Why I became a WWOOF Host

It all started when I was a wwoof volunteer in 1990 in New Zealand. It was such a great experience, I started hosting on my own property in 1996. I find it wonderful to be with people who enjoy and are also interested, in the beauty and intelligence of nature; producing our own healthy food, cooking together, sharing stories of life, sharing skills and information.
