I've just fledged my youngest child and I'm up for new adventures. WWOOF seems like a safe and fun way to be a solo traveler. As I age, I am becoming more interested in sustainability in all it's guises - food, housing, internal wellbeing. I know very little about gardening and permaculture, but I'd like to learn more. During this year of pandemic I've been delighted to grow veggies in my urban back garden. It's been a lovely creative outlet to make soup from my own ingredients. What do I hope to achieve by WWOOFing? Such an interesting question. I don't know and I'm leaning in to the discomfort of not knowing. At the very least, connection to new folk and new ideas with the opportunity to exchange my skills and ideas.

I joined WWOOF to get in touch with people involved in organic and nature friendly farming methods, to learn from them and join them in their venture.

I have joined WWOOF as I got a taste of farm life and I am excited for more experiences and learning. It gives me absolute joy when working on a farm where I can contribute and make a difference.

To work in organic farms, learn heaps of new skills and meet the locals. In some woofing placements in NZ I really felt like I was part of the family.WWOOF is an amazing community.  I love the sociable aspects of woofing, and meeting people from very different background

Community is everything to me. I love to exchange time, energy, skills, life lessons etc with like-minded people and putting all those together to make something grow, recover or develop.🌸🌈🌅

We both enjoy meeting new people as well as learning new skills. Organic farming is something we try to practice at home and are always interested in learning how people practice

I wanna learn working style outside Japan. I'm interested in wild, organic and animals. I wanna use English as much as possible. To join wwoof I will be able to get new experience. I don't use waste time in spring vacation. So I decided join wwoof.
