There's no
better break to work on a goat farm with only one goat. Four months after we
left home, with over 5,000 miles on their backs, it does not hurt to park the
bike for a while. If the bike can also relax in Katrien's stables, much better.
We find this Slovak Paradise through an Internet page called Workaway, which
brings together volunteers with people who need help with different kinds of
work, (which may be teaching English to the family, making beds in a hotel on
the beach, taking care of the dogs on holiday or even building a house). The
volunteer does not receive any financial compensation, but in exchange usually
receives food and shelter. Therefore, it is a great opportunity to learn things
along the way and feel useful for the first time in a long time.
