I joined WWOOF to be exposed to a wide variety of farms and learn more about the ways in which people approach organic agriculture. I am particularly interested in seeing established farms with environmentally conscious or creative approaches. Understanding the early challenges that someone faces in establishing an agricultural system is also of interest to me. I have chosen to learn through WWOOF because the shorter timeline allows for more variety than traditional agriculture jobs. I also value the hands-on learning that WWOOFing offers over reading and online courses. My sister is attending the university of Melbourne and I’m excited to spend a few days with her before of after my WWOOF stay.

Visiting Australia has always been a dream of mine, since watching a documentary about the continent as a small kid. Originally I wanted to visit Australia after graduating college in 2020 but then covid hit. So Iloked for a job in electrical engineering. After working for about 2,5 years I started to realize that working in an office doen´t work for me. I like to spend time outdoor get stuff done, not sit in front of a computer. I decided to joined this program as sort of a "sabatical" and to figure out, what I want to do in the future. Furthermore I would like to get better at english, since my english knowledge degraded a bit since I graduated college. Also I hope to get to know new people and the lifestyle in Australia and the difference to the lifestyle in Austria. It would also be my first time travelling to a whole other continent alone, so that too will be an amazing experience.

Joined WWOOF as I have 4 spare days around Agnes Water/Rockhampton and thought I’d give this a go after being recommended by a friend. I’m willing to get stuck in and help with whatever needs doing it’ll be a nice change from the typical touristy things I’ve been doing and a great way to meet actual locals!

We are interested in learning more about farming and we love to work in the nature, especially with animals. We think WWOOF is a great organization to meet new people, gain experience and learn more about the Australian lifestyle.

I joined WWOOF through American Institute of Foreign Studies (AIFS) and am interested in learning about life on Australian Organic & Permaculture farms and learning about growing and producing organically.

Le WWOOF va nous permettre de nous enrichir personnellement à travers les personnes qui nous entoure. Nous avons eu des retours sur la bienveillance des hôtes et c’est ce que nous recherchons. C’est une aventure humaine riche en émotion. WWOOF will allow us to enrich ourselves personally through the people around us. We have received feedback on the kindness of the hosts and that is what we are looking for. It’s a human adventure rich in emotion.

The reason I wanted to join WWOOF is because I want to learn how to live life more sustainably and responsibly. As time passes, I’ve noticed that I am becoming more and more dependent on materialistic and superficial things. Therefore, WWOOF is the prime opportunity for me to learn how to appreciate what truly matters in life. Furthermore, I’ve always had an appreciation of the agriculture and farming industry, since my household also took part in strawberry farming, I understand how difficult it is to run a farm. Which is why I would like to lend a hand when possible to those who need help, in exchange for the opportunity to meet new people and learn from their way of life. I hope to become a more environmentally responsible person after my experiences with WWOOF, as well as gain a more profound understanding and appreciation of the Australian organic farming industry.

We joined WWOOF to experience the farm work and help as much as we could the farmer's business. We are interested in meeting farmers and living the experience with them. It will also allow us as backpackers to explore the areas and cities around Australia. We love to gain knowledge and practice on farms thus educating ourselves about their job tasks.

WWOOF is how I like to travel and meet people. Contact with nature is essential for me. I will learn to speak English and meet other personalities. I also like volunteering in exchange for room and board, it's a good thing as a technique

I enjoy working with plants and animals and have done lots of wwoofing when I was in my twenties and met many interesting people. I like to help other people in making their projects flourish.

I joined wwoof because now would be the perfect time for me to engage in the work on a farm, before uni starts around April. I want to see what actual farm work is like and how you can make it as nature friendly as possible. I love meeting new people and woofing is just right for that as well :). I hope I can learn a lot about nature and how to life sustainable, wwoofing just sounds amazing to me!

Gday hosts! My name is Huon, I am 23 with my partner Jess who is 29. I am into surfing, diving and being outside! Myself and my partner have a big passion in living a low impact life eating organic food and connecting with the people around us! My background is in civil construction and concreting. Through my work I’ve done everything from creating wetland systems, concrete jetty’s, road projects, small estates and bulk earthworks. As I’ve grown up always been super involved with working in the garden and being out in the bush. I always have the drive to learn more about living within nature and the skills that go alongside that! I have joined wwoof so that I can gain many more experiences that grow my skills, quality relationships with others and outlook on life. Very excited for what the future holds. Kind regards Huon smith

I believe in the power of learning through experience and the idea that working on organic farms can provide invaluable hands-on experience that books and classrooms can't replicate. I'm eager to immerse myself in different farming environments, learn from seasoned farmers, and gain a deeper understanding of the diverse practices within the organic farming community.

To be able to gain new experience working on various farms and living with different communities. To immerse myself in different farming methods and be able to travel the world while doing so. To meet interesting people and build connections

“Willing Workers on Organic Farms” there is something to be said there.First of all you have to be Willing to experience something different, to be willing to get out of your “Comfort Zone” and that is not appealing to “sadly” lots of folks.A lot of folks like to stay in a space that is comfortable, but the way I see it Change is the only way to experience new life adventures.As I mentioned in other section I love to travel, to really try and experience “you don’t know how far you can go till you go as far as you can go”.secondly you have to be willing to work, and woofing enables you to get outside and feel connected to the land, and become one with it rather then feel separate from it.That was the wonderful thing about that long canoe trip, I was powerless over what Nature put in front of me, Wind determined every move I made, that and the weather staying dry was paramount !! I definitely felt part of nature rather then separate from Nature.If I could sum up the whole journey in one word it would be “HUMBLING” I was humbled every day from weather, from the love that folks gave to me along the way.There is A lot of love out there if you are willing to experience it. I have spent most my life on the water, it was rewarding in its special way, but now I want to experience the “Land” in a special way, and working on a organic farm, working with other like minded people towards a common goal is a powerful way to experience the beauty of life.
