      I’m a guy who rebooked a hotel room on my 2 month vacation to Florida and spent $12,000 on a new booking because I saw a roach… I am going to my first wwofing experience in Hawaii for 4 months next week. Let’s see how this goes

    I am a woofing host in Norway. I love having woofers, but I can tell you it is not easy. Al woofers have diferent expectations and skills. Most people like it here but some people dont. The only thing that is 100% certain is that the experience is not what they expected. I might be better, it might be worse but it is always diferent then expected.

    I hope you understand what I am going to tell you now, and not take offence. I also hope you will quit telling everyone that wwoofing is a cheap way to travel. Wwoofing is a cultural and educational exchange. You don't exchange work hours for room and board. If you were, if you did, you have to pay federal and state income tax on the value of the food and shelter you received. The host would have to follow federal, state and local laws to report the work exchange and provide you with unemployment insurance, social security and medicare co-payments. Instead you go to a host farm, who welcomes you as a guest who shares their interest in the sustainable, organic life style. They provide you with food and shelter, because that's what hosts do, and you help with with their chores and projects because that's what guests do and that is how you learn. Its an important difference that both wwoof hosts and wwoof guests need to know. That's my two cents.

      Thank you for that.
      Im sorting through ways to move to Hawai’i and shelter myself once I’m there, living outside won’t last long with me, wwoof sounds like something I can do.
      The video was informative, but I still felt unanswered; you answered my question, thanks.

    I didn't know what to expect when going to Hawai'i. One thing I can tell you is that you should expect to be going to a different country. A country that has a different culture/way of life. A country that has a different way of doing things. A country that has a different power structure. You'll meet a people who have a different mindset. It's not just the mainland with beaches.
