WWOOF Volunteer Travel

WWOOF Volunteer Travel.

We are a team of passionate individuals who believe in the transformative power of travel. We know that getting out of our comfort zones and immersing ourselves in new cultures can change our perspectives, broaden our horizons, and help us grow as human beings.

As volunteer WWOOFers, we have had the opportunity to do just that. We have worked on organic farms across the globe, learning about sustainable agriculture and living closely with locals. We have formed deep connections with people from all walks of life and gained a greater appreciation for the beauty and diversity of this world.

But more than that, we have experienced a sense of purpose and fulfillment that comes from giving back to communities in need.

11 Things to Know Before You WWOOF – WWOOFer Volunteer Learn on Organic Farms

After volunteering for five days on small farm– complete with ultra fresh meals and a bit of farming work in a picture perfect setting — I’ve learned a good bit about WWOOFing (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms). In retrospect, there are a few things I wish I would have known before going. You Don’t Have to Work Long Hours Because some farms don’t need all the volunteers they have at one time, or if you are paying for part of your stay, you don’t necessarily have to work long 8+ hour farming days…. Your answer, be it “I spent all my money and need to live for free until my plane ticket home” or “I want to know how to garden” or “I want a different experience” should help you figure out what type of farm you want and how long you want to stay.

We took a public bus from nearby El Bolson to the tiny town of El Hoyo, then taxied out to Chacra Millalen, a small organic farm in Patagonia, Argentina where we’d spend the next 4 days volunteering.

…It’s also possible to bring a tent and camp on the land, but we don’t have a tent with us. Then Josephine showed us the three showers and encouraged us to use one of the two that was heated by wood-burning stoves (instead of gas).
