I joined WWOOF to fulfill my longtime dream opening my world to new places, people, ways of living, growing,sharing, caring, working being and hopefully with better ideas of how I could manage the land I might one day own. My brother who is now organic, free range chicken farmer woofed in quite a few locations around New Zealand with inspiring stories. Woofers have been at times on there farm when they grew organic herbs and salad plants, joining us for occasions like Christmas they we're always interesting people, with stories of travel etc. Woofers often future on New Zealand country calendar these farms are always forward thinking with good energy. As an older woman traveling alone on limited budget Woofing is also a great option to meet inspiring people of the land with knowledge to share of the history of the area, there practices. There is local produce and produced produce and how to prepare these is definitely something to look forward to. Woofing has been a long held dream and I am excited to have this opportunity to live it in Australia.

I want to be open to any opportunity that may come my way in this season of my life. I am ready to expand my knowledge and skills, while giving back to a community in a meaningful way. I am seeking to learn, immerse and adventure!

I have joined WWOOF in hope to learn new skills, to meet new people and to live in places that i may not have had the opportunity in my normal everyday life. I believe that it is valuable for every being to know how to grow food, to maintain crops to live with animals and to discover more about sustainable farming. Since living in London and doing very much office based jobs however i have had a deep longing to connect more with nature and would like to Volunteer in Australia as this is a place i feel i have a lot of love for. Going forward for myself i would like to step away from the prospect of only working the typical 9-5 job and in time learn enough that i can find jobs that require me to be outside rather than inside the same four walls...that right now is the dream 🙂

We joined WWOOF for two reasons, the first reason is because we want to experience different ways of living. We want to learn how to be better gardeners and more self-sufficient. The second reason why we joined WWOOF is AiAi has never been to Australia and we would like to experience Australia and make of a lot of new friends.

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.

Honestly, I would like to make new connections. I am alone here, and my main issue is the language. I manage well enough to understand the essentials of a sentence but not the details. Additionally, I still lack vocabulary to express myself correctly. Woofing seems like a great way to immerse myself, learn, and make connections.

I have always been interested in homestays abroad, and I decided to join wwoof after a friend introduced me to it. I have always loved farming and interacting with animals. When I heard that I could do a homestay there and also help with farm work and animal care, I really wanted to go there, so I decided to participate. If I was going abroad for the first time, I would like to do a homestay to get to know my family and make new friends. Another reason is that I do not have many opportunities to listen to native English, so I thought it would be nice to be able to speak and understand even just a little bit. I would like to be able to interact with many people through English, improve my English even a little, and do activities that I would not normally be able to do to improve my experience and skills.

I signed up to WWOOF because I am passionate about alternative farming systems and I would like to have the opportunity to learn more especially in a practical way. I don't need a place to stay but I would like to work only 1 or 2 days a week because I have a full time job

A mostly regenerative 112 hectare property, 2/3 rds covered by Trust For Nature Covenant, in the lower Strathbogie ranges. We grow Olives and Blueberries and continue to build our stone house. There are two large dams on the property for those wanting to kayak and swim and the opportunity to bush walk and camp out in many interesting sites with fine views to Mt Buller National Park and south to Marysville ranges.

I joined WWOOF because I like the work on farms and it’s also a great opportunity to travel and meat new people. I think I can learn much while doing this and get better insights in the local life, but also can help with the work on the farms.

I would like to have some experience before looking for a job in Australia, and to discover life with local families. And also learn English more easily by being integrated.

Woofing is said to be an ecologically sustainable way to travel and that is right up our alley! The worlds health is the most important thing to us as we want to keep experiencing its wonders. This experience means a lot to us as it is a way that we can travel and really submerse ourselves in your country’s culture and ways of life. We just hope to achieve stability in a foreign country.

I would like to work on a farm in Australia to learn more about how to grow vegetables. I'm a passionate foodie and have always wanted to learn more about where food comes from. My dream is to one day own my own restaurant in the UK with it's own kitchen garden, so I hope to be able to use the skills learnt whilst WWOOFing later in life.

We want an authentic experience in a foreign environment that is more intimate than regular tourism. We would love to meet and spend time with new people from different backgrounds, and would also love to learn as much as possible about organic, sustainable farming and life in a different culture.

A home in à small village in northern Rivers NSW. Surrounded by native forrest work required preparation painting,other work to do with flood recovery. Skills in cleaning preparing and painting and wood work be good but not necessary

We are currently building in Crystal Waters eco village. We have goats and a large vege patch and a great system producing good soul with worm farms, compost and goat manure. We also have a house 20 mins drive away to live while building.

We are registering on woof because we are traveling in Australia for 1 year and for curious people like us, woofing is a perfect way to travel !

I would like to learn more about working on a farm and live an experience with Australian people and discover their culture and be able to exchange with them.

We would like to volunteer as a family. We view this as an important part of our elder daughter's education. As a family, Debbie, I and our elder daughter will take turns to care for the 2 year old toddler. I can take care of heavy lifting and share tasks among ourselves to get the job done. We also hope to get to know the host family, and share our cooking and meals together.
