Coromandel, once again

I got a lift to the Coromandel Peninsula from two French women to start my wwoofing adventure. Wwoofing is a system of getting free board and food in return for four hours of work a day. Wwoof allows volunteers to stay on organic farms and join in with the various projects hosts are busy with. A variety of properties are spread throughout NZ, including farms, market gardens, communities and ventures in self-sufficiency, in which organic growing plays some part. There are over 1,000 hosts in NZ.
Alternative styles of life can be experienced; skills can be learned, interesting people encountered. In sum it is a chance to develop and grow.
