Does anyone have any personal experience with WWOOF? How was it?

1 Answer

Answer :

2 of my closest friends just spent 3 months traveling around the US using WWOOF. They had an awesome time for the most part but they did have a few farms that were kind of shitty and didn’t treat them all that well as far as food and such went even though they were working all day every day. Though with everything of course there’s always a few bad grapes in the bunch. Overall I’d say it seems like a really neat experience and you should do it.
