My sister and I am thinking of WWOOFing in Sweden or Norway this coming summer/next fall (we're still deciding). I am in *LOVE* with the beauty of the Scandinavian countries and it would be a dream come true to have the pleasure of working alongside those who know the land best. ♥ And as an amateur film maker... I'd say that your video was definitely worthy of a win! It looked great and made my heart beat a little faster than normal. 😇💖
This film is entered into a competition run by WWOOF Sweden, the film with the most views wins, so do you think you could help me out and share it around? I would really appreciate it!
I really don't know, it's still one of the best travel experiences I've had to this day! I plan to do more trips like this and make more videos about them....let's get the word out there and spread the message. The more people who get to WWOOF the better.
Hi there Ike, I'm a (Dutch) friend of your father Greg. Quite an impressive trip to Sweden you had, so your beautiful short film shows. Lovely! Give my regards to your dad. Cheers, Paul
Hi Jeppe, it's not a problem, we all really enjoyed helping and it was very interesting and inspiring to see your unique way of life! Thanks for posting the film on your blog!
Hi Eli, it was good to meet you too! You can help me win by sharing this film with family and friends and also sharing it on any social media sites you may have :)! Thanks.
I'm thinking of WWOOFing in Sweden, Denmark and Scotland as a final project for school and I have a timeframe of 3 weeks. I was wondering, would you spend a week in each country and did you find Denmark and Sweden to be very different? If so, how?
I'm not sure if you will be able to stay for only a week on each farm to be honest, most of the places that I looked at had a minimum stay requirement of 2 weeks. I also think that it would be beneficial to stay in one place for longer, rather than a few places for a short time, as it will allow you to fully experience and understand one place rather than having a little taster of each. I can't really tell you what the difference between Denmark and Sweden is. This is because I spent a month in Sweden, WWOOFing, canoeing and staying in Stockholm, but when I went to Denmark I was only there for 3 days and those were spent in Copenhagen. I wasn't able to get a clear feel for the place from only 3 days.
I'm thinking about WWOOFING after graduating from university in July, and have a bit of money together for travel expenses. Your video made it look like good fun. How long did you stay in Sweden for? Did you go there by yourself or with friends?
I went with two friends, although going on your own will still be good as you will meet lots of people there. It was good fun and it was a good experience too, we learnt a lot and got involved with the local community. We actually did it as part of a wider 6 week trip. We spent two weeks on the farm, then had another two weeks in Sweden, followed by another two weeks split between Denmark, Germany & Belgium. I would definitely recommend it to you, I had a great time!
Swedish people generally have a very high level of education, meaning that they can speak multiple languages. Our hosts, and generally everyone we met, spoke fluent English. Many others were also fluent in other northern European languages such as Dutch and German. We were in Sweden for 1 month and never had a single problem communicating with anybody.
Thank you so much!! I really want to travel to so many different places with WWOOF, but I was wary because I didn't know if I would be able to communicate with hosts. Thank you!
Check the link that Sam posted above, there you can find out how to contact hosts, where they are, how long they need volunteers etc. I really recommend doing it, it is a great experience!

i am going to do this is August, and I'm nervous but so excited! and even more now watching your vid!!!
Did you go? How was it?
beautiful video! Which farm is this?
How is this not so popular? This is a tremendous experience for all travellers if only this WWOOF is familiar to most people. 😕

Hi Paul, thank you for your kind comment! I will make sure I pass your message onto Dad.

Thanks Rob! If you could share it on Facebook, Twitter etc that would be a massive help!
Cool! Where in Sweden are you going?
Ya I really hope to sometime soon! I'll probably start out here in the U.S. though. Really excited, thanks for the assistance.
You did such a beautiful job with this video! What camera do you use?
Thank you! Sorry for the late reply! I shot this with a Canon 600D with a Canon efs 18-135mm lens

Thanks for making this video. Looks great, I think I'll wwoof somewhere this summer.
Yeah definitely do it, it's a great experience!
Near Jönköping :) I'm so excited!
Do you need to speak the language to travel to these places?

Many others were also fluent in other northern European languages such as Dutch and German. We were in Sweden for 1 month and never had a single problem communicating with anybody.

No problem at all, I hope you enjoy it! Maybe make some videos of wherever you go? I'm always interested to see other people's WWOOFing experiences!
I will try! I have never made videos, but it would be a great time to start and keep a record of all of it! :D
Tar ni in folk? 😝💖
