Why I became a WWOOF Host
I enjoy interacting with other people and sharing their experiences. it’s a wonderful opportunity to provide travelers with the ability to stay in an area for a longer period of time to get to experience Australian life and surrounds. enjoyable to showcase the tropical flora and fauna with visitors.
