A year ago today, I lived in this carriage house in Ireland on a thoroughbred horse and cattle farm (my first of three farmstays during my Round Ireland with a Duck journey — book available globally). I had it entirely to myself. For free, food included, in exchange for my volunteer labor about 30 hours a week. My days looked like this:
Writer, street photographer, urban farmer and global WWOOFer. League Cycling Instructor (#5382) and first Metro Atlanta Bicycle Mayor as part of global consortium with Amsterdam-based social enterprise BYCS. Peace Corps Uganda invitee (June 2020, derailed due to COVID-19). Former CDC Foundation Communications Specialist with State of Alaska Dept. of Health on Healthy You in 2022 project. Mensa member. See books on Amazon in all global markets (USA link: https://www.amazon.com/Pattie-Baker/e/B005JBN7ZK) and on indie book sites.
