This was very informative. I'm thinking of signing up for a two week course at Kibbutz Lotan this summer. Would you recommend it for somebody who would like to learn about permaculture?
Informatiove and detailed Hey..it was treat to read this article and I wished there was more to it :) I scrolled loterraly to and fro to check if there si more to read :) good work
Thanks for your comment Thank you! We are flattered and happy if this blog was helpful in your travel.
There are some treks around Huancavelica if you are interested in trekking.
For me, I wish I stayed for a day in Castro only to explore this remote village and scenery around, but there was no hostel there, as I can remember.
If you have any specific question feel free to ask, who know... maybe we recollect something.
Good days,
Ram
Amazing experenice! HEY! It looks amazing!
I'm going to Israel next month, would like to work in the community too
Could you give me the email address or contact to the Eco Kibbutz Tzivon. Galilee. Israel?

Tzivon Hi
Sadly the venture in Tzivon no longer exists because of lack of cooperation from the residents of the Kibbutz.
However I think meeting the people at "Goats with the Wind" can be a very nice welcome and a good start.
Good luck and enjoy,
Ram
Wow Impressed by your endurance to penetrate the jungle and all the efforts and joys it brings you. Gabri and I had a quite comfortable trip in my camping van all through Europe April to June, Gabri had then to go home, her mother got worse and has now passed away, it is not easy, but I think the worst is over...
How long are you staying in Peru/South America?
I myself will probably spend the winter in Australia...
Regards to Liss and sending you both a big smile

Volunteer 1978 I was a volunteer on this kibbutz in the spring of 1978. I worked mainly in the fruit packing shed and in the orchard. The accommodation was basic but what a beautiful place and wonderful people. The experience was just what I needed at that time in my life. Happy memories which will stay with me always.
Hi,
There isn't really a single designer - as far as I know - it is a work of number of people renovating and changing use of existing chicken houses. However, the leading persons are Daphna Yalon, an earth artist and Danny who lives there and he is the master builder.
Have a look at their website:

Maybe try to get to Adi Brief who is I think the administrator there via facebook.
Cheers,
Ram
hi This is beautiful,it is a good idea that i will work on in the future for an art center ,do you have the contacts of the designer ,i will appreciate if i can inquire from them how they did it .
Greetings from Chiloe Hi Liz, Hi Ram!
I really enjoyed reading about your adventures here on the Island. Your walking sticks are here and ready to go when you pick them up the next time you come. Hope all the wooden pieces got safe to the UK. Your photos are great and they did bring a lot of memories, I had a great time myself! Hope to see you soon and if you need anything, just let me know.
All the best,
Cyril.
Navimag response Hi Mario,
Thanks for your comment.
We were really lucky with the weather whilst we were on the navimag trip and mostly had good weather, that said early morning it could be quite chilly and as the evening drew in it was also cold, but good hat, neck warmer, warm fleece and windproof was enough to keep warm.
I enjoyed your post. Your Chilean adventure looks awesome. I miss it there. My blog is looking for travel photos, stories, accommodation reviews, and food reviews. If you have the time and have some to share, email us at dirtyhippiesblog@gmail.com or check us out at dirty-hippies.blogspot.com
Continued fun on your travels,
Eric
Nice journal Liz Hi Liz! This is Leo from the farm. I hope that you and Ram are well. Can you include a link to the farm's website on this page of your blog? Just search for 'goats with the wind' on Google and you'll find it.
Thanks for putting me up in Haifa,

just lovely thank you thoroughly enjoyed this. wonder if vonnie wants to pass by chiloe - with me - on her next return from aus... your mushroom shot. did you know it is called Fly Agaric. it is highly toxic in that it can send you tripping, you think you can fly. It grows in Lapland and that is why Santa Claus the flying red coated man with snow (white bits) on his cloak and beard is dressed the way he is. He and his reindeer - the bog standard equiv of cattle in Lapland 'fly' though the night sky in the perception of the lapland reindeer herders who have been nibbling on Fly Agaric. The reindeer also eat this fungus. interesting n'est-pa.

Volunteer 1985 Me and my wife were volunteers at netiv halamed he in 1985.What a wonerful time we had!!! Looking at the photos of the chicken sheds brings back happy memories. Collecting thousands of eggs per day,chatting to some wonderfull jewish friends(Dovale,Mimi,Effie and many more).We were supposed to stay for 2 months,but ended up staying 6 months!! One of the most memorable times of my life..............Eddie Leeuwner.
Respect! Reading about your bicycle event I really got a good feeling. It's really good! You proof that the image of the Middle East presented by the media as a place where everyday life is only about the conflict is so blatantly wrong. I hope to hear more like this when I travel to Israel with Charity Travel. I am looking for charities to support. Should you know any deservable initiatives, please reach me at charitytravel.blogspot.com
At some point a small crick broke in my routine, I felt a thin breeze of opportunity and for the first time I made something out of it. I cut off my stay as an expat in England, gave up my working visa, and asked Liz to join me. My grand plan to round the world using only overland transportation (basically meaning not to fly) didn’t find audience so I settled for South America. Yet, as I like, I looked for interesting ways to journey rather than just reaching a destination. Then, after 10 months of backpacking I simply satisfied my capacity and desire to travel. I acknowledge I was fortunate... full info
