🌿 Hey there, backpackers! 😊 I often host travellers passing through Auckland and I’m happy to offer free accommodation in exchange for a bit of help around the house or garden. There’s a fully furnished room available in Browns Bay, suitable for one or two backpackers. The room has a double wardrobe, a comfy work chair, and a height-adjustable desk. The house has beautiful beach views, a relaxing garden, and a calm, homely vibe — perfect for unwinding after your travels. It’s a great location too: close to the beach, shops, and cafés, with public transport nearby. I work full-time in tech and live here as well. The house is friendly and respectful — we value privacy and quiet time, but happy to share travel stories or have a chill evening together now and then 😊 If you’re looking for a safe, comfortable place to stay while exploring Auckland (or planning the rest of your NZ trip), feel free to message me.

Gardening, housework, light mechanical, a bit of hunting, all sorts of things, never boring.A wicked sense of humor is a good asset to bring. handy to Routeburn and Greenstone tracks.

Please don't apply unless you intend to come for a minimum stay of two weeks. One person only. We do not get involved with internships or visa applications.

I am off grid and totally dependent on solar, so you have to charge your devices during the day and definitely no hairdryers! Accommodation is a house bus in warmer weather or a room in the house in winter, not shared usually. Lastly I also play the guitar (badly) and sing (worse) but it's all about smile not style :-) , please don't come if you have a heavy cold or flu, I'm involved with the elderly. Cheers Al

Nous sommes Pierre-yves et Paul, deux hommes gay. Nous habitons dans le sud ouest de la France, dans le très joli département de la Dordogne. Nous sommes horticulteurs. Nous vivons avec nos deux chats dans notre vieille ferme construite il y a plus de 200 ans. C'est un endroit paisible de la campagne française, à proximité d'un tout petit village. Les commerces et les villes ne sont pas très loin. Notre village s'appel Verteillac, il est situé à proximité de Ribérac. Notre vie tourne principalement autour des travaux en extérieur et par tous les temps. Nous exploitons une pépinière à domicile, ce qui nous laisse peu de temps libre pour entretenir la maison et le jardin. Nos projets incluent donc le jardinage, le désherbage, le défrichage autour de la maison et parfois la maintenance des bâtiments. Les travaux peuvent varier selon la saison. C'est un réel plaisir pour nous de partager toutes ces taches avec des personnes motivées, énergiques et qui apprécies la sérénité de notre styl...

We are still welcoming volunteers in November and December for 2-4 week stays. We are a clifftop ecological microfarm on a quarter acre at the westernmost tip of the stunning Beara peninsula in West Cork, Ireland, focused on salad-vegetable production. Now that autumn is here, the work becomes much more physical, with wheelbarrowing in manure every week and making and turning compost heaps, as well as preparing new beds for sorting so it really helps if you are feeling strong. We also have a massive wood pile that needs moving and chopping to clear an area that we are hoping to use for next spring. Until the end of October, I will still be harvesting vegetables twice a week, and there will be small amounts of sowing, transplanting, and weeding, so lots to talk about in the garden. At the same time, we are fixing up a small hut as a short-term rental, so if you are interested in carpentry, pouring a new concrete roof, painting, or replacing windows, there is loads of fun to be had....

Located in Mani, in the very south of mainland Greece, about 300m above sea level in the foothills of the Taygetos mountain range, overlooking the Messinian Gulf, you'll find my house and 3ha of half olive grove, interspersed with native trees and the other half a naturally grown woodland + another 2ha of olives a bit further away. I adhere to organic principles and returned the land to traditional farming methods, next is growing fruit and vegetables and perhaps keeping some livestock.. The work in hand is varied and includes the maintenance of trees and harvest of olives, clearing/maintaining land, rebuilding stone walls and housing. I aim to combine traditional materials, from sustainable resources, and recycled materials wherever possible and would welcome your help at any time of year, especially though at harvest time Nov.-Feb. In general I prefer longer stays, at least 2 weeks, longer after a trial period. Update 09.26: My schedule for the next months is: 1. Getting ready for...

Hello everyone, I'm Mick, 43 years old, originally from the Italian Alps. After many years of travelling, the desire to slow down and create my own little harbour became stronger than ever. Seven years ago, I decided to settle down and buy a small farm in Portugal, where I now live together with my dog, cat, geese, chickens and ducks. The project originally started with my ex-girlfriend, and today I continue the journey on my own. The land is about two hectares and offers plenty of space to share with good-hearted and like-minded people. A beautiful river borders the property, there are natural springs with excellent drinking water, and we are surrounded by native forest. The nearest town with shops and amenities is only a 10–15 minute drive away. My vision is to live in harmony with nature and create a simple and respectful lifestyle, following permaculture principles and moving step by step towards greater self-sufficiency. At the moment, I am deeply involved in restoring and co...

Hi everyone! 👋 We are Nicolas (34) and Germain (35), a French couple who recently moved back to France after spending six years living in Canada. We now live in Meyreuil, just next to Aix-en-Provence, in the south of France. Over the past years, we have been busy renovating Germain’s grandmother’s old house, which is now our home. We did most of the work ourselves, and we’re finally getting to the fun part: settling in, developing our businesses and enjoying the place! 😊 Germain is a graphic designer, and Nicolas is a craftsman. We both work independently, so our schedules can be quite busy. Our home is surrounded by 2.5 hectares of land, including a large 200 m² vegetable garden, chickens providing us with fresh eggs, and plenty of little projects constantly appearing around the house! We love making things ourselves and have even started designing and building some of our own furniture. There is always something to do here — and, honestly, we sometimes need a little extra help...

We are on an 70 acre farm in North Pope County, Illinois and are virtually surrounded by the Shawnee National Forest. Having been on this farm for 13 years, we are still developing infrastructure and are continuing to plant in the orchard and various berries as well as establishing and expanding garden and crop areas. We are a GMO, herbicide and pesticide free farm in all of our outdoor areas. As we are far away from "modern agricultural" property, we feel that we should have no problems with cross pollination of our crops with GMO's or damage/exposure from/to ag chemicals. There are many projects currently in process or in the planning stages. This summer/fall we hope to get new water and electric lines ran to all the barns and the greenhouse as well as get a fiber studio framed in and get the finishing touches on the greenhouses. Tasks on the farm are endless, so there are always things to do year round. Clearing brush, cutting wood, building fence, baling hay, sawing lumber, ...
