hello

My name is Annie Reed. I live in northern Vermont, USA and teach ecology at the Community College of Vermont. I also do gardening and landscape design for local clients. I have a large organic vegetable garden and chickens and grow enough food for myself and my neighbors. I am an eggs-and-dairy-eating-vegetarian and I enjoy cooking!

I would like to do Wwoofing in Latin America this winter because the winter in Vermont is very long and snowy and nothing grows.

I would like to be in a warm, sunny place where I can be outdoors in the darkest time of the year. I would like to do what I love: spend time gardening and helping with outdoor projects.

I love having dirty hands and knees!

While I work with you I would like to improve my Spanish . I studied it in school a long time ago. I can still read it but I need to practice speaking and listening.

I would like to work with you during my winter break from about December 20 to January 20. Please let me know whether you can use my help during that time.

Thank you, Ruben, for your offer. Would it be alright to come for a month starting around January 18th rather than Jan 5th? I will be coming from Costa Rica, if all goes well.

What is the easiest way to get to you?

Thank you, Annie

Es posible, el tiempo máximo para voluntarios en la granja es de 3 semanas, y es muy importante hablar español fluidamente ya que la gente de la comunidad no habla nada de inglés. Te comento que la mayor parte del tiempo estarás solamente con el encargado del rancho que es una persona muy confiable y amable y los fines de semana llegamos nosotros a trabajar en la granja. Espero tus comentarios de vuelta. mi correo es: manduj@hotmail.com Pasa bonito día y buen viaje!

I am an Annie who just left VT, too! To skip the harsh Winter and travel in Mexico. How long will you be there? Did you live in Burlington? Maybe we've met.
