I'm struggling through my master degree, getting it done to have at least one diploma that has some value in my field. After watching your video and some others on the wwoofing topic, I really want to give it a try in like 1.5y after I graduate. I did an exchabge year in Japan so going back there for 6mth st least would be awesome, aswell as wwoofing in Australia for 6mth at least. Thanks a lot for your input!! ❤️

Still jump to high heaven when I see the occasional snake though. I also see soooo many bee, wasp, hornet species etc. and learned so much about them. I don't grow huge gardens anymore but love growing and gardening so much. Now my kids are grown and moved away. I look forward to trying WWOOF. :0)

    I felt so much light from this video and from your experiences. Thank you so much for sharing this (: Hawaii is where I'd like to start the journey of this. Finding a personal recommendation of a farm would be ideal for me. With being a very passionate vegan, organic fruit farms and being surrounded by work that supports my ethics would be something so refreshingly new and in alignment with my journey to experience. I've yet to travel alone and the idea is so liberating and fulfilling. And not in the sense of just going somewhere to experience the energy, land and culture, but to also be productive and make a positive influence as well by contributing. Money isn't the only form of currency, and woofing really emphasizes that. We all can be a community and sustain together to create an experience unmatched by money. I live very minimal already, and once you decide that owning things isn't appealing and fullfing to you anymore, money starts to loose its demand and appeal as a measure to possibilities

    I love your additude gGadget! You are right, travelling alone is probably the most free one could feel. I really enjoyed my time with minimal possessions, operating via energy exchange, I somehow felt a deeper intimacy with my community. Being a raw vegan I too had my preferences as to what an ideal farm would be. I knew for sure that I didn't want one with animals. I was looking for one that I'd be able to eat solely off the land, however wasn't able to find it, and as you heard me mention, it all worked out. The companionship, the land and the accommodations easily made up for that. It sounds like contribution is important to you. I hope that you can find a spot that will appreciate the purity of your intentions. I trust you will align with what is right for you. You have a beautiful outlook! I too feel your light😌✨

    First time in This channel and i have to say this is incredibly helpful. I 've thinking of going abroad and i had some questions that you have answered on this video. This encourages me to keep saving up money. Last thing, i'd like to know where you are from, because i am also interested in going to a country where i am forced to communicate in english so i could brush up on my english skills. Thanks for sharing this!

    Something that concerned about is how to deal with my current housing. While you’re gone, do you leave your rent paid? Do you legitimately move out while your gone and then find a new place when you go home? What about whatever job you may have back home? I currently work and am in college so I’m not sure I would even have the time to do this. What do you think, kat ?

  • @katgreenvideo

    @katgreenvideo

    6 жыл бұрын

    Good question. That’s really going to depend on your personal situation. Perhaps now is not the best time for you. Maybe consider Wwoofing for your next summer vacation or for after you have graduated. Alternatively, consider doing it for a short time, like two weeks - That way you can maintain your job and housing. You may want to sublet your place while you are gone, or if it’s for a longer period of travel, maybe moving your things into storage (or a friend’s house) and finding a new place upon return would better suit you. I have another video on travel that may help answer some of your questions👉🏼 kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y5WOxKeFppSdg5M.html

    Hey Kat, loved this video. Thanks for sharing all that information. I have been seriously planning on wwoofing next year and I had one question though. Honestly, do you even get to travel and explore other parts of the country you're visiting or do you just work on the farm all day? Because I am interested in exploring and travelling as much as I am interested in learning about organic farming so I would like to do both and not just be engaged in farm work all day.

  • @katgreenvideo

    +Samyuktaa Chawla Hi Samyuktaa, great question. I have to say that every farm is different in that regard. One place that I was at was 7am-noon, Monday to Friday and another place was 8am-3pm Monday to Friday for example. A third place I was at was only 20hours a week, but they didn't provide food. Some farms will allow you to work intensely for a bit and then have a week off. Asking about the hours per week and their willingness to accommodate your desires is something to inquire about with each farm manager during the application process.

    I only speak English!🙊 Nowadays you might be able to get away with it seeing how predominant English is and how many translation apps there are. But, I will say, it can be seen as pretty disrespectful to wander into a country and expect the locals to accommodate you. Taking some time to learn about the culture and language beforehand will go a long way.
