🐛 How to be an awesome WWOOFer 🦋 a reshare thanks to @wwoofnorway 💌 🐐 Know yourself! What are your expectations and what are your limits? 🌱 Get to know the culture of the region you intend to visit! People from a diverse geographical area and cultural background might have customs and traditions different from yours. 🦆 Share your travel plans and contact possibilities with your family or friends. 🧄 Have medical and travel insurance in case of unexpected illness or injury. ⛺️ Organize a backup plan and be sure to have some extra money for any unforeseen events. 🥬 Good communication is key and it starts before the visit. Schedule a video or phone call with your hosts before confirming a visit to get to know them. Ask lots of questions! How many people will be on site? It is important that you feel comfortable with being alone with your host if you decide to visit a farm run by only one person. What are the accommodation conditions (i.e. single or shared room)? What will be the activities? What is the daily routine? What are the meals like? What type of clothing should you bring? 🐄 Share with hosts if you have any specific needs or goals. 🥕 When you arrive at the farm, give yourself time to adapt! 🐞 Show interest in the farm and your host. 🐭 Ask lots of questions an be eager to learn everything about ecological farming. 🌼 If you have a concern about your safety or well being, talk to someone – if it’s appropriate, talk to your host, other WWOOFers or another person on site about your concern. Cultural differences can lead to misunderstandings. Verbalizing your problems can help you solve them. 🌳 Remember that you can contact the national WWOOF organization for assistance any time. We’re here to listen to you and discuss your concerns in complete confidentiality. We can give you advice or have a mediation role. 🍎 If you feel unsafe, stop the stay – you are under no obligation to continue WWOOFing. 🐼 In an emergency – contact the police. 🎉 And last but not least – have fun, you will have the best time of your life! #wwoof #wwoofer #wwoofing #wwoofnorway
