I got to sail on a 36’ boat on Long Island Sound a couple of weeks ago. It was fun, but this isn’t really something I want to invest a lot of time and money into, so I’m going to give up for now.

The National Sustainable Agriculture Information Service has a GREAT database of sustainable farming internships and apprenticeships here: http://attrainternships.ncat.org/index.asp. I really want to do this for a season!
I want to join the Peace Corps, but it’s so hard to leave my family and friends behind in the U.S. I couldn’t carry a relationship through 27 months of long distance, and I’m scared that my grandparents would fall ill while I was gone. Does anyone have advice on stuff like this?
