I heard about WWOOF through my brother in law. He is a doctor and went straight from studies till working. One day about five years ago the two of us went out fishing in the saltstream. He was talking about the rush and rythm of everyday living. How if he could start over he would work more with his hands before choosing a profession. It was stange to hear, cause as a doctor you would think he really made it in life. In a way he has, but knowing him to always speak the truth, it really stuck with me. So three years ago I tried WWOOFing, two weeks on a farm in the french alps. It was just an incredible experience! Those two weeks changed my outlook on life and what I want to do with my time. So now, three years after my first taste of WWOOFing I have decided to reconnect with nature and follow this old dream. There is no better country do that than right here in Australia.

I had a friend whose mum used to be a host, and explained how wonderful it was, and how interesting it is to see the different ways others live, and learn from each other.

I want to join it because I love nature and want to experience a different lifestyle. In China, I always live in a city that has many cars and people but few animals. when I came to Australia, the sunshine and the nature are so enjoyable, so I very much want to try to be a volunteer on a farm. Also, it is a good way to help people and improve me like to learn some life skills and make new people.

I was in Ireland during a summer like a WWOOFer some years ago and I would like to repeat the experience in Australia. I would like to meet new people who love agriculture and share the experience with them. I have always wanted to go to Australia and I think that go there being a WWOOFer is the perfect opportunity.

I joined WWOOF because I'm about to go on a road trip around Australia, so I thought this would be a good opportunity to meet new people and try new things.

I joined WWOOF because it is exactly what I was looking for! I really wanted to work on a farm, do something with animals or plants and just be outside and active all day! I am really interested in learning the howabouts of different forms of farming and taking care of animals and plants! I do have a little experience with horses and smaller pets because my dad is a veterinarian.

The past two years of covid dominating the landscape of our world, has had detrimental affects on the health, safety, and wellbeing of individuals worldwide. We are now coming out the tunnel, with some hope of repairing what was lost. I would love to help my community and country at large. To re-connect, lend a helping hand, spread hope and joy, and in turn learn from my hosts.

To learn more about the opportunities WWOOF has to offer in order to gain some real life experience in my field of study. I look forward to finding my next learning experience and hopefully will be able to find an opportunity for the Summer 2022.

I’ve joined WWOOFing for a various reasons. I want to learn more about how different people grow their own produce and what the process is like, as its something I’m super passionate about and will embed more deeply in my own life in the future. I also want to connect with locals here as I’ll be calling it home for the next few months at least, and see what the vibe is for the people who live down here! I grew up in Tasmania so I’m interested to see how it differs with the warmer climate. As well, as I’ve been travelling and I live in my bus it makes perfect sense to find accommodation through exchange of work. I’ve heard many good stories from people whilst travelling about their positive experiences with wwolfing and whilst looking for options at caravan parks I realised this is something that resonates with me a lot better.

I joined WWOOF because I want to step outside of my comfort zone to immerse myself in challenging yet rewarding work while meeting new people from all walks of life. I hope to learn effective permaculture and gardening practices as well as gain knowledge from people living outside of the United States on how to live simpler off the land.

I joined WWOOF because I wanted to grow and eat organgic food. I am interested in all organic farming. I like being outside and having fun while working.
