Listen "Episode 145: Diaries of a WWOOFer"
Episode Synopsis
You sleep in a storage container. You poop in a bucket. You pick weeds under the hot sun for six hours a day. You live on a mountain and wait for food to be delivered every week, and when it gets there, you hide all the chocolate from your roommates. And you're not paid. BUT... you're in Hawaii. How long could you last?
Workaway programs like WWOOF have a long list of benefits, but they've got their downfalls too. How can we improve them so folks will keep working-away far into the future? This week we talk to a real-life WWOOFer about a real-life WWOOFing disaster to get an insider's perspective on the matter. But it's not all bad, because it changed Helen's life for the better.
Get ready to chuckle as we hear about Helen Josephson's whacky WWOOFing experience.
