Tomorrow I fly to Dusseldorf arriving at 9 or so pm, must find may way to the actual city, find hostel, then find train station, find the right town, then find two people I have never met and get in their car and go out into the countryside.
If they offer me candy I'm going to take it.
I am so nervous. Mostly about Dusseldorf, transportation and my lack of German.
I'm going to spend three weeks on this farm and then I think two weeks on a different one. I'm really excited about this. Excited AND scared.
Whenever I feel like this I can't get the little red riding hood song from Into the Woods out of my head. Even though I know so little of it.
Whew. Okay. Be calm. Focus. Patch your pants, find a travel alarm clock with a snooze button, breath, breath, draw some maps for yourself, breath.
I am really not a very good traveller. Too much anxiety. This is why I think wwoofing will be a good way for me to travel. You stay in one place for longer, you have something to focus on, you're forced to meet people, less money anxieties.
The first place has sheep and the second has a yurt!
