Last semester feels like a blur as my travel plans for this semester come more and more into view. I thought the day would never come when I would arrive in Europe and see all the wonders I've dreamed of. Myself and my travel buddies (Becky, Casey, and Kirsten) have begun our journey, starting in Paris and now embark upon our adventures on farms in Italy, Greece and France.
I got into London on the 15th with Becky and we took the Chunnel straight to Paris. Kirsten and Casey met us at the flat we rented and our plans finally started to come together. Paris was incredible, and I am sad to leave. We were lucky to meet with an old friend of Becky's father who is Parisian and gave us a more intimate view of the city. By the end of the trip we were able to master the subway, see most of the tourist locations and eat probably have our body weight in cheese and baked goods! We left Paris to today and are now on the train to Italy. We are going to Torino, from there we will take a local bus to a small village in Cuneo called Canale. The first farm owner, Pino will meet us at the bus and our farming will begin in the morning! Our first farm is a vineyard.. And the rest is to come :)
