It is a good way to meet aussies.  As a backpacker, it is really nice and easy to meet other backpackers from all over the world, and I really enjoy it. But I feel a bit sad spending that much time in a country without meeting people living here for decades/ life. Woofing is a good opportunity to make contacts far from the city, connected with nature and to have various experiences.

I joined WWOOF as I am really eager to learn skills to set up what I deem as being a hugely rewarding lifestlye - being in harmony with the land! I am really really really keen to move regionally and thought this would be a wonderful way to explore Australia and find a potential new area to call home. I also look forward to connecting with like-minded people who are pathing the way in the lifestyle I hope to create for myself one day.

I have joined WOOF because I love growing organic food and have a good level of skill and experience already. I want to spend some time travelling Australia and learning from other people who manage diverse organic properties. WOOFing is a great way for me to afford to travel and learn and meet new people from around the world.

I joined WWOOF because I’m looking for communities (wherever I’m travelling) to live with and make a beautiful experience. It just really fulfills me to be a part of something where people are all aware of themselves and live in a sustainable way, in harmony with nature. I have experience with gardening but I feel more potential for me to grow in this:) always place to learn!

I joined WWOOF through American Institute of Foreign Studies (AIFS) and am interested in learning about life on Australian Organic & Permaculture farms and learning about growing and producing organically.

Both of us enjoy & find fulfilment meeting & helping others, travel,.camping and van life close to nature,. exploring new places. As both of us have agricultural multi skills and are like minded about helping others barter-style, we thought by joining WWOOF we can present ourselves as a sort of helpful father-daughter team. We thmight be able to fulfil some long held dreams & goals

I enjoyed the experience so much - I want to continue the journey I started and maybe revisit some hosts if they're still around. I am keen to experience some alternative building and farming along the way.

To meet people and give help and I hope spend less of money and make friends. I am looking for work with horses and If I can be accommodated it’s better for me

I joined WWOOF to experience Australia through a more unique lens. I know many people who have tried WWOOFing and have heard nothing but positive, exciting and fulfilling stories. I’m travelling to Australia from Canada and I’m looking to step outside my comfort zone and try working and living in new ways. I hope to gain skills in different fields, learn valuable life lessons and meet many brilliant people. As someone who tries to live life to the fullest, and say yes to opportunities, I believe that WWOOFing will be able to provide me with so much wisdom and experience. I am eager to try new things, challenge my sense of self and grow as a person. WWOOF can help me achieve these goals, work on myself, and provide me with the adventure of a lifetime.

We joined WWOOF for the great experience it offers and the opportunity to meet new people. It is also a great way to save money and still have a brilliant time. WWOOF also seems like an amazing way to grow as people and learn more about yourself. We hope to use this to see Australia from a different perspective to our other travels.

I love being outside and working with my hands. I also want to travel in a sustainable manner. I have interests in living sustainably and would be interested in trying to grow my own food for sustenance one day. I just want to learn!

I joined WWOOF to live new experiences and do things I couldn't imagine doing before. I've grown up in a dairy farm and I'd like to discover new types of farms. With WWOOFing I'd meet people I wouldn't meet in other situations and create good memories with them

We are involved in an established olive grove of 3500 trees in the Hunter Valley producing both table and oil fruit. We have various other animals, pigs , goats, chickens and some adorable dogs to keep the animal lovers happy. We also have a little shop on the property where we sell our lovingly made, olive oil soaps and natural skin care range and a range of olives, olive oil’s, and homemade Chutney's.

My early 20s were spent WWOOFing around the place, particularly around the USA. When I came back to Aus I did a PDC in Berry, NSW, and found that WWOOFing was just such a joyous way to travel and meet people whilst also contributing to great local communities. I think its the best way to travel, as you get to actually help and be involved in local communities whilst being somewhere away from home. So I owe a lot to this community!

I very much like the idea of sharing knowledge and contributing to a more sustainable way of living. I heard Wwoof is a great platform with enabling to bring all of those values that are dear to me together through volunteering.

My Name is Quinn Daly. I am 19 years old. I grew up in far North Queensland, Cairns. I had a lot of exposure to gardening and being around animals but never on a farm. I currently live in Carlton, Melbourne. I want to WWOOF because I see agriculture as a potential career path and would like to get practical experience. I have worked as a kitchen hand, a life guard, and a baker. I studied Arts at the University of Melbourne. In the future I would like to learn carpentry. I would like to stay for at least 10 days with a host. I have no allergies or dietary requirements. I don’t smoke. I would like to learn how to grow organic fruit and vegetables and everything involved. I want to WWOOF to learn skills, meet people, see more of Victoria and gain experience on a farm. I am very used to physical labour and long hours and early mornings working as a Baker. In my free time my favourite thing to do is go to different bakeries. try their coffee and croissants. In the future I would like to open my own bakery.

I'm interested in food production, particularly horticulture, where the impact on the land and the health of the land and community is considered. I like being out and doing things and I think I have some basic horticultural skills that would be useful to host farms

So I can volunteer for a good cause, in a place that is closer to my work, to decrease the commuting time. I like to live a harmonious life, living from the land as much as possible, working, volunteering, being away from the hustle and bustle.
