cute hippy chick wanting to exchange work for opportunity:

Helllloooo hippies, my name is MJ. I just turned 23 this weekend, and I am an ATLien, working through my psychology degree, though I really just want it as a base knowledge for later practices. In my free time I enjoy painting, learning, and being outdoors.

I am looking to get in an entirely different part of us to help break me out of my shy tendencies and learn as much as I can from as many different walks of life that I can.

I am very interested in living in a space where I can grow (or contribute my energy to a communal garden) food and medicine, so I am looking at the states which currently make that a reasonable goal, in legal terms. I also have goals of learning how to make homemade clothes from homemade fibers and another self-sustainable properties. I am a very hard worker, especially once I get the hang of things and know what I am doing.

Basically: I need a place to live for as long as is appropriate in an area that has medicinal dispensaries, where I can work to earn my keep.

Know any ideas or ways to get started on this? I have been doing a lot of research online but haven't found anything so far.

 

being cute isn't a job qualification

 

It's a requirement for some jobs

 

sometimes, people appreciate knowing they are inviting in a bright and bubbly personality to light up their day. geeeezz

 

cute is actually a great marketing idea

 

only interested in hippie chicks with bovine features. sorry, but we will keep you on file for 6 months

 

you can live here. We have a dispensary, sort of....

 

i invented a game to sell on the street . a relaxed business partner
i haven't yet found tho i have a need . it's such a social game that it's lonesome to make , and then there's sitting on the sidewalk drinking coffee and talking to people which i can only do just modestly ok for reasons of mental temperment . otherwise , a room in a log cabin is available for 75$ . cute hippie females are ideal and certainly better than having a monkey .

 

you invented a relaxed business partner? lol im confused.

 

Hi,

this is the program for you:

http://wwoof.org/

some of the best experiences of my life have come from wwoofing,
it's exactly what you're looking for

aim for northern california

 

wwoof sounds good, maybe also post on the communes thread rather than here

 

what the hell is an ATlien btw?

 

that is awesome. I want to spend this summer learning about farming and I've already found two farms in driving distance from me I can volunteer at through that website. hell yes.

edit: nevermind. Not so awesome....30 dollars to register on the site? I understand it requires a certain amount of money to keep a nonprofit organization like that running but requiring 30 bucks up front to even register with the site before even finding placement on a farm seems a little ridiculous.

You only pay for their huge list of farms and stuff, it's worth it.

But yeah, the downside is some farms won't accept you if you're not a member

 

Try ic.org....;-)
