Are you looking for a different kind of travel experience and don’t mind getting a little dirty? Does picking olives in Portugal, preserving native flora and fauna in Panama, or planting herbs in Norway sound appealing to you? If so, you might consider becoming a “wwoofer” when planning your next trip. WWOOF (World-Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms) is an organization that connects farm hosts and willing volunteers all over the world.
Check out their website, where you can sign up as a member, link to different countries’ WWOOF websites, and order lists of host farms. As a wwoofer, you’re sure to get a taste of country life, learn about organic farming methods, and find a new purpose for your travels.
