Have any of you guys done wwoofing?
Where you essentially work on a farm in a foreign country in exchange for food and lodging.
It seems like a pretty good way to travel on the cheap, and was interested in personal experiences.

Yes! It is awesome. Definitely try it, but talk the host for bit first just to make sure they're cool

not OP but anyone done Workaway or Helpx?
I did in Japan, stayed at 3 different hosts. Overall experience was good but some I enjoyed more than others.
At the first host I worked to much, at the third the relations were OK but not as personal as I expected. The second host was fantastic, it was just great.
I understand each country has its own website, system and rules. This is what I learnt about Japan and might be relevant to other countries:
1. Make sure your hosts know English and see your level of interaction (Eating meals together or seperately ect.)
2. Read reviews.
3. See that you are OK with the working hours
4. Apply in advance as good hosts get alot of applicants.
5. Read that the activities done in the farm and the surronding are to your liking.

Currently doing my first workaway experience
Any South American countries good to WWOOF on? I can see the host list but that only tells me so much.
Can you just bail if it's shit? Are there any ramifications?

Dont see why there would be, only a small yearly membership fee. If they try to pull something just say it was not as advertised, your word against theirs.

I did workaway in Florida. Just did yard work for this lady on the beach. It was a little annoying because my friend who was a girl got to hang out inside and walk her dogs while I was digging up stumps and painting fences out in the heat.
