Hello! I am a hijabi muslim woman living in Canada. I want to try WWOOFing solo here in Canada, but I'm worried about islamophobia. Does anyone know if it, or other forms of bigotry, are common? I take horseback riding lessons and microaggressions from staff at the barn aren't super rare. It's not the biggest issue when I ride, but I'm worried about it with WWOOFing because I will be living with the "staff". I know people in rural areas tend to be white and may hold more conservative viewpoints. I want to try WWOOFing as a way to disconnect and experience nature, as well as gain diverse animal experience since I plan to apply to vet school. How common is islamophobia?
