Mishelle Azure

My name is Mishelle I am a grade 12 high school student in Manitoba Canada, I am looking forward to a career in permaculture and to get me started on that path I plan on WWOOFing after high school. I would like to spend a year in France starting in January of 2016 (six months after graduating, to give me time to save up money) I was planning to spend a large portion of the year on one farm and the rest of the year between farms. my plan is to save up $12,000 working over the school year and for six months after I graduate, I have no experience with traveling and am wondering if this is this is practical, is this enough money to support me for a year of WWOOFing?
are there things I should take into consideration? Any advice will be helpful!

Thanks I will check it out!

I am currently in high school and graduating next year, I want to get into permaculture and eventually own a farm. I am a planner I enjoy planning, so I started calculating the cost of land but once I had the land I'm going to need to get the things rolling, so to speak. what I was wondering is what is the cost to start up a farm and what implement are needed, tractor, seed cost, livestock, earthworks that might be necessary. Any insights would be helpful!

really helpful! what are your thoughts on WWOOFing internationally, or should I stick to the area I'm planning on growing in to get to know the climate? internships are expensive, more grubstaking to pay for it?

Whops this was supposed to be with the other post, raising money for land is quite an undertaking how should I come up with funds for this? work an average job for a year or two? thanks for all your help.

thank for the advice, a few questions though. Grubstaking? and WWOOFing before PDC

thanks! I will check it out.

Hi, I Am no exactly new to this sight but have never posted before, I was wondering if any body had any advice for me in how to start a life in permaculture. I'm in highschool right now and graduating next year, I'm really passionate about permaculture I try to learn as much as I can online but am unsure in how to "get into to it" so to speak, after I graduate, I was thinking of getting my PDC this summer but can't find any one in my area who is holding one (I live in Winnipeg Manitoba Canada). Any way my point is where do I get started do I take more courses, or get an internship? where do I go from here?
Any advice would be helpful! Thanks!
