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 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

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.

If I joined WWOOF it’s to learn more about working the land and to understand the techniques and benefits of organic farming on the environment and human well-being. Combining this cultural exchange in a foreign country is all the more enriching and interesting since I can help and share French culture with curious guests! I am looking for a host who want to share their daily life and their know-how of the land over a minimum month, in order to live the richest of experiences! I cant’ wait to share convivial moments with the family who will welcome me.

It was always clear for us to take a gap year after school and before studying. After some research we´ve discovered WWOOF! It´s an unique way to discover Australia from an inside perspective – always in contact with locals. Additionally, we want to improve our English skills, meet new people and explore a new way of living in an interesting culture which is very different to the German one. Nowadays the majority of groceries are treated with pesticides and genetic engineering. So it´s very important for us to support organic methods. In general, we´re interested in learning about your working methods and achieving new skills. Especially working on farms makes it possible to stay active in nature. We both are pet owners so we enjoy spending time with animals and taking care of them. Furthermore we hope we´ll develop ourselves in new situations, far away from home, and collect memories that will stay in our head forever!

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!

We would love to the chance to spend time enjoying a beautiful natural place and learn from hosts who are eager to share their knowledge. We are especially interested in staying with hosts who work closely with volunteers and are eager to get to know and learn from their WWOOFers as well. Some things we are interested in learning more about from hosts are small scale farming, animal care, cooking, how things are related in local ecosystems, indigenous culture, music/art. We are also drawn to spending time in Australia due to our shared heritages and are looking forward to having the opportunity to get to know more about our cultural background and the place where our parents are from.

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'm interested in farming. and I want to get better with my English skills. I've heard the life experience of WWOOF is very good for English skills and really fun.

I want to be useful and productive and not destroy the Planet. WWOOF is a perfect place for me to volunteer. To get back to my philosophy of "small is beautiful" lifestyle and community. I want to visit scenic, different locations where I've never been. Where WWOOF Hosts will have interesting and sustainable projects. Variety is the spice of (my) life. Whilst I'm not skilled in a lot of the farming techniques that WWOOF Hosts will be using, I'm happy to learn. I'm not afraid of hard work or long hours. I'm average strength and fitness. I spent a few weeks in Central Otago farming country in New Zealand in June 2021 helping my friend on her property. Acting as her clayton's WWOOFer. Loved it. But I'd already decided I wanted to go WWOOFing in Australia long before I went to NZ. It's been an aim for many years. Just a matter now of getting the van and bike on the road. Seize all opportunities that arise. While at same time helping hardworking, conscious people realise their own sustainable, small carbon footprint lifestyle.

I have wanted to try WWOOFing, and feel that it is the right time in my life for such an experience. I would like to meet and learn from people who have an orientation towards organic living and general self-sufficiency. I would like to learn skills in organic living, food production, botanicals, bush skills, foraging, regeneration and creating healthy environments.

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.
