The quarter life crisis hitting me right now.

I started working on a WOOFF farm a few years ago and stayed for a full year, became the manager and loved the experience right up till the end. Your video definitely touched on a few key points that I want to elaborate on and a few additional recommendations based on my experience and that also, of the many other WOOfers I grew to know and love. 1 back up plan for sure, 2 extra cash stash, 3 highly recommend find a friend and don't travel alone, 4 set clear boundaries for your personal space and communicate responsibly, 5 show up early and be accountable to your host. 6 Always go where singing is encouraged. 7 totally agree with Holli, ask alot of questions upfront. Where you sleep, food provided, shower, toilet, animals there, pets allowed or not, hours of work required, type of work, instruction on work, tools provided to work. Additionally bring your own work gloves and like 10 bandannas, hiking/work boots, Chaco sandals. Have fun, be kind, be safe.

College is overrated.. Live your life without someone telling you how..

At WWOOF we try and make sure there's an educational element to any exchange, because we're all about supporting organic / agro-ecological hosts whilst helping the next generation (whatever age) of land workers and Earth carers to see first-hand what makes a healthy planet. And hopefully everyone gets to have some fun along the way :)

I love these channels that show people just going for it. It’s one thing when people encourage you to do your own thing but to see people doing it makes me think damn..I might just do this and like..be adventurous 😮

I never used WWOOF but omg I ADORED my workaway experiences! I was backpacking through Scandinavia with the help of workaway and up to now, I have only made incredibly great experiences! I nearly didnt need any money and because you dont have to work as much as with other organisations, I still had more than enough time to explore the countries. But the nicest thing is that you autimatically meet locals that can show you around and teach you about their culture. I made friends all over Scandinavia

I love being unconventional. Living the typical life of work, marriage, kids... Isn't for me, And I'm loving life. 👍

25 hour work week sounds incredible

Omg I'm also 26! The quarter life crisis hit me hard last year, but now I'm over it. I'm pretty laid back and don't compare myself to others, but last year I guess I got upset about not having any of the things you've "supposed" to have at age 25: a house, a job, a boyfriend. Now I'm just chilling, doing my own thing, and think that timeline is total BS. As long as I stay busy, cherish the people and the things I do have around me, and know what I want to focus on and grow, I'm good. So from now on when my birthday comes around I don't really care who is there to celebrate it with me, I just ask for a mix drink or a cocktail and I'm happy😊

Thank YOU! Your answers have really informative to me who is just learning about WWOOF & WorkAway. I liked your genuineness and you not glossing over the situations be it good or less of an ideal. Wishing you all the best to your next endeavors!

THIS WAS SO HELPFUL !!!!! Thank you! You answered all of my questions.

You're seeming so much happier after your move. Wishing you all the best on Oahu & your new adventures! (PS: hope your elbow is getting better)

I found your answers (and yourself) pretty honest and straightforward, which I believe are really great skills in life (better than simply having a degree), so keep it up! 💪💪

Greetings holli and huckleberries, I appreciate the info shared in this video, I am from MN also and did farm tours thru Wwoof on the big island 2016, I started on a farm in captain cook area and ended up going all over the whole mountain within 6 months, things were very challenging and rough at times, but the experience changed my life for the better and I now have a son because of this adventure... Hawaii is a beautiful place...

OMG I LOVE your attitude to life!! Who cares what you do and where you go next in life!

You’re so awesome and this video helped me a lot! Thanks ❤️

You look so happy!! I hope Oahu is awesome!

Bring your own bedding. I suggest a Japanese futon mat. It rolls up. You can hang it to beat out dust and have the sun sanitize it

Thanks for the great info. Best of luck with your new digs. I love both city and country living. I need to clone myself.

You got it right...there is NOT a thing wrong with NOT going to college for a bachelors degree. Thank you for pointing that out to your audience.

Go Holly! New Adventure has begun💖👑💃💪🏻🎂

This video is really relatable! We have been doing workaway for the past two months 😄

Thanks for the video. Enjoy Honolulu and enjoy the beauty. I think it's awesome that you're adventuring and living your life in a more free-spirited manner

Lovely to meet you. This is an older video but has given me much insight into perspectives from the WorkAway’ers points of view. Makes me feel more confident now that I can successfully host Workaway’ers here in the future. Thank you so much for taking the time!!❤

I love this! I myself am moving to Oahu- starting off as a workaway. Makes me feel better someone is already doing it!

Thank you....for wat its worth i think Your awesome...best wishes.

We're the same..i love being unconventional too. I desire to explore the world of farming...Damn why did i know this so late. I didn't know this kind of organization exist. It was just introduced by my student. So thankful of him. I thought "Woofing" sounds like a weird vocabulary, it turns out it's an organization. Oh this is embarrassing at the same time i feel so grateful i came to know WWOOF!!!😍

🌸💕🌴 LOVED this!! Thank you!!

Great thoughts!!

Your awesome!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

Your background is so beautiful 😍

LOOOOVEE your vibes

Helpful video and you are a very pretty girl. Asking questions to hosts is very important. The whole idea of WWOOF is WORKING and I don't think folks should expect CLUB MED.

Thank you for this video! I too have been outside the norm my entire life..I have def. done it my way. I was in a bad Harley accident 5 years ago and have dealt with losing my brick and mortar business and being homeless. I am new to the workaway idea...but I'm planning on buying land and become a host. I agree with the control of your life. I gauge success by the amount of freedom and control I have of my own life.

6:50 so important to tell about. Thanks realy helpful!

Love your Videos about your Adventures and lifestyle in Hawaii hope to be relocating by the end of the Year, Beautiful home, cuious of the area you are in and the cost of renting/ purchasing housing on the Big Island ir in Oahu

you should be 29 soon. I just turned 29 last week, starting to feel like I need a major change in my life.. getting out woofing may be good for me.

I moved to France and I need a job yesterday! I want to stay but my year is almost up ....my parents said come back and we will help you for a month or two. I was considering doing WWoof'ing in Europe however I have a dog. I do KZfaq and Instagram videos but I definitely need some time to figure things out. I feel you on that, not wanting to share minute updates. I'm at least a décade older than you but feel the same way and trust me that college degree I have didn't help don't feel any kinda way for not having one!! Give us an update how's apartment life, work? Okay I'll be watching more videos about Wwoof and work away! Thanks

You inspire me

Dude I like ur vibe, thanks for the insight.

Great video! Thanks for sharing this!

I came here because I wanted to understand WWOOFing but I loved the motivational words even more.

Hey, so first of all I really liked the video and you seem really nice. How long do you have a "workaway job" or how often do you change it?

Your awesome !!! living unconventional life is great !!!!!!

Thank You

I just love this channel, you've got a really shiny, optimistic flair. Do you know anything about WWOOFing/Workaway in Europe or South America? Have you ever considered going yourself, and, if not, why? I'm planning on WWOOFing, although, with the virus the way it is, I'm wondering about the wisdom in that. My main reason for going is learning a different language- I'm torn between going to South America, to learn Spanish, and going to Europe, where I'd likely end up in Poland or, even Czech Republic. I've had tons of fulfilling times in the military (even though it wasn't my scene), finance industry, living with the same groovy gang of friends, being a good ole basic Barista at Starbucks, even hard electrician work. I really love it here, especially this little-big city of Pensacola. A major reason I'm doing this is because I want out of America for a while; I'm ready to wisely wander on a bigger scale. It feels like America is harsh on anyone who doesn't have college or who doesn't work at a bank or office. I'm a 28 year old guy, and it just feels like there's nothing for me here, and that, at the end of the day, I'm not really valued as a worker or member of society. I figure having a language and (even more) practical skills could help me, and maybe pave the way for becoming a US diplomat. And I won't lie, I'm lowkey jaded over dating in the American South.

very interesting ☺️☺️

Thank you for your wonderful videos. How much money do you need a month while on workaway?

m new to ur channel, its after almost 2 years but.. i must say, u have the most glorious smile on earth, and there is something about ur eys and tooth... can't get my eyes of u. hope to meet u someday

I met a girl who brought her dog to Koh Phangan in Thailand. I was volunteering there when she got there

Your inspiring hope to meet you one day in Hawaii or Europe!!!!

My daughter is graduating and wants to do this and i am a worrier mama bear. 😞 but i dont want to stop her from experiencing it and know i cant. 😊 how safe is this or what would you recommend for her to do to prepare? Thank you

Its never too late to study. I actually regret that i went to study after high school.

Woofing is working - working - on a farm, NOT vacationing (4:50).

Thanks

very nice independent character, and great looking :)

Im very interested in this

I remember watching one your videos a while ago and you said that we have to look for "wwoofing hawaii" and not "wwoofing usa" if we want to find good farms in Hawaii but I am not able to find the woofing hawaii website. Did they somehow merge into one single website? I'm thinking of doing it in Hawaii and I really want to make sure to find the best farms. Thank you for making such inspiring videos!!

How do you get an apartment out of nowhere? Like where do you start actually?

Anyone have a genuine life changing experience in a work away project?

is it better to just purchase the right land first and then building a smaller property. Whats good to know before coming, buying a farm

Did you go to Iceland by WWOOF orWorkAway?

I have two duaghters 3 and 4 and yeah long story short wife took of left us with nothing I love to organically farm would I be able to bring them im 27 wanting fresh start but wanting to travel

workaway helped me retire. love this!

At my time we just have the kibbutz in Israel, Jo Internet, no information. But I am still travelling. If I am 56 years old, can I still find a Wwoof job?

I would love to join you ,I am retired from military has substaining income and looking to come to the island soon but have no idea where to start ,

I know this sounds dumb. But can you go on your phone or is that looked down upon

You are my soulmate, your inner beauty truly radiates out

What area of the big island did you do your workaway at? I was over in Pahoa and got kicked out on the street just because of a small miscommunication. I was told that's normal for that area of Hawaii 😣 is it more safe in other areas?

Wtf i've wwoofed here portugal and i worked always 6 hours a day 6 days a week...how much you guys work?

How do I get this experience. Please help me.

hello i’m fucking in love with your hair

Unconventional 🙌🏻 do what you desire, why blend with the herd

How money it cost traveling by workaway , if the host family provide room and food only , can please give the average

Wow, I know exactly where that is. Manoa right lol

Do hosts give invitations for visa processing and maybe plne tickets

Not allowed to sing? ...oh, that's bad... Thanks for this video- my dad passed away on the Big Island. Best, *A.

I WWOOF in Ga an a lot of places will offer you paid jobs working farmers markets.

Hi Holli. Would you consider woofing in China ? My friend parents have a farm and they really need help because they are old and no one is helping them. I was there last month and really enjoyed the laid back lifestyle there. Do get in touch if you wanna know more. Cheers.

I am 34. I've been wanting to do WWOOF since I was 16, and I'm finally in a position where I can financially swing it. Would you think that's too old?

Do you know how to travel and live cheaply in countries such as Saudi Arabia, Liberia, the central african republic, Togo or Afghanistan (because there i cannot find workaway, wwoof or even couchsurfing)

I m now planning ,to start my travel journey ,startin off with workaways ,heyii just wanted to tell you that at the very beginning of the video I knew your age maybe it was just a guess ..anyway I would be glad to connect with you and share and under the travel journey coming ahead of me ...lemme know if interested......m too late to see this video from the time you posted it ,maybe you are in a different phase of life now but ya ,can't talk everything here , haven't seen any of your other videos... anyway cheers...tc

I like your videos! You are funny. Any available job for this brazilian girl here? xD

Do woofing farms have an age limit for the people they accept. I'm 36 but I'm still a mother if a 14 year old. So unless I get lucky I will be 40 before I am able to do it.

Did you do wwoofing in India?

I have a situation in that I am planning to move to Hawaii later this spring. I'm considering reaching out to WWOOF hosts. I am also a relocation astrologer in the early stages of developing a practice. It seems like working 25h/week (with the utmost commitment during these 25 hours) might enable me to develop my practice further. I'll be frank in that Hawaii in many respects should be a more favorable location than where I live now, especially as pertains to my work ethic and improvement of attitude. I am used to living in an arid climate (Denver rarely gets dewpoints above 50). How do you deal with the humidity? I was even looking at Kona on the west side of the Big Island, which is supposed to get only 15 in of rain a year, and it seems that dewpoints there are commonly in the upper 60s. Do the breezes help? I am also autistic (AS). I own a cat. I have a stash of money, though it would have been better had I left for Hawaii a year ago. I am 51, don't look my age, and work out (aerobic -- elliptical right now, I used to jog) regularly. I'm a 'late bloomer'.

I want some ideas woofing work

Am fire fighter could you please help me to get a workway like you did I like your experience so much 😍

Have an organic farm in the scenic western Ghats (india )planning to be a host & start excepting wwoofers, would be great to have u as my first wwoofer😊

What if they have a hidden toilet cam?

Please tell me you weren't complaining about not being able to talk on the phone while working!

My question is do we (workers) have to pay for our plane tickets??

but how did you get money from workaway ? im going to SEA and all the host offer accommodation and 3 meals per day that is there best offer.

working and wwoofawaying

it"s not hard to find a farm with your dog. you just use the search filter and there are plenty in the US.

My one question give me answer plz

Would you say having a car is necessary to wwoof or workaway?

I want woofing work. 2 Month I want learning agriculture or woofing work.

Come to India (Agra)

Me and my woman want to move to Hawaii, we are getting evicted. My farm was completely savatoged and my landlord is forcing me to get rid of my chicken farm and bee Apiary. I have exactly 7 days to rehome all of my livestock. If you could help me find an opportunity in Hawaii whatever it may be, I would greatly appreciate it!
