Why I became a WWOOF Host
We became hosts after working alongside travellers in my restaurant for many years. So enjoyable.
Having travelled and worked abroad we welcome this energy in our home and business.
The teaching aspect is great also.
We have a large comfortable home and we like to share it. This would suit a travelling couple very well.
