I joined WWOOF because I wanted to experience a more meaningful and hands-on way of discovering Australia. I'm really interested in learning about sustainable living, farming, and connecting with people who have a strong relationship with nature. WWOOF is a great way to exchange help for knowledge, share cultures, and live something different from the usual backpacker experience. It’s not just about saving money – it’s about learning new skills, being useful, and creating real connections with locals.

I was a WWoofer many years ago, I then settled down and grew a regenerative edible garden & am now going on a working road trip to learn more & share my experiences before starting up another garden at my fathers house in Victoria

I've joined WWOOF because it's an amazing way to see the country and culture. You meet locals and see places that you wouldn't usually see. I also love gardening, working with animals and learning new things.

We joined WWOOF because it provides a unique opportunity to combine travel, cultural exchange, and hands-on learning experiences. We wanted to immerse ourselves in local communities, discover sustainable living practices firsthand, and gain practical skills in areas like organic farming, gardening, and eco-friendly construction. WWOOF offers the perfect platform for us to connect with like-minded individuals who value nature, hard work, and a more environmentally conscious lifestyle. For us, it’s not just about volunteering—it’s about embracing new experiences together, stepping out of our comfort zones, and contributing to meaningful projects that promote sustainability. We were drawn to the idea of learning directly from experienced hosts while helping to create a positive impact on their farms and properties. WWOOF also allows us to deepen our understanding of local cultures, build lasting connections, and share knowledge and skills with others. It’s a rewarding journey of growth, community, and shared purpose.

I joined WWOOF because I want to experience authentic farm life, work closely with animals, and learn new practical skills while contributing to a meaningful project. Growing up around horses and nature, I have always felt connected to farm life. Now, I want to deepen my knowledge by working on sustainable farms, helping with daily tasks, and learning directly from experienced hosts. For me, WWOOFing is more than just volunteering—it’s about gaining hands-on experience, meeting inspiring people, and embracing a simpler, more fulfilling way of life. I’m eager to share my energy, motivation, and passion for animals while discovering new places and cultures.

I have had interest in farming and agriculture and find this program would be a perfect opportunity. I am driven by experience rather than how much I can earn, so I am happy to work as a volunteer and contribute to the farming business.

I want to join WWOOF because I'm passionate about sustainable living and organic farming practices. I hope to immerse myself in Australia's diverse landscapes, learn from local hosts, and contribute meaningfully to their farms. WWOOFing offers me the chance to gain hands-on experience in agriculture, deepen my connection to nature, and build lasting friendships within the farming community. I look forward to exchanging knowledge, exploring different farming techniques, and embracing a lifestyle centered around environmental stewardship and self-sufficiency.

Hi I’m Misaki from Japan, 23 years old. I don't speak English frequently but I can have a daily conversation. Also, i would try my best to communicate to get to know each other and exchange our background. It has been my dream to stay abroad. I’d like to make friends who are from different countries and talk about each cultures. When I was university student, I studied fisheries.

I joined this program because I’m excited to experience volunteering in Australia and contribute in a meaningful way while learning new skills. If the opportunity involves working with animals, that would be a dream come true for me! Another reason is that I’m also working towards my visa extension, and I’m hoping that some of the placements can count towards the required days — this allows me to enjoy the experience while also progressing with my visa goals.

We believe that working within an Australian company and family is a great opportunity to experience the country’s customs and culture. It will also allow us to improve our English. We are excited to explore this beautiful country and meet its people. This type of experience is quite rare in France, and we find it both fascinating and enriching. We are eager to learn new things ☺️

We are keen to learn more about, organic, sustainable and regenerative farming and to experience more of this wonderful country. We would like to meet new people and communities whilst we travel around Australia. We believe in locally sourced food from non-intensive operations and are keen to make a worthwhile contribution whilst learning and gaining experience in the field. We are both fit, enthusiastic and willing to work hard. We try to consume responsibly grown, fresh produce and feel that the WWOOFing community aligns with our principles in this regard. When we are finished travelling we hope to build a small house with a little patch of land to grow food for ourselves. We have heard great things about the WWOOFing experience and are looking forward to being involved.

I first heard about the WWOOF concept while I was still in Germany, and I was immediately fascinated by it. I believe that sustainable farming is the future and I am truly inspired by the idea that people who share the same values can easily connect through the WWOOF network. I chose to join WWOOF in Australia because, in my opinion, agriculture is a vital part of a country's culture and I want to learn more about Australia. Through this experience, I hope not only to deepen my understanding of sustainable living but also to meet new people, exchange ideas and build meaningful connections.

It's a great way to experience different places & help out at the same time. I have been a wwoofer before (long ago), including near the Flinders Ranges, SA, & once each in the borderland of Scotland & near the Coast to Coast Track in England. I hope to achieve good contributions to my hosts' needs; learn new things ecologically & pragmatically; and work harmoniously with hosts & other wwoofers, as well as learning about & enjoying the natural local attractions.

Growing up my family hosted WWOOF's on our dairy farm, and I see it as a great way of learning about different types of farming and climates. I have a bit of time in between commitments and would love to get to know the country in Tasmania better because I'd like to buy a farm here.

I see WWOOFing as a beautiful and open platform to share the amazing experience of being alive with others. It’s a rich opportunity to exchange knowledge, skills, and stories with people I meet along the way. I'm passionate about learning non-conventional ways of living more in harmony with nature and the environment. Connecting with hosts and fellow WWOOFers who share this mindset is something I truly value. Being able to help hosts and collaborate through a platform that encourages mutual support, learning, and cultural exchange is something I deeply appreciate. WWOOFing allows us to build genuine relationships, contribute to meaningful projects, and grow as individuals all while living simply and with purpose. For me, it’s more than just volunteering; it’s about creating community, exploring conscious ways of living, and celebrating the joy of working with the land and with like minded people.
