It will shap my abilities to following skills Learning and skill development: Many individuals join WWOOF to learn about organic farming, sustainable agriculture practices, and permaculture. It provides an opportunity to gain hands-on experience and acquire practical skills related to farming, gardening, and sustainable living. Cultural exchange: it offers a chance to immerse oneself in different cultures and communities around the world. Participants can live and work with local host families, gaining insights into local traditions, languages, and ways of life. It promotes cultural exchange and understanding between hosts and volunteers. Sustainable travel: it allows us to travel and explore new places while minimizing their environmental impact. By staying and working on organic farms, participants contribute to sustainable and eco-friendly practices while experiencing the beauty of rural and agricultural areas. Connecting with nature: For those seeking a break from city life or wanting to reconnect with nature, it provides an opportunity to spend time outdoors, engage in farming activities, and develop a deeper appreciation for the natural environment.

I joined WWOOF to study remotely, meet like-minded people in the meantime and learn about farming/permaculture, as it has been one of my life-long dreams. I'd like to be self-sufficient and own my own farm somewhere in the world, and I feel that the time in my life right now is a good opportunity to do so 🙂

Because we are interested in organic and natural farming practices and lifestyles and are invested in learning new skills through practical experiences.

I joined WWOOF becauce it was a quote that was recommended to me (a french boock : backpacker’s guide) and after looking at it I found them with a lot of description

I find the idea of getting to know locals and experiencing new tasks in the farming and harvesting sector appealing. I want to connect with people in their environment and contribute to their work. I love nature and believe this is a beautiful setting for work.

I've wwoofed before on an organic farm in Ireland and really enjoyed that experience and would love to experience a new place! I really valued my experience the last time I wwoofed and am eager to meet and learn from new people, develop new skills, and immerse myself in a different culture.

I have a belief in organic farming and the benefits it can bring to individuals and communities. For me wwoofing would be an incentive to travel and help others.

WWOOF trok mij eigenlijk meteen. Ik lijkt mij geweldig om mensen te kunnen helpen onder een gemoedelijke sfeer en ondertussen de omgeving te zien, nieuwe mensen te leren kennen en een goed gevoel erbij te hebben.

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.

The main reason I joined wwoof was because I found it to be very safe and a perfect environment for me to meet new people and get to know different cultures and ways of living. Through wwoofing I am trying to expand my horizon and grow up on a different level. Travelling gets me out of my comfort zone which is what I am trying to achieve.

I joined WWOOF to help people, learn about managing the backyard (I have 2 acres) and be able to work with horses. I am introverted and don't enjoy the pub scene - no I am not looking for a relationship - but am a easy going person who enjoys a laugh. Reading that sounds horrible so I please I apologise (you meet me and hopefully you will agree)

I want to experience more places around the world and learn more about sustainable farming globally. I tried wwoofing for the first time in Taiwan and had a wonderful experience. I am moving to Tasmania and looking for full time work in the hospitality industry but I want to try WWOOFing for a few weeks/months when I first arrive.

Be less anxious while waiting for work/ Experience a life different from the past/ learning English/ learn different skills Learn to live outdoors

As part of my degree, I have completed a Permaculture Design Certificate. I am hoping to apply some of what I have learnt while also continuing to develop my knowledge and skills. As a solo traveller, life on the road can also at times be a little lonely, so I’m also looking to find connection and community - even if it is only short term.

To know Australia better, to meet like-minded people, to put to practice a PDC and organic farming experience I have. I am so impressed by the beauty of the land that I am looking forward to engaging with people that tend to it and protect it.

My sister introduced me to the concept of WWOOFING and I value the concept, as well as the opportunity to learn new things! I also believe that it promotes a more sustainable way of travel and a way to connect with people. I hope to come out of the experience with new skills and knowledge, as well as great memories!

This year in April and May I stayed on a farm in Norway after I finally finished my bachelor and I gained a lot out of it not only learning interesting new methods in organic farming like Agroforestry but also living in a community and experiencing a new connecting with food. I would love to experience living with another community and learning new things here in Australia too.

I joined WWOOF so that I could connect with other people from different cultures and learn from them in different areas of life. Additionally, I joined so I could share what I have learn from my time on this planet.

We are joining WWOOF because we have big plans for our gap year and we are trying to find ways to travel sustainably, learn more about the places we are visiting, gain experience for our future, and experience nature in new ways. We were so excited to find out about WWOOF. We care about taking care of the land we live on and our own bodies, and we hope to gain insight from this program to bring home with us. Being so family-oriented, we are excited to help out at the community level and we hope that this program will introduce us to some amazing people and locations.

I want to experience organic agriculture in other parts of the world and explore aspects of farming that I am unfamiliar with, as well as meet new and passionate people!
