Typical Duration of Program: 2-4 weeks

Description: WWOOF (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms) is a international organic farm directory network that seeks to connecting willing volunteers with organic farm hosts, in an exchange of labor for experience. Volunteers provide the labor, and host farms provide meals and a place to stay.

We offers people the chance to volunteer on organic farms. Volunteers (Wwoofers) provide labor to host farms in exchange for food, accommodations, and the unique experience of living and working in the countryside. Wwoofers benefit from the experience through the process of cultural exchange, as well as being able to discuss and learn about organic agriculture and the organic movement. In turn, WWOOF host farms benefit through the help they receive from volunteers.

Highlights: Romania is a unique and beautiful country in the Balkan region of South Eastern Europe. The culture of Romania represents a mix of modern developments and traditional practices, most notably in subsistence agriculture, which is still practiced by most of the rural population.

Romania is often described as a Latin island in a slavic sea. While many aspects of Romanian culture are commonly found throughout Eastern Europe and the Balkans, Romania's language (a latin language like Italian or Spanish), its mix of people (Romanians, Hungarians, Saxons, and Rroma), its foods, and its traditions offer visitors a truly distinct experience.
