After 4 years of studying am very eager to get out of the city and away from theoretical concepts and into the natural world with real people working hard to solve issues around food production. I cannot wait to have my hands in the soil rather than typing away on a laptop all day. Through WWOOFing I hope to gain an understanding of the real life practise of organic farming. Given I grew up in Victoria, I am not so much interested in a cultural exchange or spending time doing 'touristy' things but rather working and learning from growers and farmers. I do hope to one day own my own land and have my own kitchen garden and so (rather selfishly) also hope to learn a few tricks of the trade for my own food production. I currently have leafy greens growing out of planter boxes in my tiny garden out the front of my unit in the city and it ain't cutting it!

Phillippa has had WWOOFers live and work at a property in NSW so knows the dynamics of spending time with people from different cultures. Glenn loves the idea of exploring snd also working snd living with people on their land...

It sounds like a great way to meet people and to find opportunities to work for my keep whilst studying in Tasmania. I only need a space to set up my camper with some privacy, a garden hose and power lead and aside from that I’m pretty well self sufficient!

We are looking forward to having the chance to experience new places in the world. WWOOFing sounds like a great way to travel cheaply while being environmentally conscious! We are taking some time off post high school and university to do something different and interesting, see new places and gain new skills and experiences. We are very excited by the opportunities that WWOOFing offers in seeing different parts of Australia and learning unique skills and knowledge from new people. We are both very passionate about and interested in sustainability and learning new and better ways to live and work with the earth.

I joined WWOOF because I think it’s a fantastic platform. I see sustainable living as the future!! I want to contribute to community and live life in balance wth nature.

I feel that WWOOFing may be the ideal way for a solo woman to travel and be able to connect to the land and community. Being able to learn new skills and offer my services suits my character, I like to feel I have a purpose and I like to be busy. I am excited to learn what it's really like to be living off the land first hand.

We joined WWOOF as we are currently travelling around Australia for two years and we are hoping to learn more about organic farming, permaculture, biodynamics and self-sufficiency. We also want to give our children (who have mostly been raised in the city) the experience of life on a farm, a greater connection to nature, an opportunity to build greater resilience, and an appreciation for where their food comes from and the importance of supporting sustainable agricultural practices. We also love the idea of being able to give back by working in various capacities on different farms and helping to spread the message about the importance of organic, sustainable and regenerative farming, with a view to being part of the change that we'd like to see in the world.

To explore different parts of the country. Learn about permaculture and off grid living and meet people. As I have an interest in off grid living it would be good to meet other people doing this and also to explore parts of the country I may like to live in the future.

Learning about sustainable life.

We have already spent almost two years in Australia, mostly in Victoria. We like to travel a lot but we haven't been able to do so for more than a year. We enjoy meeting people, discovering the country and learn a lot of things. Nature lovers, we really enjoy walking and hiking or just being outside, taking care of animals, gardening and doing DIY. We spent one year in New Zealand five years ago and we did a lot of Wwoofing. We loved it ! Now our goal is to get a work visa in New Zealand and if we can to stay there for a while. Right now we want to go north to enjoy a pleasant winter after working for six months in the farm industry. On the way we would be happy to do some wwoofing. Looking forward to meeting you.

I originally joined as a WWOOFer in December 2018, in June 2021 I re-joined 🙂

James has had a little experience WWOOFing before, as have many friends. We're inspired to meet people living off the land, building and growing things with their hands and practicing different ways of living. We hope to learn new skills, open our minds to new ideas and have fun.

I am having a gap year (or two) to experience life in a different way. I want to learn. I want to share. I want to combine what I can do with what others can show and teach me.

I’m looking to purchase a farm in the next 5 years. Prior to that I am looking to experience life on a working property where I can see what life on the land with animals and crops is really like.

I don't love living full time in the city. I've always known about WWOOFing and have wanted to join, so here I am. I do not have room for a garden where I live at the moment and would love to spend time helping out on a property with a garden or a farm. I would love to learn about organic farming, permaculture etc. and I've had chickens in the past and love them. I prefer to learn hands on, am a quick learner and a hard worker, I also look forward to exploring and meeting new people while not working.

I find being in nature and doing a hard days work in dirt very grounding and rewarding, especially with other likeminded and lovely people. I'm looking for an enriching experience with other WWOOFers where I can make friends and learn practical skills from my hosts and my peers. I'll be looking to WWOOF from 16 November – 27 February 2021/2022 during my university summer break, and again during future university breaks.

I’m really hoping WWOOFing can help me find the right fit for me. A one stop website for all thing WWOOFing is super convenient. WWOOFing will help me be able to have a better work/home balance. I can’t wait to learn new skills, meet new people and see new places. If all goes well maybe in the future I can host WWOOFers.

I love WWOOFing, being in contact with nature, creating connections with like-minded people, sharing knowledge and eating sustainable grown food.
