I have joined WWOOF as I have just begun my journey in my campervan and am yearning to feel purpose through working with the land and being of service to others whilst exploring Australia. I have a growing interest in gardening, plants, regenerative work & learning skills to become self-sufficient. I hope that i gain experience and insight from the opportunities that WWOOF presents me.

A great way to learn and give back while travelling around Australia plus we love it! I hope to better my knowledge of plants, and learn how to grow fresh produce, and for Caleb spending his day on a farm or in a garden is his absolute dream.

I grew up on a farm in BC, Canada and would like my son to get some farming experience. We live in capital cities and spend as much time as possible hiking and trekking but have not had the opportunity to get some farm life and work experience. My son is passionate about animals and is super helpful when given clear directions. I know how well one sleeps after a long day of physical work outdoors and want my son to experience this. I what him to step back from a meaningful job and know "I helped make that happen". He has chores at home but they are limited in scope as we live in a condo in the city. I think this will be an exciting and rewarding way to explore the people and places of Australia.

I Hope That i can find out something New. Meet other People and i Hope That i van lern from them. I like to See How austrailian lern and live Hope i can find here some work and i enyoed to have s very nice Time

I'm currently taking a year off from my studies of Conservation Biology. I really want to use this year to learn new skills and deepen my understanding of the land and natural processes to understand how we can work with nature rather than against it. I'm very excited to learn these new skills, make connections and help out in any way with the fantastic work you do.

I joined WWOOF because I want to experience life in Tasmania. There are many important life skills around sustainable farming that I believe I can learn while WWOOFing in Tasmania. I have long held a particular fascination with the unique ecology of the Tasmanian island. It would be a great pleasure that while I work and learn about how people sustainably harvest food in Tasmania, I could also experience the iconic flora and fauna of this region. I hope that I can also make some contribution to the hosts I maybe stationed with in any endeavors to promote ecosystem diversity around their property.

My family has a farm in the other district that my aunt is organizing right now she runs almost everything on the farm manually so we have shoots, bamboos, organic vegetable farming, and some fish pond in it and there is huge farmland that we haven't do anything about it yet. I want to learn and experience more about how to develop those farming systems when I inherited the farm after I graduated, so I can run and organize it the best way in the future with the knowledge that I have gained. It will be a good start for me to actually work on a farm and see how can I exchange that knowledge from the other country while I apply to this program.

One reason I would love this experience is that I wish I could discover the daily life of habitants in total immersion, and improve my English as much as possible. In order to do so, I am looking for a room in a host family. In return, I am committed to be available to feed animals, to clean their box or to make gardening, babysitting or cooking, do shopping etc. I love manuels labor and take care of animals (I have 2goats, 1horse 1rabbit and 2 cats in my parent's house). I have done a lot of gargening work in my life so hard work does not bother me. I do love nature and like to work in the wild to open my mind and find peace!

I heard about WWOOF through my brother in law. He is a doctor and went straight from studies till working. One day about five years ago the two of us went out fishing in the saltstream. He was talking about the rush and rythm of everyday living. How if he could start over he would work more with his hands before choosing a profession. It was stange to hear, cause as a doctor you would think he really made it in life. In a way he has, but knowing him to always speak the truth, it really stuck with me. So three years ago I tried WWOOFing, two weeks on a farm in the french alps. It was just an incredible experience! Those two weeks changed my outlook on life and what I want to do with my time. So now, three years after my first taste of WWOOFing I have decided to reconnect with nature and follow this old dream. There is no better country do that than right here in Australia.

I had a friend whose mum used to be a host, and explained how wonderful it was, and how interesting it is to see the different ways others live, and learn from each other.

I want to join it because I love nature and want to experience a different lifestyle. In China, I always live in a city that has many cars and people but few animals. when I came to Australia, the sunshine and the nature are so enjoyable, so I very much want to try to be a volunteer on a farm. Also, it is a good way to help people and improve me like to learn some life skills and make new people.

I was in Ireland during a summer like a WWOOFer some years ago and I would like to repeat the experience in Australia. I would like to meet new people who love agriculture and share the experience with them. I have always wanted to go to Australia and I think that go there being a WWOOFer is the perfect opportunity.

I joined WWOOF because I'm about to go on a road trip around Australia, so I thought this would be a good opportunity to meet new people and try new things.

I joined WWOOF because it is exactly what I was looking for! I really wanted to work on a farm, do something with animals or plants and just be outside and active all day! I am really interested in learning the howabouts of different forms of farming and taking care of animals and plants! I do have a little experience with horses and smaller pets because my dad is a veterinarian.

I joined WWOOF because I thought it would be a good way to travel around, being able to interact with people from different walks of life, and to experience/learn new things

The past two years of covid dominating the landscape of our world, has had detrimental affects on the health, safety, and wellbeing of individuals worldwide. We are now coming out the tunnel, with some hope of repairing what was lost. I would love to help my community and country at large. To re-connect, lend a helping hand, spread hope and joy, and in turn learn from my hosts.

To learn more about the opportunities WWOOF has to offer in order to gain some real life experience in my field of study. I look forward to finding my next learning experience and hopefully will be able to find an opportunity for the Summer 2022.

Like the community.English, moved to Australia 10 years ago. Love the outdoors and dogs. Living in rural Victoria, Little River one hour from Melbourne. Have 2 dogs, have my own dog training business. enjoy playing sport and meeting like minded people. Non smoker/drinker/drug free. have been with my partner for over 10 year. met whilst working on Hamilton island on the great barrier reef, spent 8 months working there on a working holiday. Fed up of the rat race and plan to buy a lifestyle property with my partner and 2 dogs (Mocha and Apollo). Like getting my hands dirty, although not very handy! Always eager to learn new skills, never late and hard working. Enjoy hiking with my dogs, frequently visit the you yangs and grampians in Melbourne, and love heading to the Bech with my dogs.

I’ve joined WWOOFing for a various reasons. I want to learn more about how different people grow their own produce and what the process is like, as its something I’m super passionate about and will embed more deeply in my own life in the future. I also want to connect with locals here as I’ll be calling it home for the next few months at least, and see what the vibe is for the people who live down here! I grew up in Tasmania so I’m interested to see how it differs with the warmer climate. As well, as I’ve been travelling and I live in my bus it makes perfect sense to find accommodation through exchange of work. I’ve heard many good stories from people whilst travelling about their positive experiences with wwolfing and whilst looking for options at caravan parks I realised this is something that resonates with me a lot better.

I joined WWOOF because I want to step outside of my comfort zone to immerse myself in challenging yet rewarding work while meeting new people from all walks of life. I hope to learn effective permaculture and gardening practices as well as gain knowledge from people living outside of the United States on how to live simpler off the land.
