“WWOOF?… What is that?”

Well, it stands for World-Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms… or something like that. The exact meaning of the acronym has changed since the organization began in 1971. I’ll leave the history to the experts at www.WWOOF.org. I’ll just say that is a fun, educational, and inexpensive way to see the world. You can travel abroad, or stay in your own country and explore the places you always wanted to visit. You pay for your travel expenses, and your room and board is covered by the host family with whom you’re staying. You just have to put in a few hours of work on the hosts’ farm each day. Sometimes it isn’t even a farm… it might be a bed and breakfast, or a nature preserve, or a wellness clinic… there are many options out there. If you’re reading this, then there are WWOOF hosts near you looking for your help! But again, you can visit www.WWOOF.org for more information on that.
