I missed you, Vancity

As the ferry pulled into Tsawwassen, I felt my body noticeably relax. Vancouver. Finally.

Over the course of the last three months, I have:

- Plucked a chicken

- Milked a goat

- Pulled out trees by hand

- Dug vegetable beds 

- Foraged in the forest for medicinal herbs

- Sold blueberries from a tractor by the side of the road

- Washed thousands of garlic heads by hand

- Become a surrogate mother to 8 puppies

- Cut myself to ribbons picking raspberries and blackberries

- Weeded the hell out of gardens all over BC

Yep, our summer-long tour of volunteering on organic farms around BC is over. Back in the city, I feel ready to put down some roots and embrace all of those city-living perks I took for granted and only came to appreciate once wrestling with non-existent wifi in the middle of nowhere (midnight sushi anyone?) 

And, the pain of apartment-hunting aside, I can't wait to settle down here. I missed you, Vancity!

I'll be writing up all of our weird and wonderful wwoofing experiences over the coming weeks, so stay tuned!
