Any UK WWOOFers Out There?

We’re looking for any UK wwoofers that might be in New Zealand to escape the recession and make the most of the opportunity by doing a bit of travelling/taking gap years etc.

There’s been lots of media interest in this and we’re looking for case studies – people that wouldn’t mind sharing their story.

If you come across any wwoofers from the UK, would be fantastic if you could please let me know.

Many thanks,

Joanna

    I’m a Wwoofer from the UK, and I worked in a fairly well paid and paid clerical job (not career orientated) for 2 years to save up money to travel. Thank God I did! I resigned just before the crisis really hit home and there were 67 applications for my job, from all walks of life. I’m lucky I have some savings to fall back on. It was such a relief to get to New Zealand and live a different pace of life, with all the stress and worry of increasing prices left behind (at least for now). I’d say its left feeling like I wan’t to emigrate somewhere permenantly!
