Last summer, I worked at the Kōkua Hawaiʻi Foundation on the North Shore of Oʻahu, where I spent most of my days on an educational farm. This experience was my first real exposure to regenerative agriculture, sustainability, and the vital role smallholder farmers play in our food systems—it completely reshaped my understanding of how interconnected we are with the land. Farming also holds a special place in my heart through my family. My grandfather had a farm in the rural countryside of South Korea, and many of my favorite childhood memories are from helping him: harvesting potatoes, plucking strawberries, and caring for the chickens. Those moments were how I bonded with him and first developed an appreciation for the hard work behind farming. Over the past few years, I’ve been busy with university and job recruiting, but I’ve felt a strong pull to reconnect with that part of myself. WWOOF is the perfect opportunity to revisit my passion for sustainable agriculture, get my hands dirty again, and continue learning from those dedicated to nurturing the land.

J'ai rejoint woofing pour pouvoir découvrir la culture australienne, leurs modes de vie et découvrir leur beau pays et enrichir mes connaissances et mes expériences et j'aimerais aussi beaucoup apprendre l'anglais car c'est quelque chose avec lequel j'ai beaucoup de difficultés

Being able to live in Australia on a small budget, while learning new things, meeting and helping locals. Back home in Germany, I want to have my own vegetable garden and I am eager to learn all about it.

Stay on on a beautiful secluded waterfront 9 acres about 45 mins south of Byron bay 20 mins at Broadwater which is near Evans head and am 4 klm's from the Pacific hwy. I love the water, boats, my gardens, bikes. I have been an international traveler for the past 30 + yrs traveling every yr mainly kayaking, diving, motorbike touring and pretty much what ever else was on offer. I am now currently spending more time at home and due to some changed circumstances and am seeking some assistance in maintaining the property here, mainly with general duties like collecting branches and sticks after strong winds, planting, gardening, cleaning raking etc There are 7 to 8 kayaks here for use on a secluded part of the river an outside garden shower with H/C water to wash off, I'm a pretty easy going friendly person, myself and all my friends have love and respect for each other am seeking people of this nature. There is power available outside for campervan users and sink with hot & cold water outside loo and shower if desired and a BBQ area.

I am looking forward to working on interesting projects. After years of being behind a computer, it feels good to get my hands in the mud for a change.

I joined WWOOF because I'm interested in meeting locals and hear their view at their country and I think to Woof is a perfect way to achieve that. I am a city- boy, who wanna experience the farmlife as well.

I joined WWOOF because growing up in the suburbs, I always felt drawn to the idea of farm life. being surrounded by nature, working with my hands, and experiencing a more self-sufficient way of living. There’s something so grounding about it, something that feels like a return to the basics of what life should be! Whenever I have extra money, I book horse rides through the hinterlands. The freedom and scenery are incredible. Each ride reinforces my desire to experience that lifestyle, even if only briefly. Another big reason I joined WWOOF is my love for organic food and sustainable living. I've been trying to get my mum on board with eating more organic produce (we’re still working on it—baby steps!), but I really believe that what we put into our bodies matters. Yes, organic food can be expensive, but I see it as an investment in long-term health. If I can learn first hand how to grow my own food, even better! WWOOF seemed like the perfect opportunity to combine all these passions—nature, sustainability, and hands-on learning. I wanted to experience the day-to-day realities of farm life, gain practical skills, and connect with like-minded people who share a deep respect for the land. Plus, there’s something so rewarding about working outdoors, knowing you’re contributing to something meaningful.

One of my friends who is also here with an WHM Visa recommended it to me since she is using it and thinks that this is the best way to find jobs for the 88 days.

I am Eden andwas born and raised in the seaside city of Brighton in the UK with my sister and parents in the south-east of England. I was brought up constantly going on camping trips, long walks, wild swimming, and generally being outside. I have lots of experience on workaway and have stayed some incredible places from a wildlife sanctuary in Bolivia to working at Hostels in Colombia, Ecuador and Peru to spending two months working on farms in Spain. I also have experience working in restaurants since I was 16 and educational outreach with my university.

I am joining WWOOF to meet people with similar interests and to travel throughout Australia. I am looking to do rural work to hopefully extend my visa here in Australia! I am interested in learning about organic farming and sustainable living. I hope to achieve work experience through WWOOF as well as finding a community of other travelers and hosts.

I have a 5 acre property in the Sunshine Coast hinterland with a large vegetable garden, two orchard areas, various fruit and nut trees including bananas, mangoes, citrus trees ( orange, limes, lemons, mandarins), macadamias, mulberries, pecans, pomegranate, jaboticaba, rainforest tucker trees like Davidson's plum and sandpaper figs. A creek with endangered rainforest habitat, which my family have helped regenerate and revegetate with the help of landcare groups, runs along the length of the property for approximately 200 metres, and there lovely swimming areas, as well as a reasonable section of around 300m to kayak. The riparian zone requires maintenance from invasive weeds. There are two dwellings on the property: the main house with a large decking adjacent to rainforest, which is a great place to observe birdlife, and there is also a cabin which has accomodation separate from the main house, with a toilet and bathroom and large living area. I keep sheep and poultry, both of which provide produce ( meat and eggs) plus help with producing compost and fertiliser for the garden, and keeping the grass down. I have a single flowhive beehive which I collect honey from periodically. I have a dog, Dodger, who does what dogs do! He is very friendly and well behaved. The property shares a Land for Wildlife status with a neighbouring property, and we have recently had 300 koala habitat trees planted, most of which are thriving. Currently my 21 year old daughter and 19 year old son (as at November 2024), my two youngest children of 7, are living here as well, however there will be absences due to attending University in Brisbane or travel. My property is not a commercial property, so I am ineligible to sign for second visas

I have the experiences about growing rices and do farm of my family at my hometown. I can volunteer host about this stuff and I can enjoy nature, trees, plants and greenery surrounding at the same times.

I mainly have two reasons to join it. First I am interested in nature job, like a farm and ranger. I joined some conservation volunteer event in Japan and I was wondering how other countries' people did those. Second, I would like to meet new people. It's difficult to meet especially local people when I travel so, I think woofing takes me opportunity of it easily.

I joined WWOOF as a way to learn some new skills (looking to get some hard skills!) and to see and hear about interesting, and maybe unconventional, ways that people in Australia are living. I am looking to be able to contribute to a community, or family in a way that leaves me feeling useful at the end of the day. I'm also just really interested to meet some new people and listen to their stories!

I'm very concern with protecting and preserving the nature environment and would like to practice farming and gardening. This opportunity could be an amazing experiences to meet new people, learn new skills and improve my english.

I want to experience the world like the guy in Into the Wild—just with a bit more company along the way. Basically, I want to see and do as much as possible. I love trying new things, even if it means climbing a mountain and regretting it the whole way up—just to watch the sunrise from a slightly different angle. I also enjoy helping others and working on things that I can look back on and feel proud of.

We are looking for accommodation and work to support us through our journey on the big lap around Australia. This is a good opportunity to meet locals and get experience in organic farming, and get to know all kinds of animals even better. We dream of having our own organic garden some day so this the perfect place to learn how its really done.

Primarily I wanted to learn how to grow vegetables in organic way, but I’m also fond to meet friends with the same passion for gardening and self sustainable living!

As a single mum, I am hoping to use my child-free time to travel around NSW (and possibly further), having authentic travel/work experiences. I WWOOFed as a young adult in Scotland and Portugal and loved the journey so it will hopefully bring back happy memories! I'm stuck in suburbia for now but have the goal of living more rurally and sustainably. I really need to gain more skills to have the life I'm dreaming of, so will be happy to help out in any way I can and will enjoy learning as I go.
