Wwoofing is international.There are hosts and volunteers.Hosts have an organic farm and look for volunteers to come and work.Volunteers work on these farms in exchange for room and board. No monies are exchanged and you are responsible for your transport there and back.You buy your own ticket and live and work on the farm for whatever time you and the individual farmer agree on.Many volunteers go to different countries every year and some volunteer back to back and farm to farm country to country.It is not a permanent residency program.It is good for people who have little money but want to travel.Citizenship is a long process and its really not all its cracked up to be, actually doing something like wwoofing gives you a feel for the country before you make and drastic moves.Australia also has a welcoming work program through teh government where you can get a visa for a year ratehr simply, they need workers.

Hi Island Mama, I didn't understand everything but the program you mentioned sounds like a great plan.
What you call wwoof is a program which exist in France? And they can send me to the US as a volunteer?
But is this allows me to stay for years in America? Cause if this is not considered as a job, my european passport allows me to stay only 3 months and then I have to go back.
I'll try to get informations on the web.
Thanks for the tip !

Awesome! It is an amazing program. Research the heck out of the farms you (or your friend) apply to and get in touch with other wwoofers...

This is cool! Good info Island Mamma! I have a friend here in Vegas itching to travel but wants to make it worth something and not just travel for the sake of travel (He's applied for study abroad with university and a few teaching programs though his degree is in history) this will be a cool experience he can look into also, even if for a little travel.

Hey natty Ben, not sure if it's been mentioned yet (i haven't time to read all responses)but a great way to travel the world is through wwoofing (yes two w's). ( world wide opportunities in organic farming)

You sign up, pay your fee, about 20-60 depending on your local, and apply to different organic farms wherever you are interested in travelling to and volunteer a set amount of hours per week, usually part time hours for your room and board. You can go pretty much anywhere, Canada, US, Hawaii, Mexico, Italy etc.

Its a very interesting way to travel and you gain eco friendly perma culture education. Tip don't tell borders you are wwoofing, you are a traveler is all. It is not illegal but many (especially US) border guys have hatred toward foreign workers, even though you are volunteering, they see it as job robbing.
