I joined WWOOF to gain hands on experience on how farms operate, especially the ones with livestock involved. Studying science, my goal is to become a vet. So I wish to learn more about the agricultural industry and livestock production in Australia. I also wanted to try living in regional areas to see if it suits me, because Im going to spend a lot of time in these areas if I were to study vet science.

We want to be part and join this project because we have been wanting to get to know Australia from a more authentic point of view for some time, not being just tourists, but part of the Australian culture. We also believe that it is a nice opportunity to get out of our comfort zone and lend a hand in different fields, being ecological or sustainable agriculture topics of great interest to us.

We have joined the WWOOFing scheme with the aim of meeting new people and getting a better understanding of the places we travel to. We are especially interested in meeting farmers and seeing other farms to gain new ideas and perspectives.

I am wanting a tree change. Tired of the city life. I also want to see some of this great country and give back to the backbone of this country. My plan is to have no fixed address for awhile. I have had a desire to work on farms for a long time and now is the time to make that move. I want to learn a whole lot of new skills and put those skills to use by helping out our farmers. I want to develop my skills so I can farm sit, part time caretaker etc. I like Rural Aid’s Farm Army and Farm Rescues, I would love to assist more I'm looking to meet so many interesting and fabulous people and Wwoofing seem like a great way to do that. I'm wanting life to not be predictable and not the same #%*! different day kina of thing. I want new people, new landscape, new horizons, new challenges

My main objective in wwoofing is to discover a new country and a new culture. Then, helping you, while learning a new way of working will be an additional satisfaction. Finally, one of my objectives for this trip is to improve my English level, I count on you to help me progress. So, WWOOFing is an opportunity: it would allow me to discover a new culture, meet new people and share unforgettable human adventures, which is very important for me. Moreover, English is an important professional criterion, to improve myself is an objective, a total immersion in an Anglo-Saxon country is the ideal, I will be ready to make the necessary efforts to achieve this, while listening to your advice. I am and would be invested a maximum to learn by your side. For me, exchanging is a chance for many reasons, it can only be beneficial for both parties.

I really like nature and animals and l am interested in learning about life on Australian Organic & Permaculture farms and learning about growing and producing organically. That is why I decided to join WWOOF.

Ok I would say see above. But as a sum up the concept of helping each other out, the host with accommodation and sharing their knowledge and way of doing things and the WWOOFer with their enthusiasm, hours of work and willingness to learn, participate and engage in the person/family's life as an immersive experience, to have hosts and WWOOFers grow together within the pursuit of a similar goal.

Of course I’m WWOOFing to travel and see the world but what I’m really looking for out of this experience is to connect to nature and get some headspace, to learn new skills, to get my hands dirty, and to come away with more knowledge about the earth and it’s creatures, including myself. I’m really excited about learning all about organic farming in every way it’s practiced. I have very far off goals of someday having my own little spot of land, even if that’s just a big vegetable garden in a backyard, and am really passionate about sustainable practices and giving back to earth as well as only taking what is absolutely needed.

I have heard from friends and strangers alike what an amazing time they've had in their WWOOFing experiences and wanted an immersive and cheap way to travel & also learn about farming!

Hi, we're Scott and Lanelle; a married couple with two toy poodles. We’ve been applying permaculture to our way of life and experimenting with regenerative systems in our suburban house, garden, neighbourhood and community. Our projects are a house-garden retrofit, community garden, native plant nursery and food-waste recovery scheme (Oz Harvest).

The reason why I joined WWOOF is that when I worked at a nursery school, I realized and was embarrassed that I didn’t know how to grow food and producers passion in teaching children food education. l think WWOOF is a great way to learn these things. In addition, I’m interested in culture, lifestyle or work style of different countries, so I’d like to have an opportunity to stay with multicultural people and encounter a new set of values through experience of  WWOOF. And also I’d like to learn about permaculture to put into practice it in the future.

Love the idea of helping others achieve their goals through organic farming and permaculture, whilst getting back into the outdoors, nature and community.

My dad signed me up. He went around Australia a while back and had great experiences WWOOFing. He thought I would like learning about how different people live, how to live more sustainably, discussing life, philosophy and the experiences of other travellers and hosts.

I want to learn more about farming. I also want some structure in the gap year I am taking. To me, WWOOFing is a way to learn more about things I’m interesting in, help others, and spend more time in areas I’m interested in.

I am currently in a gap year which I would like to be able to share as follows: a part where I work (currently done, by managing a project in favor of the integration of refugees) and, on the other hand, going to discovery of the world, of cultures, of encounters. After putting this project aside because of the context that we all know, I think it's time to take the plunge and go to the school of life, to gain maturity, in humanity. The WWOOFing seems to associate all that what I am looking for: discovery, sharing, meeting, proximity to nature.

Spending time with WWOOing ist for to experience Australian reality of life. We learn quickly, are helpful and diligent. After a successful day at work, we will enjoy to eat local, healthy and self harvested fruits and vegetables. Australians wildlife is amazing. To meet native animals will be a great time.  

I hope to learn more about sustainability, farming, permaculture and living a life kinder to our planet. I hope to explore more of what Australia has to offer and meet wonderful, like-minded souls. I also look forward to finding my connection with nature again and moments of solitude.

I would love to continue to build my skills in gardening, permaculture and natural building, and meet interesting people along the way. I have spent some time volunteering in Ladakh on natural farming projects, and in Australia doing some natural building and volunteering on farms, and would love to learn about beekeeping, cheesemaking, home brewing and distilling, food preservation, and the list goes on!

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.
