I have been living in Melbourne for about two months and I really enjoy my life in the city. However, recently, I've been getting interested in life in the countryside in Australia. It is because Australia is a big country and famous for agriculture and livestock farming. Without any experience on a farm, how can I talk about Aussie life? And since I am a foodie and love to cook and eat, I am interested in ingredients. This is the reason I decided to register with the WWOOF Australia. To tell the truth, I have never worked on a farm. Well, the only experience in my life was apple fruit thinning during a school trip when I was a secondary school student. It was about 15 years ago, but it is still a good memory for me. So this experience might be a big challenge for me. At the same moment, I believe this experience will be a treasure for my life.

I joined WWOOF for the opportunity to go to interesting places to meet interesting people, I love working outside and am passionate about nature but also farming and growing and want to learn more from other peoples approaches around the world.

Since my different experiences until now, i changed my mindset. I want to learn, to discover all the practices about farm activities and especially permaculture. How cultivate and protect the nature in the same time ? I find it's a good concept to work some hours in exchange to have the food and the bed.

I love being outdoors in nature and I love gardening. I previously volunteered at an eco retreat which hosted WWOOFers and ever since I've wanted to do it! I'm really passionate about sustainability and the environment and I'm keen to learn more through hands-on experience. I think WWOOFing is a great way to learn and meet like-minded, knowledgeable individuals. I'm happy to get stuck in with anything and have a lot I can offer!

1. Passion for Horticulture and Sustainable Environmental Practices: Gardening isn't just a hobby for me—it's my jam! I've been digging in the dirt for years, and along the way, I've become totally obsessed with doing it in a way that's good for the planet. Think of me as a bit of a plant whisperer, always geeking out over organic farming methods like permaculture and companion planting. I'm all about keeping it natural, from dodging chemicals to boosting soil health with compost and worm castings. And don't even get me started on water—conservation is key, my friend! I've got this whole drip irrigation setup going on, plus I'm a rainwater harvesting ninja. Because let's face it, every drop counts! 2. Commitment to Environmental Stewardship: Being a good steward of the environment is my jam. Seriously, I'm all about protecting Mother Nature and leaving this planet better than I found it. Whether it's choosing native plants to support the local critters or diving into regenerative farming practices to give our soil some love, I'm on it. And WWOOFing? It's not just about sharing what I know; it's about learning from others who are just as passionate about saving the planet as I am. Together, we're on a mission to make our gardens greener and our world brighter! g

I'm looking for a different experience then working in the city and I enjoy working with my hands so working in a farm and to experience different lifestyle is what I'm looking for. I will be more then happy to help you in your farm with day to day work and anything that's necessary as young and well fit guy I'm sure I will be able to help with every task you will need me.

I have a growing interest in farming a permaculture. I want to nurture my connection to the earth and I am keen to absorb as much information and skills as the hosts are willing to share.

I joined WWOOF because I want to know more about my profession (gardener) in other countries. I have no probs to make my hands dirty, in contrary. Also I hope to make some new friends and improve my English skills. I hope to achieve a better knowledge about plants, seeds, trees and cultivation methods. I’m a landscape gardener so maybe I can also share my knowledge to others. I love to pave ways or build something, like a composter.

I’m interested in slow life in Australia. I love nature and animals. I’m also very interested in living abroad and would like to experience life in different countries.

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.

By joining WWOOF, I hope to learn to slow travel and spend more time getting to know an area rather than only spending a few days. I enjoy cooking and gardening, so I think learning about your farm is a natural progression for me regarding my interests.

WOOF represents a lot of values that resonate with my way of life: I am passionate about an eco-friendly coexistence with our planet and am confident that creating shared spaces and communities that work together towards this goal are essential for battling climate crisis. I am a big supporter of moneyless structures and I'm also an avid learner, who likes to share skills and acquire new ones with and from the people around me. I am looking for a good and honest conversation as much as I am looking for a place to sleep.

I enjoy a slower style of travel and having a solid routine to be in. I appreciate the exchange that WWOOF offers and the financial strain it can take out of traveling and paying for accommodation and food. My experience has also been that the rural areas offer more beauty and unique experiences.

I embrace WWOOF with an open mind, determination, and a passion for learning, seeking an experience that will enrich both my skills and my life. My goal is to acquire new abilities, particularly in sustainable living and organic farming, which align with my long-term values. The hands-on experience will not only provide me with practical knowledge but also connect me with others who share my dedication to the environment and farming. WWOOF offers me the opportunity to explore various parts of Australia, all while helping me stay within our budget and supporting our future goals. I plan to pursue a master's degree in fall of 2025 and understand that this next chapter of my life will bring increased responsibilities. Knowing that these responsibilities will continue to evolve, I see this as the perfect time to travel and immerse ourselves in the WWOOF experience.

I first heard about wwoofing from a friend of mine, who was in Australia in 2019 and I instantly loved the idea of getting to know locals while doing something good and learning about sustainable methods of eg. farming. I hope that I will learn new skills, improve my English and meet interesting and open people through wwoofing while getting an insight in the life away from tourism.

I would love to learn new skills and just do things I won't have the chance to do in a city. I'd like to escape the bustling nature of the city and experience the quiet life with your gardens and animals.

I'd like to create my own farm in the future in Japan, but I don't have some skills for plants and animals to grow up. So I'd like to learn it in the WWOOF. Also, I like cooking but I can’t make some foods except Japanese food. So I’d like to exchange cultures in WWOOF and I'd like to cook some foods I learned in this experience for my family in Japan. Then I’d like to experience instructive experiences which I can experience only in Australia!!

I want to volunteer with families and organisations so I can immerse myself in a different way of life and do what I have always dreamed of doing. I hope to gain animal care experience and to become comfortable being independent and with solo travelling.

We joined WWOOF to fill some of our time travelling, learn about different cultures and work in an environment that we would not have the opportunity to work in the UK. We hope to meet new people, learn and spend time in an alternative location.
