TAKE A 1 OR 2 WEEK SPANISH COURSE WHILE VOLUNTEERING AT OUR ORGANIC COFFEE FARM FINCA SAGRADO IN JERICÓ Hi there! We, Klara (Czech/Belgian), Agustin (Colombian) and our son Saila, are looking for nice human beings to join us on our coffee farm. We bought this farm 5 years ago because we fell in love with the land and thought this place would be amazing to raise our son. We didn't know anything about (coffee) farming at that point and kind of turned into coffee farmers overnight. After some years of hard work and a lot of learning we now have our own coffee brand Café Finca Sagrado Two years ago, we started offering coffee tours, chocolate workshops, accomodation for tourists, and a two week Spanish course. During this period, we couldn't receive volunteers because it was hard to manage both. In order to be able to offer our services, but also receive volunteers, we have combined the volunteering with the 1 or 2 week Spanish course. (We don't do volunteering without Spanish classes a...

Sorry folks, we are now fully booked until the beginning of April 2027. There may be a cancellation, but these are very rare, but if you are in the area, reach out, we love to chat :) As well as the normal homesteading tasks, if you want to learn about wine making, bee keeping, jewellery making, or take some self defence lessons we could be a great match.

Hi, my name is Lin Zhao, the volunteer manager of this farm. After graduating from my university I have now decided to live and work on the farm, since I was born and grew up here. I really love this land. This farm belongs to our big family. It is overall primarily run by my uncle, though I will be your main contact person for the volunteering program. The farm is located in a small town called Jiuling, an hour drive from Mianyang city, Sichuan province, China. The farm is more than 300 hectares and it mainly lives on the swine business. We raise more than 5000 pigs, grow fruits (peach, grape, kiwi), peanuts and some vegetables. We employ about 150 local workers that help us running the farm. All the workers have their meals in the canteen together with the volunteers. Besides from pigs we have free-range chickens, goats and also some fishes in the different ponds. But this is not the only things we do. We also work on restoring the local ecological environment by reforestation bec...

October and November + are available. From October onwards we are open to either short or longer stay requests. We could have a trial week or fortnight before committing to a long stay. We recently made the generous mistake of hosting a young man with no reviews and no volunteer experience...just one of the inaccuracies he states in his review is the nonexistence of the working infrared sauna, if he had ASKED for the sauna he would, not only have known where it was, but could have had one...it is not an everyday facility...his failure to ask does however typify his lack of clear communication on not only the sauna but so many of the long list of complaints he made. We are happy to live talk with you about any concerns his review may have raised. We have 58 GOOD reviews out of 62 Also we would like to arrange help for next year MARCH and April, this would involve strimming (rechargeable, metal blade Stihl, with mask etc) and for an experienced strimmer we could add some paid ...

(🇪🇸) El santuario fue fundado en 2011 con el objetivo de salvar la vida de animales rechazados por la sociedad que en otras circunstancias o tendrían ninguna oportunidad. A través de un arduo trabajo durante 14 años y la visibilidad de su labor, se ha logrado transformar la relación que la sociedad tiene con los animales. Nos enfrentamos así a desafíos sociales y culturales que tienen que ver con una fuerte consolidación de valores tradicionales que perjudican a los animales y la naturaleza. En nuestro equipo de trabajo se da especial importancia a actividades que potencien la solidaridad, la empatía y el compromiso; a través de una experiencia educativa y solidaria. Por ello, nos encantaría recibir ayuda de personas voluntarias que quieran dedicar su tiempo sinceramente al trabajo en el santuario y que su intención de alojarse en el santuario se deba a ayudar a los animales, más que a una experiencia turística o por una simple intención de tener alojamiento para ir a Madrid. El san...

Back in time... back to nature Hi there. We are a family of ... well, at least 4 people, plus our cat, goat, sheep, bees, hens and roosters. In the spring of 2023, we finally found a place to call our home. Even though it is at the beginning of a longer process of being beautiful, cosy, lovable, ... We put ourselves into a challenge of living here, even in harsh conditions as they are here at this point: - It's in a remote place with only 1 close neighbour (30 m from us). The other families live approx. 400 and 600m away, and others are even further away. - No running water yet. But there is a spring not so far away from where we get water, and we filter it for drinking or use it for washing dishes/clothes or ourselves (outside). And also a well. - People who previously lived (I wouldn't be afraid of saying 'squatted ') here left an unbelievable mess and enormous quantities of trash. So much so that it was hard to enter the house. We are slowly cleaning the place and separating i...

Hobbits are "little people" with big hearts and big bare feet firmly connected with mother earth. They habitually live "under the radar" of some PC embellished society and try all their best to not succumb to the madness of it. Claiming their birth right to nature's abundance, love, beauty and endless creativity they naturally make up to and make do with the lack of gold caused by the greedy child-eating dragon behind the bare stone mountains.. Hi, my name is Marianne. I live on a classic New Zealand all-day sunny "tree quarter acre of hobbit shire" looking down to Oamaru. If you arrive early enough at my kitchen window or even up on the jungle hill behind the cottage, you can see the sea and watch the sunrise. A 10 minute stroll down Eden Street gets you either to the CBD or to the shoreline. I am providing three basic meals per day as well as a comfortable and quiet room for your stay and to relax after our daily four hours of working together "out there", somewhere on some befitt...

Welcome! I am Fern. I live together with my 4 year old daughter on our small, off grid and very humble farmlet in Guildford, Central Victoria. Guildford is home to one of Victoria's largest river red gums. It is over 500 years old. It's a very small town with only a general store, primary school & pub, half way between Castlemaine & Daylesford. We have been on this land for 1 and a half years & have started using permaculture principals & design. So far, we have completed the fence line, (to keep the rabbits out) & joyously have begun some planting both in the food forest, cottage garden & in the veggie patch. We always have seeds growing in our tiny greenhouse. Fern has a background in florist & plant nursery work and has completed a PDC. Currently a full time Mama, her interest lie in walking softly on this earth, while the little one loves watching the abundant birdlife in our vast open skies! I love kirtan and am busy immersing ourselves in the local community. There maybe a proj...

My husband Matthias and I, Johanna, came from Germany as backpackers in the 1980s. We met here in NZ, but our home language is German. We are a family with eight children, who we home-educated throughout their school years. Three of them are now married, and we have five grandchildren. Five of our now grown-up children are living at home - either still or again - our oldest son with his wife and 4 boys is living in our cottage, and another son with his wife and baby has moved into a smaller house on our property. A friend lives in our housetruck. So life is happening to the full! Sadly, my husband passed away in January 2024 after a short time of intense illness. We miss him much! Our lifestyle block is home to a gaggle of geese, a flock of domestic ducks, around 40 chickens, some sheep and sometimes a few young male goats, - and of course many wild birds, rabbits and the tiny creatures of fields, woods and duck-pond. An old apple, apricot and peach orchard and a young walnut grove ar...

The activities may vary according to each volunteer’s interests, experience and abilities. They can include general maintenance of the property, gardening, clearing and organising outdoor areas, small restoration and painting tasks, support with cultural events, photography, video production, social media, website content, research, writing and documentation of local traditions. No previous professional experience is required for general activities, but we particularly value people wi...

We are looking for helpers who can help for a minimum of two weeks, ideally three weeks minimum, but helpers who can stay a bit longer, up to six weeks, or similar, are preferred. This really suits helpers who are keen to learn about farming and are interested in that as part of their travels through NZ. We provide you with your own separate, private, peaceful accommodation, with en-suite, washing machine and kitchen with beautiful views of rural land and Tasman Bay. Wi-Fi, power and water included, plus food allowance. Helpers love that it also gives them a break from van-life and they can spread out and relax in their own space and explore locally. At present we are looking at availability from the late October/early November and onward through the summer. You must be physically strong, hard-working, practical and fit, with plenty of stamina - as well as not being afraid of getting your hands dirty. Beautiful hill country sheep and cattle farm, with views of the sea and mountain...

We are a group of friends who decided three years ago to restore a beautiful old village/motel in Jindabyne. We are looking for like minded individuals who are passionate about restoration/building and maintenance, love nature and have a good nature and willing to share a laugh over some good food. We have hosted people from all around the world, including all over Europe, Asia, North and South America. The motel is a 5-minute drive from local amenities such as supermarkets, shops, pubs, and a skate park. From June to September there are plenty of winter activities including skiing, tobogganing, and snowboarding at nearby ski resorts, just 30 minutes away. In summer, there are plenty of hikes, mountain biking, fishing, as well as the beach at Jindabyne Lake, Blue Lake and we are 30 minutes from the tallest mountain in Australia- Mount Koscioscko. Yarrangobilly Caves and nearby thermal pools are about one hour away. Our beautiful site features a serene river, where you can go...

I am open to taking a couple and there is a newly renovated, self-contained cabin with a double loft bed and ensuite adjacent to my house.

I would like to practice my beginner Italian language skills with an Italian native speaker. I love being a HelpX host! It is so much fun to meet people from other places and other cultures. I have met some of the most wonderful people, some who are now life-long friends. Previously I lived in North Sydney, I then moved to Manly ...
