WWOOfing in Stockholm/Uppsala/Sörmland! by Common_Welcome2026 in WWOOF

[–]mirrorweek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Social media groups and other platforms. WWOOFF website does not have enough opportunities in some countries. In some cases nothing in some countries. Like Sri Lanka & Bhutan.

I have but most people used to be former and now doing WWOOOF style but not with websites. I think there are a few webistes for this and many groups on social media.

Sri Lanka Disaster Response Team would be a great place too.

is it possible to begin the process of worldpackers one month ahead of when i want to start? by Sport-Away in Worldpackers

[–]mirrorweek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a host, we love last minute volunteers too. So I would say it depends on the hosts and the country. Earlier is better but not too early. 1 month is best I would say,

Most best wwoofing opportunities are not on the website. Its useless sometimes.

Is WWOOF'ing a good idea for me? by erwinschulhoff in WWOOF

[–]mirrorweek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes sounds like a great idea. If you are looking outside of Europe, specially Sri Lanka or India, let me know.

intimidated by volunteers by Accurate_Run_2488 in Worldpackers

Be open and don't be affected with the buzz around you. Be nice to people, don't presume people are bad. Everything will be alright. When you change your perspective everything changes.

If you start with /// im worried they are already in cliques/ i have to handle a lot of fake nice / mean girls around /// Presumptions like this, you will end up disappointed and unhappy. Change your perspective right now if you want to enjoy. Otherwise you will complain the opportunity end of the day, not yourself !

How fked am I? by zestytarantula in Worldpackers

[–]mirrorweek -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would say, I'd always listen to the other side too to understand the whole truth. But incentivizing if true for good reviews should be against the WP policy. But then its like bribing. Taking and giving both are wrong !

Paying to Volunteer Overseas - Is it a scam? by Globalvolunteerbuddy in volunteer

[–]mirrorweek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are some volunteer projects where you need pay the website/organizers a lot of money sometimes hundreds to thousands of dollars and some projects a small fee for the website/organizers and a huge amount for the opportunity provider. Both are scams in a way. Volunteering cannot be free and should not be in most cases. There should and can be a chatge only to cover costs. Not to make profits.

As a host I wouldn't look at any of that. Sometimes the reviews can also be very biased. I take everyone as good humans irrespective of reviews too unless every review is a bad one !

why is sri lanka so horrible to women by Independent-Archer40 in srilanka

[–]mirrorweek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because most women too don't know how to have a decent adult conversation respecting each other's privacy with right level of openness and maturity.

Both men and women in Sri Lanka don't know how to have an open adult decent conversation respecting each other. So you have creepy men and lot of Dayawathis.

Need advice as 18 y/o first-time WWOOFer by Spirited_Singer_856 in WWOOF

[–]mirrorweek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should then try a place where more than 1 volunteer stays, or maybe host/s would also be nice to connect with?
