WorldWide Opportunities in Organic Farming

Natalie and Dani are still on break, so we pulled together yet another show from our archived interviews from 2008 and 2009.

WWOOF stands for World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms. Tuesday's show is a compilation of students experiences WWOOFing across the world.

WWOOF, Nepal. Austin Smith, a student at UC Davis, talks about his experience WWOOFing on a rice farm in Nepal back in 2006. Austin talks about the culture, politics and landscape of Nepal.

WWOOF, Thailand. Katie Cooper, also a student at UC Davis, talks about her experience WWOOFing in Thailand. Katie also worked on rice farm, an organic farm, but also enriched her experience teaching English with her host family as well. Katie talks about the culture, food and family traditions of Thailand. To learn more about Katie's experience, you can check out her blog.
