WWOOFing in Costa Rica in Jan 14 Hi There,
Your post is wonderful. Thanks for sharing your experience! I will be WWOOFing in Costa Rica in Jan and am going to Robert's farm in Feb. Do you have any advice for me before I go/ anymore feedback about what to expect on Robert's farm? Do you have any other recommendations for farms?
I hope to hear from you soon!
Thank you!!
Emma
Emma, really my biggest piece of advice would be to just soak it in. I'm in Nicaragua right now, and I have worked on different farms all through Mexico and Central America, and I haven't come across another farm that quite has what Robert's farm has. There is so much opportunity for learning, healthy living, and just plain fun. Of course, a lot of your experience will depend on the other volunteers who are working there with you, but places like Robert's farm tend to attract good, adventurous, like-minded people. So soak it in! Let me know if you have any specific questions and I'll do what I can to help.
Thank you! Thank you for such practical advice! Looking at the US travel warnings can be scary and they made it sound like there are practically NO safe public means of travel in Costa Rica. That's one of my biggest fears about possibly living there for a year.
I am entering my Junior year at Kansas State, and majoring in anthropology with a focus in pre-law. I hope to do some extensive traveling in South America next year, so this summer I will first be studying abroad and then working at an organic farm in Costa Rica. This will be a great way to get my feet wet and introduce me to the language and to Latino culture.
