Help Exchange also known as HelpX for short is being developed and administered by an English backpacker who now lives in New Zealand and has travelled extensively throughout both Australia and New Zealand over several years, during which time he has worked at several locations for accommodation and sometimes for meals as well. These places have usually either been a farm or a backpackers hostel. He sometimes used a casual system that was running where owners of farms were asking for help by putting up notices on hostel notice boards. There are also schemes that produce booklets that list such places. But realising the best way for many prospective helpers to find suitable hosts was via a system that operated online and finding that there was no such thing he decided to develop one himself. It was also a great opportunity to put his new web development skills into good use after gaining a Diploma in Internet Technology.
I hope you find Help Exchange to be a useful service to you. Help
Exchange relies heavily on the 'word of mouth' in order for new
hosts and helpers to find out about it, so do let others who may
be interested know about it. You may wish to put up poster
at your local host, backpacker hostel, information center, internet
cafe. Click here for our poster
