I value earth-friendly and ecologically sustainable lifestyles and activities and for me, WWOOFing embodies that. I WWOOFed on a number of farms 30 years ago when WWOOFing was young and I even interviewed WWOOFing hosts for an ABC radio program that I made about it. I enjoy the opportunities that WWOOFing offers, to share and learn new skills and to sample a range of environmentally friendly lifestyles. I value community and am about to embark (in April) on an Australia-wide search for a co-housing community, where I can settle in the long-term. I see WWOOFing around Australia as complementary to that. It might also help me to decide where I might settle.

In 2020 I spent 3 beautiful months WWOOFing in NSW and another 4 months in NSW/Tasmania picking blueberries and cherries so I'm well accustomed to the outdoor lifestyle and working in a variety of weather conditions.
