My choice to WWOOF in New Zealand was impulsive and uninformed, at best. Upon learning of the WWOOF program I quickly visited the WWOOF New Zealand website, saw a beautiful picture of a young WWOOFer in New Zealand working proudly in a garden, and was hooked. I sent in the small fee and became a member of WWOOF New Zealand. I envisioned roaming the picturesque New Zealand countryside, living cheaply on farms, and spending my days happily sweating in the sunshine with like-minded people. Having just graduated from college and feeling completely unready to do the real world thing, this seemed like a great adventure.

Though I was by no means a farmer (my parents love to remind me of my total disinterest in their large garden, and my amusing inability to discern the spinach patch from the beet greens), I had raked blueberries and de-tasseled corn with enthusiasm, and I knew that I would enjoy any task which involved getting dirty and being outside.
