WWOOF – World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms – is an organization that gives travelers the opportunity to travel abroad and volunteer in exchange for food and accommodation. While the hosts generally expect 4-6 hours of volunteer work in exchange for food and a room, this can be a great opportunity for those that want something other than a typical tourist experience.
In addition to the benefits that the host receives from the extra hands, the WWOOFers also benefit from experiencing daily life in the location of their choice, while also meeting and networking with other like-minded WWOOFers along the way.
