I joined WWOOF through AIFS and l am interested in learning about life on Australian Organic& Permaculture farms and learning about growing and producing organically.

To meet new people, new perspectives on life, to question my own life. Reading the books that come my way, and finding out about the attractions of the jobs or environments I'm going to encounter. I've already done it in the French countryside and it was great.

I have come to a point where I am ready to make a change in my career and explore different opportunities. Before diving into my next job, I feel a strong desire to see the world and broaden my horizons. WWOOF provides the perfect platform for me to combine my love for travel with my enthusiasm for learning and contributing to meaningful projects. I consider myself a hard worker, always ready to take on challenges and give my best effort. Stepping outside my comfort zone is something I embrace, as it allows me to grow personally and professionally. I am driven to learn and grow. I embrace new challenges and always want to learn new skills. During my WWOOF adventure, I would love to work with natural products. I am passionate about the environment and believe in the power of using natural and sustainable alternatives. I am genuinely excited about the opportunity to work, learn new skills, immerse myself in another culture, and enjoy the beauty of a new country :).

I wanted to try something outside of my comfort zone and live off the city life. Trying to do something more rural compared to the urban life I have lived seems very interesting to me and I am very excited to try it out.

I joined wwoof because I think the best way to visit and live in a new country is to also learn new skills. Sustainable living is something I've been wanting to learn how to do better. I hope to learn more practical skills and learn about the process of living on a farm. Especially if it involves making genuine connections along the way!

This past year in school, I had a class dedicated to Climate Science and Social Change. We learned a lot about how our current agricultural practices are destroying the environment and through all the depressing conversations I realized I wanted to experience non destructive farming and learn more about sustainable practices. But besides from the climate aspect, I have always enjoyed being out in gardens, hiking, canoeing, camping, and just being in nature. WWOOF would give me the opportunity to do all these things while working at the same time.

I want to fulfill my dream of working with animals. I want to experience things that I can't do in Japan. And I was curious because my friend said it was fun.

We joined WWOOF to meet other people on the same path, to learn hands-on skills and to apply what we have been taught on our Permaculture Design Courses. We are interested to learn about bee-keeping, natural building, organic gardening, animal husbandry, and preserving food as well. Ultimately we would love to be a part of a community.

I've heard about it from my boyfriend who tried it out ind America and loved it. I also like to meet new people and experience new ways of living and I hope to see and experience a lot of this thorugh WWOF

Belinda has a long-term dream to work and live close to nature since little girl. Ricky enjoyed the city life. After we met, Ricky was convinced by Belinda to leave city life. We feel our heart is closer and closer to the nature, and highly appreciation all the hard work of supporting the food chain, especially health and organic food during the world pandemic. We strongly feel the farmers are not paid fairly to their handwork and their contribution was not recognised properly by the society. However, they are still trying their best to offer the most invaluable effort to us. After discussion, we decide to join WWOOF to seek the people who share similar ideas, and we may support each other in the future. We are beginners of farming, and we know that we need to learn a lot. We do appreciate that the opportunity from the hosts offer to us.

New experiences excite me, they are what I work for. In my perspective, WWOOFing offers a chance to simultaneously work and experience on a greater level than is usually possible. I believe that sharing a place can act as a catalyst that brings people together by creating common ground between individuals that may not have similarities in other aspects of life. I think that WWOOFing provides a unique opportunity to soak in the knowledge of the skills that organic farms depend on for standard operation while introducing a (literal) foreign body into the operation. I strive to be helpful both physically and in spirit in everything I do, this would be no exception. I see this program as an opportunity to be a part of a symbiotic relationship. In the ever-changing landscape of the world, I feel that is increasingly important to connect with others who differ from myself. I hope that through WWOOFing I can gain a greater understanding of how and why places and people function as they do.

I graduated with a focus on natural sciences in June 2023 and became my general qualification for university entrance. Since I do not want to study straight away but want to do a gap year, WWOOFing and backpacking are very suitable. It has always been my dream to travel to Australia and immerse myself in life there, which is why I think WWOOFing is perfect for that. I hope that with WWOOF I will on the one hand learn more about nature and animals and on the other hand immerse myself in cultural life in Australia and meet nice people.

As mentioned previously, I have wwoofed before in both Australia and New Zealand and enjoyed learning new skills and seeing many areas through the eyes of the local people. It was great to make new friends also, and I now look forward to more experiences wwoofing in Western Australia.

After living in a very small country my entire life I wanted to see and experience more of the world. Australia has so much to offer and I want to learn, do things I could not do before and and expand my horizons. Hopefully I would also like to stay here for another year, and to do that I would like to complete my 88 days - helping the community at the same time is a bonus

I heard about WWOOF from friends and they recommended it. They thought it would be something that I would like to do. I have my own small rooftop garden including a vegitable garden; all biological and organic. I’ll hope to learn new skills and methodes I can use myself one day.

It's something we've been thinking about for years, and finally have time for now that we've finished our graduate studies. After spending two years reading about sustainability and environmental studies in general we are curious about more practical hands-on work, and getting some real-life experience. We would love to learn about how organic and sustainable farming works, but also about farm life and caring for plants and animals in general. We're also so excited to meet interesting people from different places and make new friendships!

We are an eco-village co-housing community of 12 homes establishing in the centre of the town of Denmark in southwest Australia. We are landscaping the 6000m2 site into kitchen gardens, vege patches, a netted orchard and chicken coop. Accommodation in the Common House will be available. DecoHousing project has delivered a co-housing eco-village intended to set a benchmark for medium density housing and community living within a regional township. As best as we know, this is the first intentional eco-village built within a conventional rural town, certainly in Australia. Bicycles and free wifi available.
