I wanted to try WWOOFing a few years ago, but it didn’t work out at the time. I eventually forgot about the website, but during a recent visit to a small farm, the owners reminded me of it. Since I enjoy being in nature and helping people, I thought I’d give it another go.

I like nature and I wanted to see various animals in Australia. That is why I came to Australia. I think WWOOF is a good way for me to have this kind of experience.

The main reason I want to join WWOOF is because I love nature, enjoy a simple lifestyle, and support green energy. I try to be as environmentally friendly as possible in my daily life. I started working at a young age and have been exposed to many different industries, which made me appreciate a more simple and pure way of living. I hope this kind of simplicity can be beneficial to both the environment and living beings. I don't want my life to be solely driven by money or human interests. Instead, I hope to do things that contribute to the common good of the world—things that bring me joy and fulfillment. A friend introduced me to WWOOF, and I became very interested. I hope to join, learn things that aren't available in Taiwan, and experience things that I wouldn't be able to in my home country.

For work and experience. to learn about soils, seasons, livestock, obscure maintenance tasks.. anything agriculture. ...Some more areas of interest: Agro-ecological practices Conservation agronomy Natural capitol and responsible, self sustaining ways to sequester carbon Soil management, microbe regeneration Managed rotational grazing as often as possible (3-7 small paddocks/week) Land Consultants vs Ag-Architects vs Infrastructure Corporations

I joined WWOOF to gain some experience and knowledge in organic and regenerative farming so as to implement it on my own farm in the near future. Especially with cattle and other livestock.

We love nature and being outdoors and are excited to get the opportunity to learn new skills. We'd like to learn more about organic farming in general as it is something we both believe in and have a passion for and hope to use what we learn when we get home to the UK.

J'ai choisi le woofing pour l'expérience humaine. Le concept est génial : rencontrer de vrais locaux et pouvoir les aider en échange d'hospitalité et de moments conviviaux.

I have always wanted to Wwoof and finally have the time! I’m travelling in Australia for 2 months late April to late June and would like to volunteer not only to save my budget but because I am keen for a cultural exchange with a host and to help and learn. As I am on a tourist visa I believe I can volunteer on non commercial/small farms. I especially want to learn about gardening, permaculture and organic farming methods.

I want to experience the culture of a different country through agriculture. Also, I have only traveled abroad for the purpose of sightseeing. Through WWOOF,I want to experience the unique lifestyle and food by living with the locals.

WWOOFing felt like the perfect way to connect with local communities, learn about sustainable practices, and contribute meaningfully while meeting new people. We’re passionate about animal care and love lending a hand—whether it’s with daily farm tasks, caring for animals, or enjoying a good chat over tea.

I joined WWOOF because I think it offers the perfect mix of practical learning, cultural exchange and personal development that I'm looking for. Having recently become intrigued by sustainable farming and animal care, I want to see how it's really done in the field whether it's organic farming techniques and soil health management or livestock feeding and grooming routines. WWOOFing in Australia also allows me to improve my English, while working with hosts and other volunteers, and I appreciate the sense of community that WWOOF promotes. Living and working alongside people who love what they do for ecological agriculture encourages teamwork, mutual respect and the exchange of diverse perspectives. I'm looking forward to putting my energy and experience in pet therapy and family gardening to good use.

To connect with like minded people with interesting projects and created lifestyles while I travel and experience Australia! I hope to achieve a fluid lifestyle of work and travel searching for interesting woofing experiences that can help me grow as a person and also that I can offer my skills and creativity. I am interesting in Animal care, gardening and harvesting, housekeeping, sewing, cooking and landscape projects.

60-acre Llama farm in central Victoria. Basically a grazing property with rolling hills with lots of trees. I live here with my daughter(29) and my two grandsons (6 and 8). We are 15 minutes from the train to Melbourne which takes 1 hour. Apart from the llamas we also have a small flock of sheep, chooks, emus and dogs. A beautiful garden and mudbrick house.

I joined WWOOF because I’m passionate about sustainable living and wanted to experience hands-on learning in organic farming and community-based living. I value meaningful connections, cultural exchange, and the opportunity to contribute while learning from others. WWOOF felt like the perfect platform to combine my love for nature, discipline, and purposeful travel.

I joined WWOOF because I am passionate about agriculture and eager to learn organic and sustainable farming practices that I can bring back to my community in Kenya. I work closely with small-scale farmers in the Rapogi Lwanda area, and many of them face challenges like low crop yields and limited access to modern techniques. Through WWOOF, I hope to gain hands-on experience in diverse farm settings, understand how sustainable agriculture is practiced in Australia, and apply this knowledge to help improve food security and farming methods at home. I also believe in cultural exchange, and I see WWOOF as a great opportunity to share my background while learning from others. Volunteering on a farm is not only a way to contribute but also to grow personally and professionally. I am excited to be part of a program that values learning, helping, and building global connections through agriculture.

WWOOF gives us the opportunity to get in touch with the authentic life of an Australian family. We are interested in doing new things, learning about farming and get closer to the nature.

I want to get a perspective from different parts of the world, along with culinary experience from a wide range of places. I feel that hands on experience is much more important than textbook learning. I also hope to gain a better understanding of the places that the ingredients I cook with come from.

We're craving authentic experiences that you just can't get as regular tourists! After spending some time in Australian cities, we realized what we really want is to connect with the land and the people who work it. For us, WWOOFing isn't just about free accommodation. It's about learning skills we'd never learn back home, understanding sustainable farming practices, and experiencing the real Australian lifestyle. Jolan:

I've always been fascinated by self-sufficiency and growing your own food, something I never had the chance to properly learn in France. I'm excited to trade my computer skills for practical knowledge about farming, animal care, and living more connected to nature.

Eva:

With my background in environmental studies and passion for sustainability, I'm keen to see how Australian farms operate and incorporate eco-friendly practices. I'm particularly interested in learning about native plants, animal care, and sustainable water usage techniques I could potentially apply elsewhere in the future.

Together, we hope WWOOF will help us build meaningful relationships with hosts, gain hands-on experience we couldn't get elsewhere, improve our English through daily conversations, and create memories that'll last way longer than any tourist photos! We believe the stories, skills, and connections we make through WwooFing will be the most valuable souvenirs we take home from Australia.

I first joined WWOOF while living in New York City in 2022, as part of a broader transition into a more intentional, nature-based lifestyle. My dog Frankie and I began with a weekend on a small homestead in Vermont, where I got a taste of harvesting, preserving, and simple living - and knew I wanted more. We were all set to volunteer for a season on a commercial food-growing property in Florida, but two successive hurricanes had other plans. Still, the seed was planted, and the deeper calling only grew stronger. A healing journey has since been drawing me back to the land - and to my homeland, Australia. I’ve been fortunate to spend the past year on the beautiful mid-north coast, slowing down and reconnecting with nature. Along the way, I’ve been quietly working on a writing project inspired by this shift from global cities to a more grounded life. Now, I’m ready to expand even further – to learn, grow, and contribute to projects that support regenerative living and help build more connected, conscious ways of being.
