What we want to achieve thanks to WWOOF is to go back to the roots and get out of our routine. We are sensitized about Earth protection (climate, pollution, etc.). We want to learn and to understand process about biological farming. We hope to improve our English language too. Moreover, WWOOF is interesting to discover different jobs. We are curious to discover a new culture (landscapes, food, animals…) and a new way of life. We think that the best way to discover a country is to live with local people.

I feel like WWOOFing is an awesome opportunity to learn first hand and give back at the same time. I would like to one day start my own small farm, so I can produce good quality food for myself and my community and improve the soil and environment while doing that.

We are also highly interested in learning more about living organically, farming and gaining skills to create a sustainable way of living. Because of our limited budget, we are looking for organic farms where we can participate in voluntary work, in exchange for food and a place to sleep. We hope that there will be a farm who can fulfil our desire to help and learn. Dependable as we are, we want to add value to each farm and we are certainly not afraid to tackle any kind of work

Some of our friends tried Wwoof and shared many enriching experiences. We have joined Wwoof Australia because we believe it is a sustainable way to travel, connect with communities and like-minded people across the country, while still learning valuable life skills at the same time. We want to test our farm working skills to be close to nature and animals and, of course, to learn more about farm business. In addition, of course, to know a little more about the local Australian culture.

We see WOOFing as not only a way to explore Australia but also a platform to help us learn. Hamish and I both try to live an environmentally conscious lifestyle. We understand the evergrowing need for sustainable farming and permaculture (Hamish even wrote his university dissertation about permaculture!) As we both eat a plant-based diet, we're hoping to put these new skills into practice and grow our own food as well as take some time away from the UK for a little while to explore what else is out there!

I joined WWOOF as I believe it creates a special place for likeminded humans to connect, share knowledge and recourses with people who truly care about australia and our environment. WWOOF provides me with hands on learning whilst i study online. I feel this will open up a world of experience and connections. Super excited for the limited possibilities yewwwww

I've decided to take 7 months off from work to clear my head and ride my bicycle around Australia, I've been dreaming of doing this trip for a while and fortunately things just fell into place where I was able to do it. I'm planning to start on some touring in regional Victoria, then make my way up through the Victorian Alps and eventually up to QLD to visit some family. For the Summer I would love to be in Tassie the ride the length of the Island and then be back in Melbourne in Feb 2020 to do a self supported bike race called the Vic Divide 550 which runs from Melbourne to Albury in 5 days.

I woofed when I was 25 in France and loved it as a way of getting to know local food and culture. It presents a good purpose of supporting and learning from others while still giving a sense of being on vacation because the experience is so different. We want our kids to see travelling as a way of getting to know others rather than just site seeing. Luke and I have both found that the beauty of traveling is in the people we meet and the relationships we build.

After I have completed my (English-taught) Bachelor in Media Studies, I would love to see the world before deciding what I want to do next in life. I love nature, animals and meeting new people. I am interested in a lot of things and combined with it being sustainable, I think that WWOOF is perfect for me. I cannot wait to see the world!

We join WWOOF, because we want to share experience with people, learn a new way of life like working with animals, in a farm. It's also a good way for us to improve our English.

I was first introduced to the concept of WWOOF over 10 years ago when I used to host couch surfers. From that day I have wanted to get involved and now I am finally making that happen! I am all for energy exchanges/trades. I have been an active participate in the Couch Surfing community both in Australia and Overseas and would now like to immerse myself in the world of WWOOF. I would like to increase my skills/knowledge/be exposed to new things and get involved in the life that is around me/break up my week when I have space to enable it!

Since I was 15 I have always wanted to go on a bigger trip and combine travelling with working because I think that this is the best way to get to know an other country and to gain some work experience in different areas. I just love being outdoors, working with animals or doing some work in the garden or on the fields. This probably also was caused by a summer job that I did when I was 16 years old: I worked at a holiday camp on a farm where I prepared lunch for the kids, worked in the stable and taught the kids about the vegetables that grow in the garden. This was a lot of fun and I realized that this nature related work gives me a lot of joy. The ecological and organic approach to this working exchange also is a main factor why I'm interested in Wwoofing because I'm trying to live a minimalist life with less impact on the environment and therefore I'm very interested to learn more about eco-friendly living and growing food.

WWOOFing was something I often considered, but never did, before having children as I have always had an interest in organic vegetable growing. Now a big motivation is to give our kids a different experience that they can't get by travelling in camp grounds and caravan parks. I think seeing families providing food for themselves and the wider community will help our children have a strong appreciation for where food comes from. Also, I love the idea of having an experience of large scale farming on a station.

We joined WWOOF hoping to gain a better impression of Australian culture than is typically possible in 'normal' jobs available to work-and-travellers, as it will hopefully allow us to work in a more personal, immersive environment. Additionally, we hope to learn more about organic farms and their running - we consider sustainable living important and would therefore love to get a better insight into the origins of sustainableproduce...we're also just looking forward to spending some time outside of the big cities and see the beautiful Australian countryside, which WWOOF enables us to do!
