How to wwoof
How I did it: I discovered this project long time ago, 3 or 4 years ago and it remained in my memory for long till last summer when i decided that i had to do something different. So i organized it more or less and went up to Norway to a farm in the middle of nowhere. The enviroment was great and the work was fine, i had plently of free time after work to do other activities as cannoeing and hiking. I met very nice people there too although not all of them were friendly and nice, i also foudn some troubles there but i can“t say it was a bad experience. I will do it again, maybe somewhere else.
Lessons & tips: Plan it well, have an open mind, be prepare for hard work but also for good moments.

Sherpa Living in Lanc again, going awesomely.
As one who has done some work on organic farms, either as a volunteer or paid employee, I have grown to appreciate how organic farming implores all of us who work with nature, rather than against her with chemicals and machines as a beautiful way to further bond with the food I enjoy and the world that produces it. So I hear about WWOOF, and that sounded interesting as a way to explore how others across the world farm practice this great way of producing food and fibers.

I want to do this somewhere tropical so I can learn about exactly what it takes to get my mangos/bananas/etc. packaged and shipped to the states. Top choices right now are SE Asia and Central America.
Well I became a wwoof member in NZ, but all the applications I sent were either rejected or unsatisfactory proposals to me. so I left the country early, for Australia. And in Oz, I actually got a paid farming job, which, let me tell ya, was so much better than wwoofing could’ve been.
So forget about the wwoofing, but make the most of every opportunity!
I’ve always seen wwoofing as a way to do some traveling abroad on the cheap, but I’m starting to think that I might like to wwoof in the States.
Traveling abroad is awesome, but I tend to forget about the awesome things to see and do in my own country.
Will try wwoofing this summer methinks.
Alaska maybe?

I think if one is going to WwOOF, they should start at home to reduce their carbon footprint, and to build the kind of local environment they want to live in. It’s up to us, not the other guy. :)
simply_hannah is updating her status. Ha!
I’m going to volunteer on a few farms around the US to try it out and see how I like it (and how it likes me). I really can’t think of a better way to spend a summer! ...volunteering, free room and board, get to meet new people and see new places, get out in the sun while getting exercise, and eat organic fruits and veggies that I helped to grow! I’m so excited.
When I go to New Zealand this year, I will be wwoofing for some time. Perhaps also in Australia.
