Help tell the #wwoof story

May 18, 2019

Mike Hammer, who manages most of our social media presence, writes: Social media are powerful tools which can be a force for good or bad. I feel that we all have the opportunity to take part in producing significant news stories which can and will contribute to the healing of our planet. These media are full of stories because we love a story and each of us has our own story to tell. I believe that WWOOFing encounters are brimming full of meaningful life lessons, hope, kindness, creativity and heart connection.

Many of us are using Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram, so please share a post, RT a Tweet or better still create a post or video yourself and tag @WWOOFUK. By using #WWOOFUK, #WWOOF or #WWOOFing in your content you will give others the chance to learn about WWOOF from you or perhaps build confidence to take the first step.

I love it when I discover a blog by hosts recording the story of their land and its visitors, or a blog by a WWOOFer(s) who is recording their adventure. Both are ways in which I can spread the message about WWOOFing.

So please explore our social media and share the good news with others. Together we can make a difference. We are all influencers (no matter how many ‘followers’ or ‘likes’ we have). Be the change.

BOO! And other lessons on the unexpected

BOO! And other lessons on the unexpected

By Julia Taliesin “So, what made you decide to do this?” Is a common question I get when I tell people about WWOOFing (and something I ask my fellow WWOOFers). For me, it was a breakup and job loss that happened one after the other almost a year ago. Talk about a jump...
