I joined because I wanted to contribute my time and effort to something meaningful while also gaining my second visa. This opportunity allows me to connect with new people, learn new skills, and give back to the community, which is something I deeply value. Additionally, it aligns with my goals of personal growth and cultural exchange.

We joined Wwoof because we will be travelling for a year or more and we would like to meet new people and enrich our time away with new experiences. We love vege gardening and our kids love animals. We would like to share our skills, learn new skills and experience farm life.

During our time in New Zealand we had the chance to gain lots of different wwoofingexperience. We made many friends a long the way und fell in love with the concept of wwoofing. Now we would love to continue this in Australia.

In my opinion, WWOOF was a great way to start working and traveling in Australia. Without having a permanent place to live, it was a good way to gain first experiences with the work and people here. There is still so much to learn from each other and many great opportunities for cultural exchange as well as nice conversations. This kind of work is also completely different from my daily tasks and activities at the university, so I see it as a nice way to balance and discover new things.

I’m really hoping to achieve knowledge sharing between two different worlds and two different environments. I’m looking for a really positive skill sharing experience, even though we all keep similar breeds of livestock globally there are a million ways of doing the same thing! Also looking to keep costs down whilst I wait for my work visa and permanent job to start and I’m more than happy to provide my labour and skills to hopefully earn a roof over my head and a little bit of grub!

I have mental health issues and find sunlight, exercise and honest work very helpful. I have extra time at the moment to work on things and help out. 4 hours of outdoor work will be ideal for me at the moment. I love to be amongst nature and gardens.

I would love to make more new experiences and learn new skills during my stay in Australia.

I'm a heritage apple enthusiast. I have a beautiful organic orchard of 500 trees on the Mornington Peninsula. I'm well travelled & have an open mind. I have a large & lively family. I'm attracted to interesting & good heart people of all races.

I joined WWOOF because I am seeking an experience to form valuable connections with the owners of small farms in Australia. I am excited to learn about the agricultural and food practices in Australia, as I am passionate about food access, safety, and sustainability issues. I am currently on a Studio Art Program, and I would greatly value the opportunity to explore the agricultural landscape of Australia and appreciate the beauty of these environments.

I joined WWOOF because I wanted to experience and enjoy the Australian way of life in its most authentic and base form. Furthermore, I truly love working outside and doing farm work, so the opportunity to do it and help another person out seems like a wonderful thing. The exchange of knowledge and possibility to learn so many new things are also major points why I joined. Additionally, I would really like to cook for new people, something that has always made me happy, and to bring the joy of good and new food to many others. Furthermore, a lot of the volunteer work involves working with animals, something I am very keen on doing, on one hand because I adore animals of all kinds and find them incredibly interesting, and secondly because I am thinking of studying zoology or marine biology in universiy. Next, it also gives me a possibility to gather myself and explore Australia outside of the big cities, living a bit in the countryside or outer suburbs would be a very nice change of pace from the bustling streets of the CBDs. Lastly, it certainly makes it easier to get to know people, given that you will be living with them, and I wish to forge great friendships and lifelong connections on my travels. To work together, eat together, spend time together and laugh together, all this is why I joined WWOOF.

I want to get out into australias countryside as all ive seen so far is the city. To meet different sorts of people and discover a different lifestyle. I love to be outside and to work with plants and animals so this seems like the perfect opportunity for me.

One of the biggest reason to join was to be qualified for the visa extension. However, one of my goals is to work or get involved in something in a winery and farm (I am a huge fan of good wines). I see that this is a beautiful opportunity to step into the agriculture or wine industry to learn about them. Plus, volunteering is something that attracts me. My father is a part of Rotary community, and I sometimes helped with translating (Eng-Jpn) and activities. I believe in humanity and good things, I’d like to take this opportunity for my personal growth and to learn so that I’ll be able to share with the world.

I love animals and nature.They always make me happy.I’d like to work with animals if possible. Communicating with people from other countries help me grow.I can’t speak English fluently but I can have a daily conversation.I’m studying English hard.I want to speak English better. I would be glad to work in your nice farm. Kind regards.

I like gardening or helping around the house if it can also help me speak English better friendly, welcoming, I know how to garden, maintain a house, looking for accommodation to sleep in order to be able to work from night to delivery

Singapore, being the hyper-urbanised city-state that it is, has very few areas reserved for farming, and the farms which do exist are always designed to maximise floor area and efficiency. Through WWOOFing, I hope to learn what farming is traditionally like, be it within gardens or with animals, and spend time away from the hustle of the city in the peace of a farm. I have spent most of my life thus far studying or on the computer, and I am extremely keen to try something new 🙂

I have been interested in agriculture for a long time, and recently I learned that there is something called wooof. After I return to Japan, I am thinking of joining wooof in Japan. I want to have a relationship where we can have a positive impact on each other.

My initial plan when coming to Australia was to move to Melbourne, however after visiting a friend in the Northern Rivers for a few weeks I have completely fallen in love with the area and have decided that this is where my heart is set on being right now! After 11 years living in a busy city in England, I have been immensely enjoying the slower pace and more rural lifestyle that Northern NSW has to offer and am hoping to find somewhere to settle here for a while. In the meantime, I'm hoping to be be given the opportunity to WWOOF in order to give back to the land and local communities, meet wonderful people with similar values to me and take some time to just 'be' in the area and with the land. I love the idea of WWOOFing and feel that it is incredibly kind that so many people out there want to be hosts and hope to also be able to give back in order to show my thanks.

I have recently stopped working and would like to travel around the world meet new people and share new experience with host's and other travellers.  I have a 12 Month visa for Australia and would like to see as much of the county as I can. I am a friendly, relaxed and physically fit guy and I found WWOOF is a good way to promote good physical and mental health get to see some lovely locations and help people on the way.
