Yes, that’s the kind of private shared shuttles I was thinking of, but if there aren’t many of you, I think it’ll quickly get a lot more expensive than the train. Keep us posted—I’d love to know how it goes! :-)

The regulations don’t explicitly require it, but it’s definitely recommended to have at least the first night of your hotel booked. It clearly "reassures" the authorities and helps avoid issues with overly zealous agents...

As far as I know, there’s no shuttle between CDG and Lille train station... The train is really the most convenient option. At a push, there’s a private shared shuttle, but it’ll probably be expensive...

A work visa for woofing seems complicated to me because volunteering doesn’t fit the criteria for formal employment... A tourist visa is easier but also riskier with customs... Because woofing is still work, even if it’s not paid. I’d try more of a J1 exchange visa by finding an approved program that can sponsor this type of stay.

Good luck! !

Hi there!

You can go through the Paso Canoas border crossing—seems like the easiest option to me. We took a Tracopa bus straight from San Jose. From what I remember, it was super long, like 8 or 9 hours, but it’s doable!

Have a great trip!
