I've left Ireland and flew into Belgium this morning. My first WWOOFing experience was better than I could have imagined. I was sad to leave but happy to have had the chance to live at Sli Na Bande with such great people. The owners of the house are incredibly generous and willing to share their land and house with everyone. WWOOFing provides a unique work experience also. There are no hassles that come with a regular job. No worries about how long you are working, how much you are getting paid, when you get to take a break, etc. I've found that through WWOOFing nothing feels like work, but the dedication and commitment to projects is probably greater than at a paying job. I'll always remember the generosity and openness that Sli Na Bande offered and for now I'm off to find my own "Way of Goodness." After spending a night on the west coast of Ireland in Galway I'm happy to meet up with a friend here in Belgium. Fries, chocolate, and beer here we come! I'll save the workout for next week :)
