Monday is typically not a highlight of the week but two emails I received from Italy brought cheers this morning. I had written to two farms on the WWOOF volunteer programme (see link in side bar) which offers free accomodation and chow for some hard work thrown in. Ideal too for those looking for a unique cultural exchange (not that sort!).
The first email was from a charming farm Casa Lanzarotti near Parma; it reads "Dear carlyn, you are most welcome on our farm... WWOOFers work in the morning and get their afternoons free." Perfect for exploring the area!
The second was from this gorgeous farm Barbialla Nuova in the heart of Tuscany (cool aesthetics - see link). Marco has emailed back "Ciao Carlyn, nice to hear from you. I'll be very happy to have you here. You would share a house with me and Lorenzo and other guys/ girls that sometimes are here but you will have your private bed room. We just have 1 bathroom in the house but we do not spend that time In the bathroom so normally everything works fine."
I'm simply ecstatic!
