Why I became a WWOOF Host
I have had so much fun travelling the world, working in other countries and learning about other cultures. Living in a very beautiful part of the world, I love to share it’s beauty, our unique way of life and experiences with other travellers. Having wwoofers to stay is as good as travelling the world without leaving home!
We have a huge garden and are slowly growing a food forest so I really appreciate the help that woofers bring to the garden. I also love to give them the opportunity to feed me with their own cultural cuisine and have always had a bit of fun with this. I learn as much from the wwoofers has they do from me, it is a wonderful cross fertilisation of cultures.
