Hello there, my name is Rose Jaffe and I will be traveling with my friend, Noah, for July. I plan on WWOOFing for three weeks in Mexico and am very interested in working on your farm. I am new at WWOOFing myself but have many friends who have worked on farms all over the world. I speak spanish and have traveled through South America and Southeast Asia. We both are hard workers, enthusiastic and curious. My friend is studying environmental science and is interested in organic farming, as am I. Please let as know as soon as possible whether you have availiability in July. Si no peude hablar ingles, podemos communicar en espanol.
Thank you very much and we hope to hear from you soon,

Hola,
I am traveling with my Girlfriend, the panamericanroad from Alaska to Argentina.
We are from Germany, both 21 years old, and taking a year off before we move on to study at a university.
We arrived in Mexiko at the end of September. After 7 months of just traveling we would like to work and stay in one place for a while,. also we would love to improve our spanish skills because right now our spanish is very poor.
So we would be happy to stay at your place.
We have our own van in which we could sleep.
We are very flexible with our time but our plans right now are to be in Mexiko city at the end of november. So shortly after that at your place.
We would love to hear from you

Hello! A friend and I will be traveling in Mexico during our school break this winter and we’re wondering if you have any availability on your farm for workers during that time. Neither of us speak Spanish very well, but we’re enthusiastic about learning some, and we both have extensive experience working on farms. We’ll be in Mexico from early December until mid-January and our plans are very flexible. Please let us know if we could spend any part of this period on your farm. Work-related references could be provided, if it would be helpful.
Hoping to hear from you soon,
Martin

Hola
This sounds awesome. I am extremely interested in your farm, and hopefully wwoofing in the winter. I have time open in January 2011 of which I am extremely interested in wwoofing in Mexico
About me, My name is Justine, originally from Marin County, outside of San Francisco in California. I normally attend UC Santa Cruz full time but am taking some time off from school due to financial reasons and such. My last quarter of UCSC I took off and did a program through Humboldt State which entailed backpacking and homesteading in Northern California. This experience has really sparked an interest in gardening and especially permaculture. I am living in Oakland taking a Permaculture Design class and some other fun ones and hope to be able to use these skills in the winter on a farm like yours. I volunteer twice a week in two different community gardens as well.
Permaculture is a new interest, but I love backpacking, camping, hiking, listening to music, playing piano, making sandwiches, swimming, traveling, being present and more! My last two summers I have traveled around Mexico. Last summer I went with a friend around Mexico, Belize and Guatemala for a month starting in Oaxaca, going through Chiapas, Palenque, through Flores in Guatemala, then to Belize City then up to Tulum, Merida and Cancun. This summer I spent a month in Cuernavaca learning the language, my grip is a lot better, and i can speak fine basic and semi-conversational spanish pero necessito mas tiempo y mas experiencia! En general, me encanta este pais mucho.
I am extremely interested in broadening my horizons when it comes to gardening and feel open to most anything, because I really just got a taste during my month of homesteading. I do feel strongly attracted to the community aspect of your farm as well.
Hope you can respond and maybe we can start talking about if your farm is a good fit and if not, if you have any recommendations.
Gracias y buena suerte!
Justine Faust
