Why WWOOF?

WWOOF? What is that?
It surely sounds like dog's bark..hahhah.
WWOOF stands for Willing workers of organic farm.
Organic farmers all around the world get connected through this organization.
Not only they plant the crops naturally but in exchange of 4-6 hours of work; the WWOOFers (travelers who registered under this program) able to learn natural, organic plantation, given free accommodation and food. Not to forget it's a full stream of cultural exchange.

What do I achieve from WWOOFing?

Slow travel — I take my time to enjoy the places I visit, make some very close friends in the process.

Cultural exchange - learn the culture from the real people, which is the natives. These people are so laid back and unpretentious.

Organic food and healthy lifestyle - most of the hosts resides in the villages. ·You get to experience a wonderful organic farming lifestyle. Not only it's peaceful but you could eat delicious home-cooked meals — no MSG and artificial stuff.

Budget travel - You just need to pay a 1 year membership around USD40 - 50· Ka-ching!! Haha..You save a lot. Your budget mostly is from transportation or if you splurge a bit.

The downside of it - you sweat, get dirty, some backpain if you are not used to this kind of job but you learn new knowledge and gain precious experiences.
