I am a traveler looking for meaningful ways to connect the nature and people of Australia. I desire to share my passion for nature with others through work exchange. I believe WWOOF aligns with my value of organic and sustainable farming.

I'm visiting Australia and I would love to get a feel of the country authentically by living among the residents rather than staying in hotels. I'm strongly considering immigration, therefore it's important for me to understand what real life is like (instead of tourism). I enjoy working with my hands, specifically building things and gardening. I love animals and currently gig in petcare (mostly cat/dog sitting); I would love to learn more about farm animal care. Traveling through WWOOF allows me to help the communities I visit, learn a new skill, and discover the true spirit of Australia.

Emu Ridge farms eucalyptus oil and produces a range or natural products. We are the only commercial eucalyptus oil in South Australia, operating a tourist attraction, retail & online shop. Volunteering includes farm chores, looking after wildlife, helping bottle oils & pack products we make for our retail shop. Accommodation for 1-2 people in our home or BYO. No children. Mixed diet. No smoking inside. Negotiable longer stays after initial visit.

We joined WWOOF because we wanted to travel differently, to discover Australia in a more immersive way, closer to nature. I love learning new things, especially when it's hands-on and outdoors! I grew up in the countryside, so manual work and life in the great outdoors speak to me. What's more, I really like the idea of exchanging time and energy for encounters and knowledge, rather than just passing through as a tourist!

I love helping people and working in the garden. I really enjoyed my previous woofing experience I like travelling and discovering new cultures

I joined WWOOF to explore the different work-away possibilities offered here. I’d like to know more about permaculture and how to build and manage a garden. I look forward to talk to you as a host! Thanks

I have joined WWOOF, because I want to meet new people, get to know the australian culture and to improve my skills and grow as a person.

It was the way I found to help me travel to Asia and help people and on the same time discover new places and cultures, see the real places and not the tourist areas, connect with locals. As I plan to find a job in Australia doing woofing can help me to have a place while I search for a job and keep myself active and working helping people and seeing the non tourist part of Australia.

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.

As a child I was always very afraid of the sea, because it seemed so big and mysterious to me. Nevertheless, as a child I was often seen in front of the TV when my favorite series "H20 Suddenly Mermaid" was on. I was so attracted to the beautiful surroundings of Australia and the sea that it constantly pushed me into this world. My interest for the history of Australia was also aroused in school when we talked about the Aborigines and the Commonwealth. This had a great impact on me and without really realizing it myself, I have developed an enthusiasm for Australia and its nature. Over the years, I have also overcome my fear and I have noticed how mysterious and beautiful the world of nature and animals is. Life has begun for me since then, outside my comfort zone. Another source of insprition was my aunt. When she was younger she did a Work & Travel year and told me a lot about it. This has inspired me to be able to travel and work at the same time, in a country that fascinates me. I am aware that also difficult situations might arise during my stay in Australia, but I am sure that my ambitions will help me to overcome them and to never forget the focus on my goal. I have also saved money, agreed to improve my language skills and I am looking forward to meet new people and their cultures. Nothing is more valuable than the experience you gain, because it cannot be taken away from you. I am totally excited to meet new international friends, experience Australia's fasctinating nature and to get to know everyday life in Australia. This time might also give me some inspiration for my future career path. I would also write a travel diary during the months I spend in Australia so that this time will be remembered forever and I can help others and to give them a chance to grow. "Home is not a place. Home is where your heart is." With kind regards from Germany

I would like to obtain a wine expert certification this year, so I want to study wine. Since I have over a month before I begin my new job, I’m interested in doing a farm stay to experience a different lifestyle, meet new people, and learn something new.

I would like to gain new experience at WWOOF and do some meaningful work for my accommodation. I look forward to meeting new people and developing myself further.

I recently purchased a small home in rural Japan and I am looking to acquire the skills necessary in order to live off the grid, free from the constraints of capitalism. I aim to learn homesteading techniques through hands on experience, taught by the people who know best: the ones who are living out my dream! I am mainly interested in permaculture, alternative energy, the repurposing of discarded items, and seeing other degrowth techniques in action.

I heard about Wwoofing very recently. And my first reaction was “But no! It exists? Why didn't I know about it?" I want to do Wwoofing to have the opportunity to experiment with agriculture, on a larger scale than the 12 square meters of my garden. To meet new people, a new culture, another way of life.

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.

I join Wwoof to do Wwoofing in Australia

Located in a beautiful secluded valley within the mountains in Upper Orara, 13 kms from Coffs Harbour- a 100 acre paradise with a stunning 6 bedroom, 2 storey owner-built (me) mud-brick home including an adjoining 2 bedroom flat. A new B & B separate building under construction, only one bedroom ready now. A creek & dam stocked with Silver Perch fish, 11 cattle, 1 Quarter Horse. 4 miniature pigs (3 pregnant), 16 chickens, lots of baby chicks.More cattle coming. The farm has been organic for 37 years and has much potential for growing organic fruit & vegetables with an established garden. Volunteering includes tending animals, gardening, weeding, working with horse (for experienced riders only), fencing, planting out trees, establishing garden beds, maintaining salt water pool, tractor work (only for experienced and licensed). Good manners, good attitude to the philosophy of WWOOFing is essential. (Which basically means we help each other and learn better ways to live on this planet.) Experienced in farm work would be helpful. Any carpenters, plumbers or mechanics are very welcome. I have been told many times that I am the best WWOOFer cook/chef hostess, I like to spoil my WWOOFers with nutritious and very yummy food. Organic beef grown here on the farm and fish caught from the dam on the farm or in the sea. (Fun fishing lessons on the beach.) The best pure unlimited spring water to drink, bathe in and water the gardens. 15 mins to beautiful beaches for fishing, swimming, whale watching etc
