A Conversation for Working While Travelling - WWOOF

A little word of warning; only my own personal experience.
I WOOF'ed for a year in France, the owners of the farm disappeared on Xmas holiday leaving us behind after two days experience, with a flock of 
heavily pregnant, who started to lamb on New Year's Eve "ah they won't do anything till we get back in February"...we were living in (our) mobile home in the middle of nowhere, no money & lots of cold hungry lambs & very little experience, little French, no contacts, no phone; plus horses requirng daily changing of dressings and removal to other fields, not enough hay to go around all the animals...utter nightmare.
Even if you are not "in the system" officially, i would advise getting some sort of signed agreement; you honestly can't "live off the land" & nothing else in the middle of winter & having to ask the farmer "please may i have some Tampax & no, i won't eat communally because i am vegetarian" is humiliating in the extreme. (assuming they are actually there, not in Tenerife!)
