anyone ever been through the WWOOF program? seems like the least expensive way to travel and it'd be cool to get integrated with an agreeable host family.

looking to hear some personal experiences if anyones got any. thanks.

my sister just left to Europe with her boy friend 1 week ago doing WWOOFing for 9 months, she has 600 bucks and hasn't really needed to use much of it yet. she currently just got situated on a farm working 5 days a week on a very nice hobbit looking like town somewhere in southern england and will be wwoofing all over Europe, i'm not exactly sure how well this system will work out but so far it has been working great. hope that helped, i'm not to much of an expert on it

One of my friends went to Japan, WWOOFing this summer. He's going to Colorado on the same program next year, for longer. Enough said.

i worked on a farm this summer and a couple of the kids i worked with had just come back from WWOOF trips. they only had great things to say about it, and both got set up with super cool people all along the way. they did say, however, that they knew people that had bad hosts. so it's not all great out there, but sounds like its worth the risk. if you're interested in it, go for it.

south america or southeast asia.


and to the others, did your sister bring 600 for her entire 9 months there? and to the other dude do you know if the language barrier was a big issue in japan?

thanks for all the help and personal stories.

I just realized your the OPer so what you said makes sense, What I was trying to get across was that I wouldn't trust people enough to live with them, I understand 99.99% are honest people but you know.....
