But you can also build a wall or make cheese.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Woofing gives a job to people who haven\u2019t one, or it gives the opportunity to improve a foreign language and make friends from the whole world. You can work for a few weeks (for example during the summer holidays) or for some years, moving between different farms. People who want to try those kinds of experiences should look at wwoofinginternational.org and choose the place and the farm that they prefer. Obviously you need to contact the local farmers for more information and availability.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I was a \u201cwoofer\u201d last summer in Ireland. At first I didn\u2019t know for how long. I thought about just a few weeks but at the end it took me two months.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">My host family welcomed me like a member of the family. My tasks changed according to the weather, so if it was raining I used to work \u201cin the tunnel\u201d, if the weather was better, I used to weed, seed, feed the hens and so on\u2026at the end of the weeks (on Thursday or Friday), I usually picked our vegetables and took them to the weekly street market that took place in Dublin.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was a great experience above all thanks to the family who I stayed with and their simple style of life, which I learned to love. Besides I realize that I developed new skills through my farming experience. Surely I\u2019ll go back next summer, I think I\u2019ll probably spend two more months there.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Life is full of opportunities, let\u2019s travel on!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Davide Damiani 3A (scientifico) Woofing from WWOOF \u201cWorld Wide Opportunities On Organic Farm\u201d is not a hobby, it\u2019s a life style!
