Yes, it is your responsibility to ensure you are properly insured for WWOOFing activities. Here’s what you need to know.
General Insurance Recommendations
Travel Insurance: We strongly recommend all WWOOFers obtain travel insurance that includes medical coverage. This is essential in case of illness, accidents, or other unexpected issues during your travels. Some hosts may require proof of insurance upon your arrival.
Liability Insurance: Consider liability insurance to cover situations where you might accidentally damage property or injure someone while WWOOFing.
If you already have insurance, check whether it covers WWOOFing activities. If not, you may need to explore additional coverage options.
