some daily affirmations to make the wwoofing process better for all of us...
• good wwoofers are friendly and nice
• good wwoofers read the farm listings carefully and only respond to farms they actually are interested in working on
• good wwoofers don't send out generic form emails to farms. most farms are super busy and take care to answer each prospective wwoofer and it's a bit disheartening to get emails from people who either haven't read your posting or asking questions obviously answered in your listing.
• good wwoofers realize that there is more to wwoofing than sweating with plants and dirt. most farms are rooted in family or community and good wwoofers do their best to contribute to every aspect of the farm: like being friendly and inviting to new wwoofers, neighbors and residents alike.
• good wwoofers help keep the living areas, working and cooking areas clean and functional. all wwoof hosts resent cleaning up after their visitors
• good wwoofers aren't sleezy men who harass their female counterparts.
• good wwoofers don't let god or jah come between them and respectful relationships with the greater wwoofing community.
• good wwoofers realize that the continued success of wwoofing is reliant upon wwoofers not stealing or sleezing or slacking so that farms no longer want to mess with them...
• good wwoofers are the best thing ever! (and we've had nothing but the best!!!)
