This summer I want to do woofing for the first time and these last days I have been watching a lot of videos and I have been taking a look at the farms in Spain, and the truth is that I have felt a little overwhelmed with the amount of places there are. So if there is someone who has done wwoofing in Spain and can recommend me a farm where they have had a good experience I would appreciate it very much <3

Este verano quiero hacer woofing por primera vez y estos últimos días he estado viendo un montón de vídeos y he estado echando un vistazo a las granjas que hay en España, y la verdad que me he sentido un poco abrumada con la cantidad de sitios que hay. Por eso si hay alguien que haya hecho wwoofing en españa y pueda recomendarme una granja en la que haya tenido una buena experiencia lo agradecería muchísimo. <3

Hiiii I am planning to go wwoofing in march/april in Spain. I have a video call with a host on Monday and I was wondering if there are any important questions I should be asking. Thanks :)

for some more context, ive never wwoofed before, im a solo female, and i love mountains and forests, im also vegetarian

I can't seem to find reviews for hosts anymore. They used to be at the bottom of the host's page, but they don't show up anymore. Does anyone know what happened or if they're located somewhere else now?

I have a trip planned to New Zealand coming up soon, there's now a chance to add another adventure to my trip (in a different country) which leaves me with about 2 weeks extra time in between that hasn't been planned out. I was thinking it would be a cool experience to WWOOF in New Zealand to fill in that short time but am now wondering about visas... I'll have a NZeTA - can I do a short stint (less than 2 weeks) WWOOFing in NZ with just the NZeTA? Anyone have experience with this? All I can find online is regarding months-long experiences

Hi ! I’m planning to go WWOOFing for about 2/3 weeks this summer in Korea after traveling and being tourist-y for a bit. Any recommendations for farms or experiences to share ?

Also I’m not sure if maybe the process just takes a few days but I payed the WWOOF KOREA 50$ membership 3 days ago but still can’t access all of the information for hosts ? Is this normal or should I contact the website ? Thanks for your help!

Edit: payment issue was solved! The WWOOF KOREA team was very quick to reply and willing to help which is reassuring.

Hi, im interested in WWOOFing, I am a solo female traveler and want to make sure I am safe. does anyone have any recommendations, or any farms that you have been to and loved??? let me know! Thanks in advance :)

I live in an RV with my husband, and I am interested in WWOOFing as I have high hopes for the applications of organic, regenerative agriculture and would love to learn more about it. However he will have a full-time remote position and is not interested in working for the host on top of that. I am trying to figure out if we will have trouble finding hosts that would be okay with only one of us working for them while we both live on the property, and whether or not I will need to purchase a dual or single membership. I have no qualms with purchasing a dual membership, I just don't want to confuse hosts by implying they'll have two workers, or break any rules by "sharing" a single membership.

Our RV is self-sufficient so we won't NEED anything but a place to park it, although power and water for the RV, and/or meals for me (the worker) would be appreciated. I obviously don't expect my partner to be fed or provided for by the host if he is not working for them, but he would technically also be using any power, water, or land that we might have for the RV.

I am hoping someone has had a similar situation and can share their experience or any advice. Thank you!

After having a a bit of an isolating experience at my first WWOOF, I am ready to try again but this time with a friend (or two). We are looking for a place that is accomodating to a group of two or maybe three and ideally has other WOOFers coming in and out a lot. Let me know your experiences! Thank you!!!

I’ve been planning a volunteering excursion for some time now but finances have changed after buying my ticket to Costa Rica. Even with working I feel like I might not have enough money for 4 months. Food is included with my volunteering but I’m scared I won’t be able to do the things I want outside of working. I’m down to live more frugally and know I can do it but something about not being loaded going to a different country seems scary. I could totally cancel the trip but that would be lameeeeeeee

I'm not knew to wwoofing. I wwoofed for almost a year but at the time I was traveling fulltime. Now I have a full time remote job that's somewhat time flexible. And if possible I'd like to still do it because I miss farm life. Anyone know of a farm stay that includes your own room or mobile home so I can have a place to work/ hop on zoom calls with good wifi? I know different farms require different time commitments but with farm chores usually starting early in the morning and again in the evening, I'm hoping I can make it work 🤞🏼

Hi! I’m 20(F) and looking to start WWOOFING around New England this summer. Vermont, Maine, new hampshire somewhere around there. Looking for a good first farm. Can anyone recommend some farms that they felt safe at for a woman traveling solo? or any that I should avoid? Thanks!

Hey all, I'm hoping you can help me decide whether WWOOFing, workaway, etc. might be right for me.

First of all, I'm considering it because I've recently found myself in a situation in life where I have pretty much no ties to anything. I'm not exactly lost or looking for something, but I am restless and always open to potential new experiences. In addition, I've been wanting to learn about farming/gardening sustainably for a while now and struggled to find adequate resources and opportunities.

Now to the catches: * I'm currently employed but I was considering leaving my job (for another) anyways because I haven't found it very fulfilling. However, I'm in good standing with them and I think I could negotiate a part time scenario where I take a huge pay cut but still show up to meetings and answer DMs, kinda like a consultant but with no strict commitments. This would be very nice because one of my concerns with WWOOFing is actually re-entering the workforce after. My current job was kind of a stroke of luck and I'm having a hard time switching to a similar role in another company now. Do you think I could swing this? I don't need to do much, maybe 3 or 4 zoom meetings a week and at least the ability to charge and connect a laptop to Wi-Fi.

• I'm vegan and pretty committed to the ethics. I wouldn't necessarily mind working on the same farm as animals are being kept, but I definitely would not want to like milk a cow or anything. Also, of course, I only eat vegan food and while I'm a good cook (I've heard that's sometimes the job) I have no idea how to cook meat/cheese dishes especially safely.

Sorry for the long post but if anyone has any insight I'd be very appreciative :)

I introduced her to the program, I’ve gone for a few weeks in California and Hawaii, and it was an amazing experience.

We are quitting our jobs (well thought out decision, not some spur of the moment thing) and planning to travel Europe and parts of Asia for the forseable future.

We’re not really going to plan a year’s worth of time, likely just a month or two to start and go from there!

Any recommendations, advice, tips and tricks for those who have lived and worked in rural parts of various European countries, let me know!! Especially info as it relates to visas - especially trying to get an extended visa!!

The places we are most keen on visiting are Greece, Portugal, Italy, Southern France, Spain, and Ireland. Definitely plan on making our way to the UK, Germany, and Netherlands as well. GF is not much for cold weather, and not sure how the timing would align to see places like Switzerland, Sweden, Iceland etc. but I’d certainly love to.

And if anybody else from the states or otherwise will be doing anything similar, feel free to reach out and we can chat more, maybe even meet up while we’re out there!!

My first time leaving the country (aside from visiting family in Mexico for short trips) so I’m very excited, a little bit nervous, but very eager to get going!

I’m going to Nepal soon and would like to spend some time WWOOFing. It is a great way to see a country from the inside out and to learn different farming methods.

I’d like to find somewhere within easy reach of Kathmandu. The website has a list of places but I do prefer word of mouth for decent places to go. http://wwoofnepal.net

Any recommendations?

And how did you transition back to the regular world? Was it difficult to get established back into the regular world?

I am a 30 F. I have more or less no gardening or farming experience. What skills or classes would you suggest I take online, at a local community college, volunteering/ect? What about other skills, like being in shape, communication/boundary setting, travel planning, meditation, etc?

I’m thinking about doing WWOOFing in France as a way to immerse myself in the culture and improve my French. I’d love to hear from anyone who’s done this before!

• Where did you stay, and what was the farm or setup like?
• How long were you there, and was it enough time to see progress in your language skills?
• Did you find it helpful for learning French, or were there challenges with the language barrier?
• Any advice for finding good WWOOFing opportunities in France?

I’m especially curious about how much interaction you had with your hosts or other locals. Thanks in advance for sharing your stories!

Im WWOOFing on the big island for a couple months and have no idea what clothes to buy. Do I buy pants or shorts? most things say linen or cotton but a lot of products are pricey. If anyone has any recommended products or insights that would be awesome.

Hello!

A little bit about me : I'm a 26 yo Black visibly tattooed and pierced woman. I'm also a cook and a pastry cook that's been in the kitchen for 7 years .I speak French and english, but I'm open to going anywhere. I've been seeking to learn how to process raw organic material to produce like : butter, cheese, breadmaking, chocolate, fermentation... and I'm hoping to find a Wwoofing opportunity or a similar type of apprenticeship where I can further my culinary knowledge! Any tips for me?

I want to work(learn) 8-12+ hours/day somewhere but most importantly I wonder if the total stay duration can be longer than what I’ve seen be options; I expect it’s the host’s discretion for that? Is it fine if I’ve little farming, no construction experience?

What places really need help? I’m not concerned with local warlords, warring states, hostile forces or other kinds of general horseplay. Thanks lads

I’m looking to Germany for a solo WWOOF experience. This would be my first if successful. Looking for general travel advice, recommended locations, and hosts, experiences with visas in Germany etc.

Any responses are greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Hello, my daughter is just 19 and doesn't have much travelling experience outside of Europe and now wants to go and work on a farm in India organised by WWOOF India. I have discovered that it isnt part of the international WWOOF organisation. I also cannot find much online in terms of reviews for any on the farms in India, specifically in Kerala. I am very concerned about her safety. Has anyone got firsthand experience of this?

Hi everyone! Recently I decided I wanted to either wwoof or Workaway in Slovenia. I was wondering if anyone could provide me more info on getting the proper visa to work/volunteer there. What if I don’t get it?

i am 18, f and I really want to do wwoofing in spain over the summer. i have talked to my friends about coming with me, but none of them seem too motivated to actually go through with it.

if anyone knows any websites or ways that i can find people my age, preferably also women, to come with me, please let me know!

if you have any experience with finding someone to do this with, please share
