Discover the courage to grow and create at this innovative workaway farm in Sichuan, China

September 26, 2017

"We don’t want it to be just a farm with plenty of vegetables and animals [...] the future belongs to those who are innovative and courageous to go for the practice..." This month, we asked a host from a aquaponics and organic farm in Sichuan, China to share some words of wisdom about their experiences.

What is Workaway?

Workaway is a site set up to promote fair exchange between travellers (workawayers) and hosts who are families, individuals or organisations looking for help with a range of activities.

Our philosophy is simple: A few hours honest help a day in exchange for food and accommodation and an opportunity to learn about local lifestyles.

On this blog we aim to share stories and experiences from hosts and workawayers as well as allowing the people behind the organisation to communicate ideas and tips.

Work abroad, integrate into local cultures, learn a language, acquire new skills, make new friends through Workaway
