World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms

After studying sustainability and environmentalism, I wanted to get my hands dirty.

I also had a travel bug to quell.
WWOOF links volunteers with organic farms and growers. I found a WWOOF opportunity at a yoga center and holistic community called Sunshine House in Evia, Greece!  I helped cook, clean, and tend to the farm for over a month. I learned new skills and sustainable living practices, like waste reduction and resource efficiency. I also met some of the most insightful people I have ever known, from many different corners of Europe and the United States.  I left Greece as their economic crisis began appearing in the media, and saw firsthand how important farm communities are to the local economy and quality of life. It was an eye-opening and invaluable experience.
