekend (as I did in 2011 during my first WWOOF experience in Washington). To get to Vancouver from Downtown Victoria, I took a bus to get to… More Point and shoot: Vancouver, BC
The air in Victoria was different from that in Cobble Hill. Figuratively speaking. And it’s mainly because I had become accustomed to having the same people around for two weeks at Damali. From this part of the trip up until Banff, I had to take more precaution with my belongings that I did at the… More Point and shoot: Victoria, BC
I didn’t take too many photos during my last week at Damali, but here are a few: In no particular order, here are bullet points of my final week: Field duty highlights: Weeded the surroundings of fruit trees enclosed in fences in the sheep pen Transfer small lavender plants into bigger, standard-sized pots so they… More Final days on the Damali field
By doing the following, Chiara, Matteo, Andrea and I were able to spend two nights and two days in Tofino in just about $200 each: Rent the smallest, cheapest car possible ($19.99/day at Duncan Enterprise, plus about 21 percent added, which put it a total of $24.19/day; got a vehicle similar to a Chevy Spark)… More A $200-weekend in Tofino

Volunteers have weekends off at Damali, but I asked Alison if she wanted to put me to work since I was already there. She told me to just take the weekend off like everyone else: I could work on the fields on Monday. So I joined Matteo, Chiara, Andrea, and Karolyne on an outing on… More Weekend in the waters
At Damali, volunteers stay in the WWOOFer loft. It is situated on top of the lavender shop (I included a photo of the shop in the previous entry) and has four bed spaces, a kitchen, a dining area, and a living room area with couches, a television and an X-box console. Each “room” had a… More Welcome to Damali

Alberta Calgary Banff Manitoba Winnipeg Ontario Toronto Ottawa Quebec Montreal Quebec City In visiting, my goal was to experience as much… More Eight weeks in Canada
