To learn from farmers and fellow WWOOFERS and to contribute to a worthy life purpose... growing food and caring for the land and its inhabitants. I am now able to travel Australia wide, spending time on the land to understand this diverse environment. I have recently completed a number of farm sitting roles over the past two years, that primarily involved caring for farm animals and pets.

In my early younger years I couldn't achieve to do this. Now I'm ready to explore and help and meet new people and see other circumstances. Develop myself on another level and being a good member of WWOOF!

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 believe in the near future we will have to be much more self sustaining than we are and I am looking to gain as much knowledge as possible on growing food, working with animals, building and especially off-grid living

I started doing a horticulture course online a few years back and just didn't commit to it. I thought maybe it wasn't the course for me but it turns out it's just not my style of learning. I don't enjoy sitting and staring at screens. That's a big part of wanting to be outside in the elements. So now I'm doing a permaculture course at Crystal Waters on the Sunny Coast next month (AUG 2021). I hope that will get me started along this journey as I have very limited knowledge on the whole thing as yet. When telling a friend about the course they mentioned WWOOFing and I figured that this would be a fantastic way to exchange my labour for education.

I joined WWOOF to learn both sustainable farming practices and to get a glimpse at how other Queenslanders live. I'm travelling and figured that getting my hands dirty would be the best way to gain new experiences and to extend my stay in a new places. I'm hoping to get a 'slice of life' from around our state.

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’m wanting to get out and meet new people and learn new things. I’m interested in learning more about natural building, organic farming, anything to do with plants/ food how to grow, look after and harvest. I’d like to gain life skills doing things in a sustainable way that cares for the planet. I’d like to be a part of a community that works together, shares ideas and grows as one while interfacing with natural environment. Hoping that by joining WWOOF I'll be able to meet some like minded people and find connections.

My work and studies shed an insight into why I want to start WWOOFing. I am passionate about sustainable resource management and agriculture but have spent most of my career at a desk. I am itching to get outdoors and gain some practical skills and experience on the land. I grew up in the Hunter Valley and have fond memories of riding quad bikes, milking cows, and collecting eggs on friends' farms. I've had a bit of experience in tree planting, floral data collection and habitat assessments through my degree.

I’ve never really worked in a farm before so I thought this is perfect way to break that barrier. I also love to meet new people and I think volunteering is the best way to do that. (Obviously its a cheap way to travel too) 😉

Keen to learn garden/farming/sustainability practices. Enjoy outdoor work. Meet like-minded people.  Good way to see different parts of Aus.

I am interested in the non-city life, and the sense of well-being it can bring to the soul - I often feel anxious and enclosed in cities. Due to having my gap-year plans cut short by this year's circumstances I am also looking to seek out new adventures, meet new people and rediscover the country I call home.

Having lived in Perth for the last 8 years, I'm eager to get away from the city to spend time learning how to live a more sustainable life and ways I can give back to the Earth. I'd like to broaden my skills/knowledge of horticulture through hands on experience while meeting friendly like-minded people.

It seems like a better way of working while travelling than the standard way of finding work, having that monetary relationship, worrying about where to live, trying to negotiate wages and all the other humdrum stuff. It sounds like the hosts are willing to share their knowledge, know how and experiences and be friendly at the same time. A very welcome change.

I'm just looking to get away from the hubbub for a while and learn some new skills. I'm Interested in agriculture and food storing practices, home brewing, eco dying and anything involving fermentation. So WWOOFing seems ideal.

We don’t know much about farming but keen to learn and channel our spare time towards agriculture and supporting farmers. We both are looking forward to have some hands on experience on how to grow vegetables and fruits. We used to spend time at Warners Bay Community Garden and Lake Macquarie Landcare. Overall, we would like to experience farm life, interact with farmers and learn farm work from people who feed the masses. We would also like to learn/share our experiences and expertise with Farmer friends. 🙂

It's time I started to learn how to grow things and live less from supermarkets. This has been on my mind for too long, and I think now, with what's happening with this crazy virus, it's time for me to embrace living in an alternative way.

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 joined WWOOF because it's an awesome way to travel saving money while being able to help other people at their properties!
