I wanted to live with a host family in Australia while being close to nature and animals. After seeing the experiences of people who have actually used the service, I wanted to participate right away.

Before moving to Melbourne I spent 12 months woofing and doing HelpX around Europe and India. From playing in the soil at organic hobby farms, to making beds and shoveling snow in ski resorts in the Alps, fire control and clearing at mountain top Fincas in Spain, building Grass clad roofs in Ireland and constructing educational camps from bamboo in India, I've had the privilege's to be involved in a huge array of exciting projects! I work well with my hands, being a metal machinist by trade, I've been supervising a machine shop in Melbourne for the past 10 years. I love getting stuck into all sorts of projects and have a passion for sustainability, gardening, construction, art and just play in nature in general!

I am visiting my sister in Sydney for the first time, but I want to experience the countryside as well. I want to meet new people and learn new things. Organic farming and thinking is the future, I would like to learn more about that.

Wanted to learn more about the many different types of practices that small farmers use on all different types of crops and landscapes. I hope to bring passion and fun hearted times to all different kinds of people and see what the world has to offer.

I would love to explore new places and meet inspiring people. Last year I made my first experience in community-living. I’ve loved that and think it’s very nice to learn from each other. I’ve made some farmwork as well. During my school time I’ve lived on a demeter farm for 3 weeks and liked it very much. I’m interested to learn something about permaculture (but it’s not necessary) and use the trip to improve my English. So I’m looking forward to very different experiences in Australia!

I joined wwoof because I want to meet like minded people and learn new skills. I'm quite social and enjoy a more community based lifestyle. I believe many hands make light work and enjoy working with others to create something shared.

I reached WWOOF because all experiences are good to take and because this the best way to meet Australian and practice English. Also learn some jobs and about myself. Discover another culture is very important nowadays. I really believe that it will give me some opportunity that I can t catch somewhere else.

I joined WWOOF as part of my work and travel experience in Australia. So far, I have been primarily focused on traveling, but now it's time to delve into the "work" aspect of my journey. My hope is that I will have the opportunity to enhance my English skills, explore more of this stunning country, and acquire valuable practical skills along the way. I'm eager to immerse myself in the unique culture here and connect with interesting people.

Hey, we looking for work and friends during our trip in Australia and New Caledonia. We planned to travel around all these countries Our principal interest is the human bond, both being in social work. We also want to work during this trip and no matter what it is. We're not afraid about hard working and are highly interested about improving first of all the language and also learning the local way of life. We're 2 smiling people living spreading love

I used to be a WWOOFer in Spain and had a great time there learning more about myself and my goals in life. I would love to reiterate the experience as many things have now changed and reconnecting with nature seems like something I’d love to do.

I decided to join WWOOF because I m deeply passionate about sustainable living organic farming and connecting with people who share similar values. I believe that WWOOFing offers a unique and enriching experience that allows me to learn contribute and grow. My primary goal in WWOOFing is to gain hands on experience in sustainable agriculture and organic farming practices. I'm eager to learn about permaculture regenerative agriculture and other ecofriendly farming methods. By working alongside experienced hosts I hope to acquire practical skills and knowledge that will enable me to contribute to a more sustainable and environmentally conscious lifestyle. Additionally WWOOFing provides a platform for cultural exchange and community engagement. I'm excited about the prospect of building meaningful connections with hosts and fellow WWOOFers learning about their way of life and sharing my own experiences. This cultural exchange is an essential part of the journey for me as I believe that understanding and respecting diverse perspectives is crucial in today's interconnected world. Ultimately I aim to achieve personal growth a deeper connection to the natural world and a broader understanding of sustainable living practices. I want to leave each WWOOFing experience not only with a new set of skills but also with a sense of purpose and a commitment to applying what I've learned to my own life and community. In summary I joined WWOOF with the aspiration of learning growing and making a positive impact on the environment and the people I meet along the way. I'm eager to embark on this journey and contribute to the WWOOFing community.

I have many reasons. First of all, I want to experience abroad agriculture and learn from it. I study global problems such as food crisis, environmental pollution and how to approach them by agriculuture everyday just sitting on a seat and listening professors. But I realized that I'm ignorant about abroad agriculuture. So I decided to try farm stay in Australia which is thriving with agriculuture. Second, the biggest reason is to expand my world. As mentioned in Bio, I like to interact with many people. (This is an also reason why I love soccer!)  So, I want to talk many people who has different backgrounds. I'm not familiar with actual farmwork. I'm not fluent in English. But my enthusiasm is stronger than anyone!

When I was looking for the opportunity to participate in agricultural industry, a friend of mine told me about WWOOF and I found it really interesting.

I arrived in Australia this week and I want to discover this country. I think wwwoofing is the best way because we are directly with locals people. I don’t want to make lite tourism, I want to know how native's life is in real. Given that discovering Australia is one of my dreams, this year is the opportunity. Moreover I want to perfect my English.

We are visiting friends in Australia and are taking time to appreciate the country. Gunnar really enjoyed his time WWOOFing. So much so that it started a career in agriculture and native landscaping. It is a nice atmosphere when there are people from all over the world weeding or harvesting together. Hannah hasn’t gotten a chance to WWOOF yet but has become excited about the idea after camping next to a sheep farm. She has at least two years experience helping Gunnar keep his garden plot from being overwhelmed by weeds.

I joined WWOOF to complete my 88 days in order to gain my second 417 working holiday visa to spend another year in Australia 🙂 I’m looking at volunteering for a great cause and to learn a new skill and friends along the way!

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

What drew me to WWOOFing is the opportunity it presents for new experiences. I'm eager to connect with nature on a deeper level and explore unconventional paths. The idea of working on organic farms and contributing to sustainable living resonates with my passion for making a positive impact on the world. As I continue my gap year Down Under, I'm excited about the prospect of learning from hosts, sharing my own skills, and immersing myself in the beauty of sustainable living. WWOOFing seems like the perfect avenue for me to grow, learn, and contribute to a global community that values the environment. Looking forward to new connections and unforgettable experiences!

I did some wwoofing in New Zealand and loved it so wanted to try out some places in Australia as I travel. I love learning from the hosts about how their farm works and learning all new skills I can. I want to grow my own food when I go back to Ireland so always looking for tips from the experts 🙂
