I am  joining WWOOFing so I can travel to  Australia while being able to  gain work experience and meet people from all over the world,. My goal is to grow my knowledge, gain experience in diverse social, and cultural environments.  I am hoping this will help me to also gain the confidence and independence while working abroad on a farm.  I hope to form natural bonds with other open minded people from different countries, as well as grow as an individual.  I feel this will also help me to gain insight as to the career path that I wish to choose when I am come back to Canada.

I’m traveling around Australia at the moment I will leave Melbourne and travel to New Caledonia, Fiji and back to Australia for a bit. I couldn't live in the local place when I lived in Australia, so I want to take this opportunity to try.

The starting point of my interest in Australia was hearing the experiences of two friends who actually studied there. They shared stories about the rich nature, warm people, and beautiful scenery that couldn't be found in Hokkaido, where I live, which piqued my curiosity. Additionally, last year, I conducted research in my university seminar on the theme of "food and agriculture." Through this, I discovered the allure of agriculture and the vastness of the world, which led me to consider challenging myself abroad and experiencing Australian agriculture, hence my decision to participate in WWOOF this time.

I just love nature. I like feeling nature and bathing in the sun. Nature gives me happy. So,I think I need to protect natures. I want to learn overseas agriculture. So, I would like to apply what I learned to my life. I would like to brush up my English by WWOOF. I think I want to hard work and have a lot of experience with the hosts.

Having volunteered in the Caucasus for over a year—living and working up in the mountains—has made me realize this is where I feel my best. As someone who always tries to fully immerse into the country I am in, I like to live and work with people who love what they are doing, in order to exchange many different ideas and ways of living. What better way is there to do this than through WWOOF?

The reason why I try to join in WOOF is that I would like to have an opportunity to stay with people in different backgrounds and work in a farm.   In Japan, Australia is known as an agricultural country and I often see a lot of imported products from Australia such as beef and flour. I believe that understanding Australian agriculture through practical experiences will greatly benefit my dream of working in international companies because these companies deal with exports and imports with foreign countries including Australia. Through the experience of WWOOF, I hope to gain great experiences in Australia while also improving my English skills.   My English level is intermediate and I can have a basic conversation.   I would be glad to work in your nice farm. Thank you!!

I choose to become a woofer because for me it’s the most economical solution to discover a new country but also the best way to make authentic connections. I really want to learn how to farm so I can assist my mom when I return. I’m strong so no problem with physical work and in Belgium I went to the young movement so I have skills in enclosure construction or in stump removal and I enjoy doing manuals jobs and discover new skills. I don’t have my driver license so I prefer long term woof.

I joined WWOOF because I'm keen to meet locals, learn about local farming practices, and share my enthusiasm for gardening and hands-on work. It's a great way to connect with people, exchange knowledge, and get involved in the community. And of course I also hope to be a helpful addition to their farm. 🙂

I am joining WWOOF because I want to immerse myself into Australian culture, try something new, and work with my hands. I love the premise of sharing ideas, promoting sustainable values, and building connections!

Because like nature. I want to have a wonderful experience. I want to meet a lot of people and feel Australian culture. I want to make use of it in my life from now on.

I decided to join WWOOF Australia because I have a working holiday visa and I will arrive there at the beginning of May. I plan to look for work once there, being aware of the great demand, I plan to do wwoofing while waiting to have a job which would allow me to extend my visa. This will also allow me to get to know the people living there, understand their way of life, learn from them and who knows, become good friends.

In the past, I had wonderful exchanges and experiences in volunteering as a wooofer in new countries I had the luck to visit, so why not in Australia too. Coming to Australia in 2024 with a WHV, I would like to discover and learn more about your far away country and from Aussies : your way of living, local practices and gain new skills. I hope I can give some of my energy to work with you on your projects, learn mutually and enjoy authentic Australia with you and others volunteers during this year to come.

We are interested in getting into closer contact with Australians and your way of life. We like gardening and animals, and values such as respect for nature and sustainability are important to us. Further, we don't only want to travel for tourism, but also to do something meaningful.

I joined WWOOF because I love to travel and gardening. I thought this would be a good way to learn about new perspectives and techniques regarding farming. I am also excited to meet and learn about new people.

I've already done heplx with a family for a week and really enjoyed the experience. I love learning and discovering new things.I'd like to volunteer to help.

I would like to experience the real life in Australia. I'm excited about the people and look forward to the varied work and experiences I can have.I would love to work on a farm and also with animals. And maybe you'll make friends for life!

I joined WWOOF because i like to meet new people and new places. I would like to learn more about the Australian culture and the Auatralian way of life. Living directly with local people is also the best opportunity for me to get more practice in speaking English.

I love agriculture, especially dairy farming, and I plan to make dairy farming my career in the future. I have studied dairy farming in Japan by going to various farms for training. When I was a high school student, I studied dairy farming in New Zealand and enjoyed the differences from Japan. I also like to study foreign languages, so I always wanted to study in a foreign country again. I knew about WWoof because there was a foreigner who came to the dairy farm where I worked part-time using the WWoof system. If there is a dairy farm that is involved in pasture-based farming, organic farming, or animal welfare, I would like to go there. I would like to start my own grazing dairy farm in the future, so I would like to learn more about setting up a new dairy farm, dairy management, pasture management, etc. in Australia. I would like to experience Australian agriculture and international cultural exchange with my host family and other WWoofer in WWoof.

Our 100ac farm is situated on Deep Creek in the Macedon Ranges, about 1 hour outside Melbourne. We run livestock and grow vegetables for our own use. Animals include cows, alpacas, sheep, chickens, goats, dogs and a pig. There are two of us living on this property, entirely off the grid.

I want to discover and develop new skills to start my professional life in Australia. Farms are also great places to meet Australians and people from all over the world and from different cultures.
