I want to add something to this post as I also wanted to go away for a while and had the exact same options: Woofing or volunteering.

In my opinion it was to much work for me to register with an organisation in my home country and then look for jobs over the EVS website.
I found my organisation where I am volunteering over google and asking organisations / charities.
Mostly the organisations cover your travel costs as well and pay u pocket money and sometimes even give u a place to live (as it is in my case).

Also you can sometimes stay longer when you are not an EVS volunteer.
I for example just extended for my second year with this charity.

Just to give you another option :)

Nora

Iedereen kent WWOOF als manier om zonder geld rond te wereld te reizen, maar voor ingezetenen van de Europese Unie is er nog een andere mogelijkheid: de European Voluntary Service. Dit programma van de EU biedt jongeren tussen de 18 en 30 jaar de mogelijkheid om geheel betaald vrijwilligerswerk te doen: reiskosten, accommodatie en maaltijden worden vergoed, er is de mogelijkheid om gratis taallessen te volgen en soms krijg je zelfs nog zakgeld. Projecten variëren van helpen in een “groen” hostel tot het geven van Engelse les op basisscholen tot het restaureren van oude Italiaanse kerkjes. Zie ook dit artikel van de Travelettes. [...]

Oh to be 18 again and doing this! I run a travel blog too – this site is fab, heard about it from my girlfriend ;-)

you have to be at least 18 to register – a friend of mine could not register because she only gut 18 two months later, and by then the deadline had passed. 30 is the maximum age ;)
