I spent two days in Victoria visiting Hye-Yeon who is working in a hostel there as a house
keeper. When she got off work she took me on a walk to show me the "best bathrooms" in Victoria which were located in a 5-star hotel's lobby. She hated the outhouse at the lavender farm and told me that when she wants peace she'll walk to this hotel to go to the bathroom. Life is about appreciating the small things, right?!

Victoria never ceases to amaze me. I had awesome hostel-mates, Kevin from Ireland and Felix from Germany. They met at a hostel three months ago and have been traveling together since and apparently aren't going to stop until they spend every last cent. They entertained me the entire night with crazy traveling stories and jokes - it was a much needed break from farm life.
On a sadder note, my vegan farm cancelled on me. But, it's karma because I cancelled on a farm to go to this farm. I sort of deserve it and I'm used to plans not working out so this kind of stuff doesn't stress me out anymore. Also, I am way too excited about an oyster farm I am going to in August that is located on one of the gulf islands where I get to live in a tree house (!!) for 8 days. A tree house! How absolutely amazing is this?!?!
But, currently, I am undergoing a massive farm search so that I won't be homeless come next Monday. Options: an assistant to a spiritual yoga/Buddhist leader, beekeeping, llama cleaning or cow branding. I could work on a vineyard, a garlic farm or one that has a huge veggie gardens. I could live in a tee pee, a camper a school bus or a loft. Ah, decisions...This lifestyle is cool.
