Siri goes on a journey to the UK through organic farming!
My Travel Story
This is the beginning of my journey...
I have had a love affair with the UK ever since my first visit back in high school. I knew that if I needed to go on a journey this is where it would start. I will be leaving on October 2nd to go to the UK and volunteer on Organic Farms. My first location is an estate outside of Leeds called Markington Hall. There I will help them on their farm and with historical restoration work for the estate. My next locations are still in the works and will be updated as plans are solidified.
While I did study abroad in England during my time in College, our program only included American students. I look forward to the opportunity to learn in a hands on environment about the culture and traditions of England and the surrounding countries. I think there is something about working the land and meeting people in new places that allow us to assess our values and authentic selves. This is what I'm looking to do on this trip. You could say it is a journey for my soul, a search for my personal legend.
I will be forever grateful for whatever you wish to give. My goal is to be able to travel for 2 months.
