I just gave my blog a facelift. To find my
previous entries during my sailing trip and backpacking in Brazil (summer
2010), please go to http://sailtohalifax.blogspot.com.
I’ll be putting the link up in the ‘links’ section of this new blog.
I concluded my last blog by stating that I
would no longer be sailing to Brazil. However, I still feel a pull towards
Brazil. So, once I got home from my sail trip I started working in order to make enough money to pay for a plane ticket to Brazil. Departure:
October 12th 2011. Return: …undefined!
Going to Brazil is more than a simply quest
to look for a job. I have told some people that I’m simply going to teach
English while I’m down there. While I will indeed be looking for work, I am
also going with another agenda in mind.
I will be visiting several non-profit
organizations. Organizations primarily focussed on permaculture, for
instance, Instituto Visao Futuro and IPEC
Ecocentro. I hope to observe and take courses to learn more about
sustainable ways of living and natural systems.
Where I will go from there I’m not sure.
Maybe try to get a non-profit organization started, or work for one which is
already established in Brazil. Whatever I end up doing, I’ll be posting in this
blog in order to keep people at home updated.
