Wow, I forgot about the post where I talked about woofing. I didn’t know much about it then. After I learned more about it I decided it was a no for me. Sorry for the confusion!
I get that woofing can be very helpful for some people. It’s just not right for me for various reasons. While I would consider doing paid farm work or an internship at a community where I would consider moving, woofing won’t really get me anywhere. Learning how to farm isn’t on my top list of priorities. I already have some farm skills and am more focused on learning other things. Its like, ok Wwoofing will help me get even better at farming, but then at the end of my tenure I would be in mild debt and with no way to actually use the skills I learned. So it actually puts me farther behind. For other people it might be different. But, I do think a internship at a community might be a good idea for me or others.
I have no interest in wwoofing. I feel like for me there is no point in it. Figuring out what I want is’nt so much the problem. Figuring out how to get there is harder.
I wonder how feasible it is to make a living by selling crafts. I knit and crochet and would like to not have to commute to work. Does anyone do this or know someone wo does?

I’m surprised nobody replied “housework” or “foraging” A combo of these is what I do. I also cut firewood and pick up odd jobs. Right now, i have a seasonal kitchen job in a diner. I basically try to live like Thoreau.

Riding a bike to work, cooking everything I eat, checking the discount bins and foraging.

No junk food anywhere. Whole foods are less addictive, especially if they have a lot of fiber. No fast food. And drinking water. Apples are great. If you get the munchies, munching on frut is usually good.
