go organic! go wwoof'ing!

Sick of tour holidays that make you wake up at ungodly hours and rush you through tourist sites when you want to take a longer, closer look? Have too many handbags from shopping trips and a closet full of souvenir t-shirts? Then take a meaningful trip with WWOOF and learn about organic farming, country living and ecologically sound lifestyles. It might just be the holiday for you.

WWOOF stands for World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms. It is an organization that helps to link people up with organic farms around the world to share sustainable ways of living. The farms offer food, accommodation and opportunities to learn about organic lifestyles in exchange for volunteer work. You can choose the region you want to go to and browse through the list of farms looking for help as well as get help and advice from fellow WWOOFers if you have not done this before.
