Tristan Penfold

Personal Bio

I’m a 20-year old Sydney boy with a passion for new life experiences. I love travelling and nature, and despite being a ‘city-slicker’ have no problem with getting my hands dirty.

I am very sporty but also love intellectual pursuits – keen for deep chats (currently studying philosophy). I also love to work on DIY projects, especially building projects using my hands!

I speak Italian fluently and completed a 5-month exchange at an agricultural school in Italy a few years ago, which gave me useful farm experience. Last year I also volunteered at a permaculture farm for 3 months just outside Mullumbimby so have some experience with holistic practices.

Why I joined WWOOF

I am interested in the non-city life, and the sense of well-being it can bring to the soul – I often feel anxious and enclosed in cities.

Due to having my gap-year plans cut short last year I am also looking to seek out new adventures, meet new people and rediscover the country I call home.
