WWOOFing abroad as an American visa advice

Hi,

I'm a little confused about working and WWOOFing abroad as a citizen of the US.

Is it correct that if I want to work or instead do a work exchange(such as WWOOFing) I can only do it in Ireland, Singapore, south Korea, Australia and new Zealand and only with a work visa?

What if I wanted to just say WWOOF within a 90 day limit, would a tourist visa allow that anywhere in the world? I'm asking because I'm hoping to figure out a way to fund a gap year. I was also looking at just working online and selling my photos.

Thanks!

Wwoofing is problematic in many countries, lots of host suggest you do not mention it at the border, which is another way of saying it is a red flag. A working holiday visa is a good bet for under 30s but those are reciprocal agreements between countries and the US does not tend to reciprocate so you will have limited choice.
