I joined WWOOF because I wanted to step outside of my familiar surroundings in Germany and truly immerse myself in a different culture. Traveling can sometimes feel distant or superficial, but WWOOF offers the chance to live and work alongside locals, which to me feels much more authentic and meaningful. A friend recommended the program, and the more I learned about it, the more I felt it aligned with what I was looking for. I’m especially drawn to eco-friendly farming and sustainable lifestyles. Instead of a commercial or tourist-oriented experience, I hope to contribute to something more grounded: working with the land, learning practical skills, and being part of daily life. I see WWOOFing as not just a way to travel, but also as a way to grow personally, gain new perspectives, and connect with people who value community and the environment.

Spectacular property with private river access, wonderful views, bushwalking, wildlife, fruit and nut tree orchard.  Accommodation is in your own tent, caravan or campervan, a small hut or a room in our house.

I would like to join WWOOF in Australia because I am very interested in learning about Australian agriculture and sustainable farming practices. I believe that by working directly on farms, I can gain hands-on experience and deepen my understanding of the land, crops, and lifestyle in rural Australia. Another reason is that I would like to stay in Australia for a longer period of time and travel around different regions. WWOOF offers a unique opportunity to explore many areas while being part of local communities, rather than just being a tourist. Finally, I am eager to meet people from different backgrounds and cultures. I believe cultural exchange is one of the most valuable experiences in life, and I would love to share my own culture while learning from hosts and fellow WWOOFers. I am excited to contribute, learn, and grow through this program.

I joined WWOOF because I love nature and want to experience farm life in Australia. I want to learn many new things, meet kind people, and help with daily work. I believe this experience will make me grow and understand Australian life better.

Have recently left work for a longer period of time wanting to learn more about farm sciences like agriculture/horticulture/permaculture. Mainly wanting to pick up, understand, learn and adopt various farming mentalities, ethics, practices, skills. Want to support, meet and help farmers who do really need a can-do-attituder and are happy to share their ideas; passing on treasures knowledge.

I visit my niece and godchild in Brisbane, travel through Down Under (and later even New Zealand) and work on improving my English and learning more about the country and its people

I wanted to experience farming while I’m still young and full of energy. As a university student, this is probably the only time I can take a long break like two months. Since I have this opportunity, I thought it would be meaningful to spend time abroad. Studying at a language school is great, but I believe living with a host family through WWOOF gives me a more real and deeper sense of the local culture and lifestyle. Also, it’s a more affordable and personal way to learn.

My interest in WWOOFing is in part connected to my family background. When I was growing up, for around 10 years my family would make a ritual trip to Victoria to look after my aunt and uncle's farm (a property that also hosted WWOOFers periodically). My interest in sustainable farming practices probably began there, and latterly has become something I'm keen to know more about. With my plan to spend several months travelling interstate, help exchange/farm stay work seems to be a great way of getting to know new people, and provides a means to experience destinations for longer. I'm a diligent worker (not afraid of manure), receptive to learning new skills and I look forward to exploring new places.

🌱 Why I Joined WWOOF I joined WWOOF because I want to explore and understand the connection between nature, design, and sustainable living. I’m especially interested in landscape design and urban planning, and I believe working with plants and the land is essential for building beautiful and practical environments. WWOOF offers the chance to learn directly from people, nature, and experience—not just from books or classrooms. I hope to work closely with hosts who can teach me about gardening, building, landscaping, and farming, and who enjoy sharing knowledge, daily life, and conversation. I would be especially happy to hear from hosts who: Are open to sharing knowledge about gardening, landscaping, or building Enjoy cooking or sharing meals Like talking in English (even simple conversations help me improve!) Please feel free to message me. I reply quickly and am excited to meet kind and inspiring people!

My family and I (4 grown up daughters and their partners) are creating a cafe/restaurant and child care centre on an 11 acre property on outskirts of Perth metro area. The property is 8km from Cockburn train station and 25 minutes drive from Perth city. Whilst My children will be running the businesses, my interest lies in farming the surrounding land based on organic/permaculture principles, with food forests, organic vegetable growing area and small animals to teach children about caring for animals and how to grow food. The organic food and pasture-fed eggs we grow will go to the restaurant to be a part of the menu. My wife is heavily involved in climate change action groups and that’s how she makes her contribution to the future of the planet. Whilst we have the same goals, I am more comfortable helping people learn about putting carbon back into the soil and enjoying the benefits of healthy food at the same time. We hope to have day courses when we are established to teach people about permaculture. There is a lot of local interest in the project. We would love you to become involved and feel the satisfaction of seeing it evolve. We have accommodation available in a small caravan for 2 people, plus a renovated sea container for 2 people All food and lodging is included. You will need to do your own cooking and sometimes share food with other Woofers For more info go to ‘11 acre farm’ on Instagram to see the progress we are making.

I appreciate nature, simplicity, and the connection between people, the earth, and animals. I’m eager to meet those who understand and respect the land, learn how to plant and harvest, and work towards self-sufficiency.
