Itinerary as of today

Depart from O'Hare Sunday, Sept 7 and arrive in London Monday morning. I'll be staying with my friend Yaschica, an American who has been living in London this past year.

Friday, Sept 12 fly to Copenhagen Denmark. On Friday and Saturday I will be staying with a woman named Gunna who I met (via email) through the hospitality exchange organization Servas International (http://joomla.servas.org/).

Sunday, Sept 14 take train and ferry to Fejo Denmark, an island, 2 hours south of Copenhagen, where I will "WWOOF" at Anne and Mick's farm through the WWOOF program (http://wwoof.org/europe.asp). In return for working on their farm I will receive free room and board, and meals. Duration is 1-2 weeks. I may work on another farm in Denmark and then spend more time in Copenhagen.

After Denmark, I will spend about 1 week in each country including The Netherlands, Belgium, France, and most likely Italy. Living arrangements will be with hostels (http://www.hihostels.com/) and hosts with Servas International(http://joomla.servas.org/), Women Welcome Women Worldwide(http://www.womenwelcomewomen.org.uk/), and Couch Surfing (http://www.couchsurfing.com/).

October 26 - November 16 I will WWOOF again, but in Tarifa Spain at Alicia and Johnny's farm. The project not only includes farm chores, but work at their ecoretreat which offers accomodations, yoga and meditation.


I may splurge here and there with hotels or bed & breakfasts, but it will be rare.

I return to the US Monday, December 1.

Hey Brooke,
I'm glad you got there safely!! If you get a chance while in England to go to Stratford-Upon-Avon check out a little bakery off the beaten path. It's the best!! I think I had the best pastry I've ever had in my whole life there. Also there is a sandwich shop that is in this old 2 story house that serves sandwiches on these long baguettes, these also are a must try. I doubt you'll get a chance to go there but just in case. Hey don't for get Piccadilly Circus…really cool shops! Keep us posted….AND HAVE A BLAST!!!!!!!!!

Love ya girl, Katie
