I am a 3rd year medical student currently studying in Singapore! I love nature and outdoors, and have a special interest in farming. However, due to my busy school schedule, I am unable to explore much. In our 3rd year of medical school, we have a 1 month electives at the end of our curriculum where we can do whatever we want whereever we want! Therefore, I have chosen to sign up for WWOOF to explore farming during our electives.

I joined WWOOF because I love giving a hand where it’s needed and learning from the people I meet along the way. After working in environmental research, I wanted to get out of the lab and actually work with the land. I learn best by doing, and I enjoy building, growing, helping with animals, and picking up new skills from people who live this lifestyle every day.

I decided to join WWOOF because I wanted a deeper, more authentic connection to the world around me. Traveling has always inspired me, but I realized that simply visiting places wasn’t enough—I wanted to experience life from the perspective of the people who care for the land. WWOOF offered exactly that opportunity. By working on organic farms, I can learn practical skills, understand sustainable living, and contribute to something meaningful. I was also drawn to the idea of cultural exchange. Staying with hosts, sharing daily routines, and learning from their experiences allows me to form genuine relationships rather than staying on the surface. WWOOFing lets me step outside my comfort zone, grow personally, and live more intentionally. Ultimately, I joined WWOOF to learn, to connect, and to make a positive impact while exploring the world in a mindful and respectful way.

Cennednyss Community is an intentional community of 5 households living on a small property in the Adelaide Hills near Mt Lofty. Our ages range from mid-70s to mid-20s. We live cooperatively, guided by feminist & ecological principles. Our native trees & 2 dams provide homes for many birds, possums & koalas. We work together to care for our property, growing a diverse range of fruit & vegetables & harvesting wood from our trees & honey from bees. We enjoy having hens, sheep, alpacas & kangaroos as well as domestic animals. WWOOFers will be asked to participate in all aspects of growing, management, harvesting and preserving our produce, including: composting, mulching & digging out blackberries. Also, fire prevention work & firewood collection. Accommodation for 2 people our home, shared mixed meals. No children. No smoking inside. Initial stay of 3-5 days, longer by negotiation.

We look over Wagonga Inlet to the township of Narooma where there is a cinema, swimming pool, several restaurants and supermarkets. The fishing, surfing and golf course are excellent. We are on 60 acres and have a few chickens, sheep and cattle. We also have dogs that are very friendly. You will stay in a separate cottage with a queen sized bed, own bathroom and deck with WiFi, t.v. and fridge and kettle. All meals will be in the house and we cater for vegetarians.

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 want to spend some time doing honest, hands-on work and pick up new skills along the way.

Well, I want to transition to another kind of lifestyle. I want to quit the city at some point and be part of a more sustainable and connected environment. Or that's what I believe, but the truth is I haven't tried it yet.. Before quitting everything, I want to learn about permaculture and get my hands dirty. I would love to meet people leaving in an alternative way, learn from them and see how I feel.

I would like to learn more about gardening and about different ways of life. I enjoy the beautiful outdoors and getting to know new people. I love to share my knowledge and learn from others. I would like to learn skills to be more self-sufficient in living off of the land and feel empowered by building this knowledge and understanding. I enjoy reading and meaningful conversation as well as exploring new cultures and environments.

I would love to learn more about permaculture. I grew up on an industrial farm, I loved being amongst the plants and animals but I knew there must be a more harmonious way to exist alongside nature. I hope to learn about eco-systems and how to help them flourish. I'm also interested in the medicinal nature of plants. Happy to learn/ do anything!

Over the last few months, I have been researching different ways to get engaged in volunteer opportunities.  WWoof seems like an excellent and trustworthy way to find volunteer opportunities as well as a chance to meet new people and experience local life in a family orientated setting. As an outdoor enthusiast WWOOF offers the opportunity to work with my hands, experience the outdoors and positively contribute to the environment.

We are located in the beautiful Yarra Valley just outside Melbourne, Australia.  The area is renowned for it's wineries and natural features such as Mt Donna Buang, waterfalls and the meandering Yarra River.  We run a wildlife shelter, caring for small numbers of native wildlife.  Predominantly kangaroos and possums.

I joined WWOOF because I was looking for a way to explore as much of Australia as possible in an affordable and meaningful way. I really want to meet locals, learn how people live here, and experience the country beyond the usual tourist spots. Many people recommended WWOOF to me, and the idea of exchanging work for knowledge, community, and real cultural experiences sounded perfect.

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’ve joined WWOOF to slow down from the hustle of the city and connect with local people learning new skills in anything related to nature and animal care, especially organic practices and permaculture. I truly believe that the WWOOFing approach reflects my values and I’d like to give my contribution.
