To learn more, travel more and teach my child more about the world. I want to learn more about permaculture, sustainment living, how to grow and care for my food.

I joined WWOOF because I am looking for a place to live and work to begin my adventure in Australia. I would like to discover the local culture as closely as possible, by sharing daily life with the people who live here.

We joined WWOOF because we want to deepen our experience in organic farming, learn practical skills, and connect with people who share similar values. As we travel through Australia, we’re excited to learn from different hosts, expand our knowledge about sustainable living, and contribute with our hands and enthusiasm. For us, WWOOF is the perfect way to combine meaningful work, cultural exchange, and personal growth.

I have a bachelors in Environmental Studies and I want to apply it in a more community-oriented way. Plus, I love meeting new people and trying new things, so I am hoping that WWOOFing will be a great way to do both.

I am a 67-year-old living on a scenic farmlet of 22 acres located 12 kilometres west of Lakes Entrance. With a large garden that encompasses vegetables, herbs, berries, an olive grove, and an orchard; it is a haven for a huge variety of native birds. I also have about a dozen hens, a rather noisy rooster, an aging horse, a dog and, at times, some neighbour’s sheep. Work varies from helping in the gardens/orchard, planting/harvesting the vegetables, wood chopping, weed control using non chemical methods and odd jobs. I do not actually practise permaculture but make my own compost and soil.  At one end of the property is a bush gully that abounds with local wildflowers and native animals; this is a corridor between the State Forest and the wetlands on the edge of the Gippsland Lakes. Being located near the Lakes also means it is close to the Ninety Mile Beach. As I am in designated Fire Affected area a focus of work is often clearing debris and preparing for a potential fire season.

We live on a beautiful and remote property in far north Queensland. We also manage the property next door to us and adjoin Mowbray National Park, so if you like nature, lots of space, peace and quiet, then we might be the place for you. We are fully off grid (solar power, pump our own water and grow a lot of our own food). We manage the property purely for maximum biodiversity outcomes and use it for research, education and conservation. The property is not farmed. It is half rainforest and half dry land ecosystems and we have many walking tracks and swimming holes you are welcome to enjoy. We also have platypus in the creek for those keen to spot one of Australia's coolest animals. Our work is usually 2hrs in the morning and two hours in the afternoon (4hrs daily) in exchange for three wholesome meals a day, accommodation and satellite wifi. We usually have a thriving organic vegetable and fruit garden that we produce much of our food from.

I believe that regenerative agriculture is incredibly important for our planet and people's health and that everyone should have access to organic, nutritional food.

On the one hand, my sister recommended it to me, and on the other hand, I thought it would be a good opportunity to learn a lot about Australia and life here. In addition, I am someone who likes to have a task, a meaningful activity, which is why I think the concept of working and traveling suits me well.

We're a small family living on a 3-acre homestead property on the rural NW coast of Tasmania. We produce a portion of our own food throughout the year from our orchard, berry patch, hothouse, vegetable garden and chickens. Our property can offer a good general exposure to a wide variety of regenerative, sustainable and resilient practices. We welcome short and long stays.

I decided to join WWOOF because I am currently on my summer break from university. After the term ended, many of my friends returned to their home countries, and I suddenly found myself with a lot of free time and not many people around. It felt a little lonely, and during that time I realized how much I missed connecting with others. I considered looking for a part-time job near my house, but for some reason, it didn’t excite me. I kept asking myself, “Is this really how I want to spend the next two months? Will this help me grow or bring me closer to what I truly want?” The answer didn’t feel like yes. Deep down, I wanted something more meaningful. I wanted days that felt exciting and fulfilling. I wanted to reconnect with people, meet new friends, spend time in nature, experience something new, and contribute to others. But at the same time, I had limited money, no connections, and I honestly wasn’t sure if such an opportunity even existed. Then I discovered WWOOF. It felt like everything I was hoping for—my desire to help others, to learn new things, to experience nature, to meet people again, and to make the most of my current financial situation—was all possible here. I also realized that living in Australia and having this kind of freedom is something that may not happen again in my life. I want to use this precious time meaningfully. I truly believe that through WWOOF, I can enjoy my days, connect with wonderful people, and grow as a person. That is why I am writing this message with so much excitement and hope. I am really looking forward to the people I will meet and the experiences I will gain through WWOOF. I feel deeply grateful to have found this opportunity, and I cannot wait to begin this journey.

Because I’d like to discover the word of the organic farms and enrich my knowledge in that way. I alredy did some wwoofing in Italy and in Australia too, and I really enjoy the moments there, I felt very connected with the people and the places

To take part in an exchange of my labour for cultural and technical learning. I enjoy gardening and working outdoors. To make my extended holiday less mundane. Maybe to help me be less afraid of coming across snakes and spiders in Australia.

I joined WWOOF because I wanted to experience different cultures in a genuine and meaningful way while also challenging myself and growing as a person.

I love working outside close to the wild. I'm interested in farm work, especially on an organic farm. It's according to my values and respect for the environment. Also, I'm looking for an accommodation ^^

I was a Wwoofer when I first traveled around Australia during my time with WH. That time, I  just traveled around as a Wwoofer in Japan. I came back and registered again here in Australia to gain new experience in the country's lifestyle, such as self-sufficiency, organic farming, and accommodation management. I can use a wide range of power tools, including all gardening equipment and DIY tools. I can handle a variety of housekeeping tasks, including manual labor, assembly, creative work, DIY, cooking and cleaning.

Most of my farming experience has been on conventional dairy farms. I would like to learn more about regenerative and organic farming. This would include mixed farms and horticulture.
