Wendy is a Saint Louis University alum, and Xavier is a French native. They met in Shanghai, where their lives were established. Last summer, they uprooted from their comfortable life to pursue their long-term travel dream. After 6+ months on the road, Wendy and Xavier decided to challenge themselves from being tourists.
In January, they participated on a work exchange via the Workaway platform. The experience took place on an off-grid permaculture farm with an American family who had transplanted from rural USA to rural Uruguay. For three weeks, they slept in a tent, and had their assumptions challenged. Despite leading relatively global lives, Wendy and Xavier were humbled by this lifestyle so unfamiliar to urbanites. They will share their learnings on the farm, and discuss the benefits of being out of their comfort zone, even only temporarily.
