I've joined WWOOF because I have recently graduated from uni and am now seeking new adventures, skill sets, and connections with amazing people and places.

Our primary reason for joining WWOOF is to learn more about permaculture hands-on and to offer our energy and service to this cause. We hope to make connections with like-minded people and explore other parts of Australia.

I have come to WWOOF in hopes to engage directly with positive ecology; an interest that is not limited to one form of practice. Through engagement with prominent and emerging farming practices, I hope to discover more techniques and strategies which may bring them together. I hope to find ways of balancing cash crop seasons with cover crops and rotational grazing. I hope to find ways of practising agroforestry with high biodiversity. I wish to learn about all aspects of farming; from the hunter-gather and permaculture skills from which we began, to the organic bio-dynamic agroforests to which we will go.

I joined WWOOF because I think it's a good way to get much new experiences, getting connected to people, learn a lot about Australia and hopefully about myself. It is great to help people with some work and get accommodation and food. And to be honest it´s nice if you have not that much money to travel.

I joined WWOOF to meet new people around australia,also I really appreciate and believe in the woofing way. Im a hard worker with a lot of experience and motivation, and I think I can help a lot in every place that I will work for. I volunteered in Israel and I want to do it more in my life and I think WWOOF is a great platforn to do so.

I joined WWOOF to gain experience as an individual and in organic farming, I believe the future is in organic, sustainable farming on a local and commercial scale. We're seeing how unethical our methods are with poor crop yield, and unhealthy soils. I would like to learn how to bring organic farming to my neighborhood, and my own backyard in the future to reduce my carbon footprint. I want to learn from other countries, and their methods of sustainable agriculture.

In February I will graduate and in March I will move to Australia. It has been a dream for too many years and at the end I decided to book a one-way ticket to Perth. I will stay there for a year ( I hope) and would like to live as many new experiences as possible. The only thing I know is that I want to live my life to the utmost and do not want to have any regrets. Since the moment I realized that, I decided I wanted a brand-new start, so here I am!

Even though I know exactly what kind of job I want to do, I don’t feel ready to start an independent working life in a city as big as Paris yet. I grew up in the suburbs, surrounded by nature, quietness and a breathable air. When I was a kid, I used to scout with my friends during week-ends and summer holidays. We camped and hiked in the forests and the mountains, crossed small rivers, farms or fields as far as the eye could see. Discovery, adventure, nature, surpassing oneself, those are the words that truly define my scout experience. I always knew I'd need to go back to those kinds of experience in the future. So here I am, doing a gap year between my last two final years of study so I could experience wwoofing in Australia. It’s an opportunity for me to take a break from this predefined pattern of student and professional life in order to reflect and to refocus on what I'm ready to do. Discovering Australia has always been one of my dreams. I look forward to arriving in this country with so many beautiful diverse landscapes. I believe that wwoofing is the best way to be fully immersed in Australian life and culture, meet new people and improve my English.

We want to learn about this country's culture, and wwoofing is one of the best way to do so by working with passionate people and with the opportunity to travel around the country. To be honest, we don't have any experience on working in a farm, but we are eager to learn and ready to improve. Our english isn't the best, so we wish to improve it by talking with people.

I joined WWOOF for get out of my comfort zone. I want discover an other country, an other culture, help others in their daily life and get to know them.

Now I'm travelling in Australia with my girlfriend, Sarah with our Working Holiday Visa, to work in a winery during the Harvest. Before and after the harvest time, we travel and discover Australia, in our car, and in Tasmania ! Wwoofing it's an occasion to meet Australian people and nature, work and discover this amazing country ! We have our own car and we are ready to work !

A close friend of us talked about WWOOF and we knew immediately that this was something for us. We love the concept and wish that this will be the way for us to come closer to the farm life and the country itself!

My true passion has always been with animals and nature. Being with and taking care of animals is what instantly reloads me with energy and makes me truly happy. Back in Sweden I will eventually start my education to become a vet nurse. Being outside in nature is also something that I always loved, wether it is an adventure, such as hiking, climbing, diving or sailing; or simply just working outside, I always loved it. Anyway, right now things are not as they used to be for any of us. I'm still here in Australia trying to find a place to stay and a job anywhere in New South Wales. I've mainly been working as a waitress in Sydney these couple of months, but with that not being an option anymore I'm hoping to find work as a volunteer on a farm for a while. I've been in a house on my boyfriends parents farm in central west New South Wales quarantining for 2 weeks, so now I confidently seek for a place that needs extra help. Hope to see you guys soon!

Alissia wants to improve her English and we would both love to learn new skills related to farm work or anything else that we might have never thought of ! We love animals, nature and are ready for new experiences. When it comes to work we are a serious and hard-working couple.

we are looking for a more human experience than just working for money, and meet real citizens of australia to learn more about their experience/story and stuffs.

We joined wwoofing because it's the one oft he best way to combine traveling with working. Furthermore I like the way of giving and taking from each other in the wwoofing experience. We wwoofed for a while in New Zealand and we had very good experiences. Also it is beautiful to learn more about the life of the native people and to learn more about the culture. Even if we love to be on the road it's nice to have from time to time a little home and to be a part of a family/ community. Another reason why we joined wwoofing is that you can learn from other people how they life or doing their garden. We love to work with or in the nature and to do active work. To learn is an mind opener and we really like to be more keen on in the self-supporter lifestyle.

I joined WWOOF because when I was studying in Tasmania and traveling around, I met many WWOOFers from all over the world who had all really enjoyed their experience traveling around Australia this way. When I returned to the United States after studying in Tasmania, I got connected with some local organic farms near my home university in Colorado, where I worked as an intern and taught other community members about the importance of organic agriculture. Now that I am finished with my degree, I want to travel back to Australia and experience different styles of organic agriculture while exploring the beautiful country.

I‘m searching for a safe place where I can stay during the next few months working for free accommodation and food, making great memories and getting to know more of the Australien lifestyle!

I currently work at a utilities company and it's helped me to learn that I love working outside in the fresh air and getting exercise as I work. I want to spend more time with plants and animals and learn more about how to look after them, specifically ducks and goats if possible -- I'd be interested in owning both someday, but want some hands-on experience with them first. I grew up with chickens and a horse. My parents used to make their own grape juices, applesauce, fruit preserves, bread, ketchup, and even a syrup made with bark from a hickory tree! I'm interested in doing more sustainable cooking, eating, and preserving, and working with ingredients from the soil to the table. When I was in Singapore a few months ago I visited a bar that uses as many local ingredients as possible to design cocktails native to the area, such as jackfruit or hibiscus flavoured drinks. They also used locally-sourced products to make their coasters, cups, and most other things in the bar! I really admire that philosophy.

A few years ago, I spent a few weeks working in a wildlife rehabilitation center in South Africa and it was amazing. Living in the small, flat country of the Netherlands, I am looking forward to immersing myself in a completely different, open and more rugged environment to work with nature and animals again. WWOOFing seems a great way to discover a new place; while working hard and learning about my surroundings and the people, and hopefully making new friends along the way. I am looking to work for a few weeks in one place, explore the area, and continue to travel more of the country. I would love to work with or around animals, food and wine, or with ocean/lake/river related projects. However, I am broadly interested and open for experiences that had not yet crossed my mind. I'm not afraid of getting dirty and although do not have much experience in farming, I am looking to learn more, and I generally learn fast.
