I want to experience adventures and want to get to know different people. Further more i would like to get to know other lifestyles then the one i know in The Netherlands. WWOOF gives you the oppertunity to get to know yourself, different people and different lifestyles. I am hardworking and i have always loved the countrysides more then the city's. I am just very excited to work on a farm and receive more practical knowledge.

I am here on WWOOF to get a chance to discover the rural life. I come from the french Alps and I wonder how does it work anywhere else. Plus, it would allow me to meet new people and new ways of thinking.

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.

A combination of things, I want to try something new, I want to learn more about farming and I want try and see if I can use some of the knowledge from school and use it in practice.

I am travelling and WWOOFing in Australia this year as part of my travel package with the American Institute of Foreign Studies (AIFS). I am looking forward to experiencing Australian life.

WWOOFing is a great way to meet like minded people. It gives us the opportunity to establish contacts that we otherwise wouldn't be able to find.

I like to discover new people and new culture. I like the countryside as much as the city I find the principle of wwooffing beneficial for everyone

My friend Ann-Sophie joined WWOOF a couple of months back and had so many great interactions with people which is why I joined it too!

Before I came to Australia, I worked on two farms in Japan as a part time job. Actually I had been really interested in farm jobs, so I tried. I stayed with farmers and ate together, it was super fun and amazing experiences for me. And I realized that my life would be enjoyable with farm, admiral, and food. One of the farmers told me that you should try foreign country’s farms if you like farming because it is totally different and it will change your way of thinking about not only farming but also my way of seeing something. So, I decided to do farm job, but I don’t need second visa, and also don’t need money. What I want is just experiences and knowledges about anything. WWOOFis the best way for me!!! Of course, I will contribute to farmers, and I want to compare the different between Japan and Australia. I learned a lot of things about farming in Japan, so I would like to share, and I also want to get knowledge and good thinking.

I will like to show my kids how organic farms works, and how it is to work on a farm. I have been to Australia, 20 years again, and tried WWOOF at that time. Now I want to show me family, husband Morten, son Anton 14 years, Agnes 11 years old Australia and try WWOOF with them. It is a good way of learning about a country and and land, a good way to be together as a family. We have a garden in DK where I will like to be self-sufficiency. Katrine 🙂

I want to experience farming life and my friend who is the same university student and experienced wwoof in Tasmania told me about this program. This volunteer work might give me a lot of experience and learning so I want to join it.

I have always wanted to go and live abroad. At that time, my friend told me about Wwoof and I thought it would be perfect for me. Because Wwoof is more than just a sightseeing trip, you can get a variety of experiences while experiencing real life and work. Also, my friend who has actually experienced Wwoof in Australia seemed to be having a lot of fun and heard a lot of good stories. Therefore, I thought that when I go abroad next time, I would like to try Wwoof.

We joined WWOOF as we would like to experience a new environment while meeting some cool, like-minded people. We think it would be a good way to gain useful knowledge and experience during our stay in Australia, especially as we find our feet in a new country! We love a challenge and learning new things (even if its scary!) and we aren’t fazed by much, so we’re keen to get our hands dirty and do something productive, and have fun doing it.

I look forward to meet people, share skills, stories and be inspired to grow food and look after animals on organic farms. I hope to learn some new skills as well as share my own expertise with people who need helpers.

I wanted to visit Australia for many years, now the time has come. I like animals, there are a lot that doesn't exist in France and I'd like to see, I'm also willing to work during my trip and being with local people to learn about the culture of course !

Athena is participating in the Gold Duke of Edinburgh International Award and hopes to use a WWOOFing opportunity to fulfil her Residential Project requirements and immerse in a new environment.

Hello! Me and my boyfriend are used to workaway and helpx, so we were kind of familiar with the concept. We wanted to join woofing australia To help and support locals businesses and people who need. After the flood from last year we are completely aware that people really need a maximum of support. We did helpx for 6 months in United States and Canada. It was a beautiful way of traveling as we met so many new people and learn about so many things. I could work in a ranch (as it was my dream) with horses and with 7 dogs aswell in Arizona. That was such a lovely experience that I will never forget. The first time we did woofing was in New Zealand six years ago on our first working holiday visa. We really enjoyed it, as we were in a family helping them with their big garden around Wellington: every experiences that we had was positive so we couldn’t forget and we wanted more.

I want to experience farm life, growing fruit and vegetables in a range of climates using organic means. I teach a kitchen/garden program to primary school aged children and would like to gain more experience using organic farming means.

When I finished my environmental science degree last year I was faced with a choice - get a corporate environmental job in London, and pretend like this truly catered to my true love for nature, - or go searching for something better. My decision brought me to Australia, a part of the world abundant with untouched wilderness.. where I then ended up stuck in Melbourne for 5 months broke and drinking goon... haha. But after securing a job for 2 months on a prawn trawler I got on my feet and went to visit my friend in the lovely Atherton Tablelands, who is living on a WWOOF farm. I had no clue what this was, and after a month it has finally dawned on me that this is the lifestyle I was searching for. The rat race I escaped in the UK could not seem further away, I feel that by travelling and working on WWOOF farms I will have so many oppurtunities to explore this wonderful continent and spend time with such brilliant people!!

I joined wwoof, because I wanna learn new things, develop new skills and get in touch with natives. I hope that the farmers will teach me a lot about animals and plants and I wanna experience the daily life of an Australian farmer!
