Welcome to our little haven in West Auckland! 🌿 We are a family with a little one, a few dogs and cats and a busy life! We love meeting new people from all walks of life. We really enjoyed our own HelpX experiences back in the day, and now we’d love to open our home to travellers and give someone else that same experience! We’re looking for a helping hand with general gardening, weeding, fence painting, light repairs, cleaning and other bits and pieces around the property/home. Nothing too fancy, just a variety of practical tasks to help us keep everything running smoothly. We offer private accommodation in a separate house with one double bed, in return for 3 hours of help per day, per person, with weekends off. Meals are self-catered, and we will discuss tasks and schedules together so it's a good experience for everyone =) We live in a little haven in West Auckland, with a park, beach and tennis court all within walking distance. There’s public transport nearby, and we’re surro...

Kia Ora and hello helpers, We're Chris and Meri. We live on a little farm with some really beautiful rural views and with native birds & bush with a beautiful little bush stream that runs through the property where we're gradually planting and restoring the natural environment with many hundreds of native plants. We run a little flock of South Suffolk Sheep, we have some free Range Brown Shaver Chickens, Khaki Campbell Ducks (perfect eggs for baking!), we have a pair of very rare Cape Barren Geese and we also have a little fruit tree Orchard too. We enjoy good conversation, cooking and sharing good food (and favourite recipes) with others and your stay wouldn't be complete without experiencing a few of Meri's traditional yummy Indonesian styled dishes. We share making meals together and welcome helpers to help make some of the meals too 😋. As a Christian husband and wife couple, we're of course not perfect people but we do try to be kind, helpful to others that we meet and to b...

Hi, my husband and I live in a beautiful area on a lifestyle farm with our five young kids. We are working on setting up a sustainable lifestyle and there's always something to do! We have beef cows, a milk cow, horses, sheep, goats, chickens, a couple dogs and a producing greenhouse. Typical jobs we require help with: homesteading, ongoing projects, property maintenance, gardening, cutting firewood, scrub clearing and help around the house. If you like your exercise there's a walking track to the top of our property with stunning views at the top. Swimming hole at a beautiful river 5 minutes down the road. Accommodation provided in our family home. You will have your own private upstairs sleeping area and a separate toilet. Three healthy meals provided for 4 hours work. We look forward to meeting you!

We are a family of four living on five picturesque acres in a beautiful valley in the Perth Hills, Western Australia. Our property is home to a large garden with fruit trees, ornamental trees, ponds and garden beds, as well as a small flock of chickens and our two friendly dogs. With two teenage children and busy family lives, we're looking to welcome couples who would enjoy helping us care for our property while experiencing Australian family life. We especially value cultural exchange and enjoy meeting people from different backgrounds. While we strongly prefer couples, we may also consider singles who are a great fit. We also own a rural property in nearby Jarrahdale, so some tasks may take place there. Both properties are managed using biodynamic principles, and we have increasingly been incorporating permaculture practices into our land management. We are particularly interested in hearing from people who share these values or who are keen to learn more about regenerative agricu...

PLEASE READ MY WHOLE HOST PROFILE BEFORE YOU APPLY TO VISIT MY PLACE AND ASK ABOUT ANYTHING YOUR NOT CLEAR ON. Need help with a garden clean up, at the moment. You don't need to have an overwhelming desire to save the world, live off the land, or be more useful than a Swiss army knife, to stay here. A nice honest person is good enough. Your pronouns or political correctness are better off left in your backpack🤣😉 This is a relaxing place, close to nature, away from the backpacker trail on the coast but still got a bit happening, somewhere to recharge your batteries, do a bit of work, have a laugh and meet some real Aussies, maybe get out of your comfort zone a bit😜 My place is a cattle farm with one rough headed(inside and out 🤣,) skinny, old farmer, one dog, some cattle, lots of birds and wildlife, relaxing place, near Kyogle, a quiet country town. It is 1.5 hours drive west from Byron Bay, 2 hours south of Brisbane by train. Very close to the beautiful Border Ranges National...

Hello! I grew up in the Soviet Union and moved to the US when I was about 13 years old. These days, I'm 47 with two kids in college. They are usually home, as is my adopted mother. We live on a big wooded lot, an acre of which I would like to turn into a homestead, like the ones I remember from when I was a kid (dacha). So in exchange for the accommodations, I would need you to do about 4 hours of work every day. I do all the work around the house myself, so I'd be working beside you most of the time. Otherwise, I work/teach from home, so I'm always around here somewhere. It's a beautiful home, and you'd have your own private room in the house. In effect, you would be joining the family as my brother.

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. You will need your own internet connection as I don't supply wifi. A bit isolated, not for the precious, no trophy hunters!! 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. Vegetarians and vegans would probably not be comfortable as we eat meat daily. 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

Join us on our 6acre property, 30min inland from beautiful Pambula on the South Coast of NSW! We are after some help maintaining our property. This can involve anything from planting out the vegetable garden, to lawn mowing and cooking. All that's needed is a 'can do' attitude, a willingness to learn and a good sense of humour. Keep in mind that we do have two dogs, two cats and a whole bunch of chickens - so being an animal lover is a bonus! In return we offer accomodation, food and frequent trips in and around the valley to ensure that you get the most out of your stay on the Sapphire Coast. Our area is renowned for its pristine coast line, native animals and plants, and its untouched wilderness. A 1-2 week stay is ideal, with the option of extending. My 21 year old son lives with me part time inbetween bee keeping and studying, and my daughter and her family live on the coast - so there's plenty of family meals and adventures! We have a lot of experience hosting, but haven't for a ...

At our off- grid solar, wood and gravity powered homestead you can live very close to Nature and learn by helping, how to grow your own food in the big, fully caged vegie garden/ orchard and some of how to build a bush cabin (it could be a winning strategy in years to come). We are long term, committed advocates, for climate change action and we've lived with Sustainability and Creating a low "Carbon Footprint" in mind, for 40 yrs now, settling here, (inland of Taree / Port Macquarie) from scratch in 1980, on 680 acres of rocky ridge forest on the wild and steep NW edge of the Bulga Plateau, 500m above sea level (a very beautiful but challenging location)! Watch our YouTube video below, about our community and us, made by the very talented helpxer, Louie Ablett. Three of us live here now, myself 74, David 84 and Sue 64, who started as a WWOOFer and has moved here with the help of a voluntary activity agreement through Centrelink for over 55s'. Sue came in September 2019 , lost th...

We are looking for one or two people for a paid job beginning mid November. It is full time work, preference given to those who can at least stay for January. It is also possible that this position can be a wwoofing position (unpaid for only 2 hours/6 days) if you want to arrive earlier than this. Free accommodation onsite with free fast Starlink internet. This place is a former Monastery, which is now a farm and guesthouse on the Great Ocean Road. We have some lovely black alpacas, a big white fluffy dog and some gorgeous highland cattle. We can give you a very relaxing and spectacular place to live with amazing views of the ocean and surrounding landscape. Our property is between Lorne and Apollo Bay. Only 15 minutes along the Great Ocean Road to Apollo Bay. It is preferable to have your own car to get around in this area. The ocean and beach is across the road!

We would like to hear from you if you are travelling through Central Otago and want to experience a stay well away from the tourist towns. On the 45th Parallel, at the base of the Dunstan Mountains is the remains of a tiny town from the gold rush days. Just a few properties remain, and help needed with a range of restoration jobs - mainly painting and mud brick repair. Also, so many tasks associated with running rural properties including animal care and lots of great dogs to walk in the most fabulous countryside. Pippa is the primary host. Having hosted over 1000 volunteers successfully, through various platforms at our previous property (Solve Sanctuary), I know how to make sure that people get matched to tasks they are keen to engage with and that suits the level of challenge you want. I love to welcome travelers to join in our projects and value the variety of skills and enthusiasm you bring. We have moved here to enjoy the very simple life, big skies, high country, ultra fresh a...

We are a couple in a neighborhood in the north-east area of Seattle, Washington. We are interested in hosting a person or two who could help with some yard work, maybe deep cleaning the kitchen, general house projects, etc. Also, Sally is involved in a house-reorganize project for her 89 year old mother that she would love help with. Short term stays are best for us (around a week, plus or minus). We ask for 3 hours of help per day (except for arrival and departure days). It's OK to work longer days and then take days off - we are flexible. You have your own bedroom & your own bathroom with shower to use on the lower level of our home.. We have two "kids", 25 and 27, all grown and moved away. The photo posted is really old! We enjoy meeting people from other cultures! Our home is near a bus line to the light rail train - 30 minutes to the city center. Walking distance to library, shops and cafes. You are welcome to borrow a bicycle to explore (be prepared for hills!)....

Overview: We are a Tibetan Buddhist Centre that welcomes HelpX volunteers interested in learning more about meditation, Buddhism and the spiritual life. Jobs are mainly cleaning, gardening and grounds work. We offer accommodation usually in our dorm room and free attendance at classes & meditations. Volunteers are responsible for their own food - but are welcome to also use fruit from the orchard and herbs from the garden (seasonal). We are a Registered Charitable Trust and rely on volunteers and donations. We do not have a large budget and are unable to provide food money to short-term volunteers. This is really a place for those that wish to learn more about Buddhism, live in our community and offer service for a short period (2 - 3 weeks). Living at a Buddhist Centre we ask you to respect the Lay Buddhist Precepts during your stay (ex. no killing, no lying, no stealing, no taking intoxicants, etc.) and be respectful of Centre residents. 4 good hours of work per day, 2 days off pe...

I can't see the world, but the world can come see me. First and foremost, I want to thank all the helpers who came from United Kingdom-England, France, Belgium, Italy, China, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. Welcome Helpers. I live in the Appalachian Mountains of West Virginia. Peaceful Hollow is quite with no neighbors in sight. There are no city lights, and you can see every star on a clear night! Pleaseful Hollow consists of: my cabin,/workshop with a private guestroom with private entrance on the second floor, and a very small guest cabin. My daughter and family moved here much later and have their own home. There is a lot you can be involved in, knowledge to share, friendships to build, and opportunities for growth. Below are routines and some projects. I would love to involve you! - Caring for honey bees, chickens, cats, dogs, one gilt pig berkshire-tamworth with spots.. i am a fourth-generation beekeeper and has much knowledge to share. - General landscaping,. u...

We are a fit and active couple in our 70s who have recently bought a home (2021) right by the water on Lamb Island in Moreton Bay, 30km from Brisbane. It has great views over the bay and has good access to fishing, crabbing, safe swimming and boating. There is a fast and regular ferry to the mainland that takes 20 minutes. There are also several other islands nearby that can be explored including North Stradbroke Island that has wonderful beaches and walks and lots of wildlife including koalas, kangaroos, turtles and dolphin and - from June to October - humpback whales. Over the next two years we will renovate and paint the home, install new kitchen and two bathrooms. Graham has some woodworking skill but needs help during that time with various tasks and we are willing to give you a comfortable bed, good food and company and access to bathroom and washing machine in exchange for 4 hours help per day, 5 days per week. Our preference is for a single person or couple who have some skil...

We are looking for helpers who can help for a minimum of two weeks, but helpers who can stay a bit longer, up to six weeks, or similar, are particularly welcome. Most helpers arrive for two weeks and actually love it so much that they want to stay longer. 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 the freedom to explore locally. 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 mountains. You must enjoy w...

Room and simple breakfast of toast, tea or coffee, I can show you where to find free bread and there is generally some rice or pasta you can use, occasionally some fruit and vegetables, or other food included but not guaranteed. I have a minimum stay of 2 weeks and a maximum stay of 3 months. Ipswich is a lovely place in itself and is about an hours drive to Brisbane, about an hour to the Gold Coast, about an hour and a half to the Sunshine Coast or about an hour to the mountains in Toowoomba. Many visitors to Australia assume it will be hot here and in summer it is, in winter the temperature can be very cold. Make sure to pack some warm winter clothing if travelling in the winter months. I don't have fans or air conditioning so the temperature is what it is. It's hot in summer and cold in winter. Electricity has become too expensive for me to run heating or cooling appliances. I am not on a farm, it is a residential block in Ipswich. My house is small and cluttered and surrounded...

We are located in the heart of Berlin, one of Europe's most exciting and diverse cities. With its vibrant cultural scene, world-class museums, historic landmarks, countless cafés, parks, and excellent public transport. I would kindly ask you to help with painting, fencing, gardening, sweeping leaves, cleaning and maintaining the house, as well as feeding and caring for the animals. There is plenty of space to relax and enjoy your free time. You will have your own private room, and I will provide breakfast and one warm meal each day. If you enjoy cooking in a holistic and nutritious way, you are more than welcome to do so. I am always happy to share my knowledge about healthy food and learn from others as well. I am not just looking for someone to help with daily tasks—I would like to offer a meaningful cultural exchange and create a positive experience together. If you are interested in meditation, mindfulness, personal growth, or self-discovery, this could be the right place for you. ...

Hi everyone! We have a beautiful property a short walk/drive away from a gorgeous New Zealand beach. We live 45 minutes from Hamilton and 20-25 minutes from Raglan. Our area is very remote - we have some neighbours but there are no shops here or public transport, just farmland. So if you enjoy being away from cities and people then this is the place for you! Our property suits people who enjoy the outdoors and surfing, hiking, walking, animals, solitude. There is a beautiful mountain right by our house for hiking, great surfing and fishing in the area, and Raglan (a little over 20 minutes away) which is a vibrant and energetic little beach town with world famous surf. This exchange is for accommodation only. We have a cabin with a big bed and beautiful views of the farmland and mountain and sea. There is a kitchenette for you to keep and cook your own food. The bathroom is about 20 metres away from the cabin and it is a composting toilet with shower that does the job but is gravity-f...

Come share a little magic in Taihape Hello, beautiful people I’m looking for one or two lovely souls to share my quirky old villa, enjoy the company of my wonderful animal family, and help bring my garden and home back to life. My name is Toyah, I’m in my 50s, and I live in the little town of Taihape, surrounded by far too many houseplants, two cats, three dogs and two much-loved horses (who are companions, not riding horses, they live 10mins drive). I’ve been welcoming helpers into my home for around 18 years, and some of the beautiful friendships we’ve made have lasted long after they’ve left. I love the cultural exchange, the interesting conversations, the laughter, and the unexpected little adventures that come from sharing a home with people from different parts of the world. My home has been described by a previous helper as a *cabinet of curiosities*, which probably sums it up rather well! It’s an old villa filled with plants, art, unusual treasures, colour and character. D...

Hello travellers, and a warm welcome to beautiful Olinda - I am Vita and delighted to host you. **Currently seeking Helper/s who can work in the garden or use a chainsaw to cut fire wood. Or a carpenter who can help repair weather damaged external timber windows. Or someone with mechanical experience to service chainsaw and lawn mowers. Or a Helper with sewing skills and can use a sewing machine. Or a helper who can restore and refinish furniture. I appreciate self-starters and Helpers with initiative, who do not always need to be told what to do and are capable of putting in a full days work. Weeding and garden work is always a go-to if you are waiting instructions. Helpers will sometimes be left to work by themselves as I don’t always have time to supervise them. Therefore, Helpers who can help with l...

Hi Lovely Help Exchangers Looking for a Sydney host early in November 2026? Need helpers to be here on the 9th and days around then. I’m looking for two people travelling together for 5 to 7 days. Can be a couple or two friends. Staying here you can walk to surf beaches, wetlands and a lake. Sometimes you can hear the surf from the house. I usually have several projects to do, along with tidying and gardening. Since I’m short and have limits on what I can do after having both knees replaced last year, jobs that involve reaching high places or need two people are a priority. The projects depend on my priorities, your skills and how long you stay. You will get a task list. I currently need everything fixed up and beautifully prepared for home swap guests. Tasks might include: • Weeding and pruning the garden • Improving the lawn – aerating, watering and seeding • General handy jobs such as drilling to install shelves, preparing site for new shed, installing blinds • Spring cleaning...

Stays of up to ONE WEEK - SUNDAY to SATURDAY are our preference but we may also consider longer stays so just ask. Our unique property, 'Raintrees Native and Rainforest Gardens' is located just one kilometre from DIAMOND BEACH at Hallidays Point on the NSW Mid North Coast. Diamond Beach, Shelly Beach, and Redhead are within easy walking distance from the property, but we'll drive you to Black Head Beach and several other quiet secluded beaches which are just a short 5-minute drive away. Many of our guests like to walk back from Black Head Beach along the beach to our property. We'll also show you around Forster-Tuncurry, Taree, Harrington, and Crowdy Head and when possible, even as far north as Port Macquarie and south as far as Pacific Palms and Seal Rocks. Diamond Beach is located centrally in one of the most scenically beautiful (Average Temperature 26 Degrees Celsius) regions of Australia with the Myall Lakes, Smith Lake, Seal Rocks, and Pacific Palms one hour to the south and Lau...

Come Spend Some Time in the Coromandel 🌿 We have beaches, we have forests, and we have a very casual relationship with clocks. We’re a couple in our 40s–50s looking for people to share our piece of wilderness with. We have two somewhat manic cats, but we ourselves are fairly chill. Over the years we’ve tried a wide range of hobbies and crafts, from home brewing and cheesemaking to glass blowing and hang gliding (some more current than others!). We enjoy meeting creative people and giving everything a go. We’ve travelled through Scandinavia and Asia and look forward to travelling again, but for now we travel vicariously through our visitors’ stories — and love helping you make the most of your adventures in New Zealand. Our property is 26 hectares of regenerating native bush, with a stream, waterfalls, swimming holes, glow worms, and plenty of space to explore. We’re close to Whitianga, Hot Water Beach, and Cathedral Cove, yet the home itself is tucked into the forest where you can ...

Would like to learn and look after a vineyard and winery this season, no experience is necessary. Established in 1998 and hosting HELPXers for over 15 years, it is the only certified organic winery in the Perth region. It is situated in the Swan Valley, 7km from Elenbrook and 15km from the Perth airport. The vineyard has 3,000 vines, a large house we live in, a machinery shed, and a winery/distillery on the property. Winemaking occurs during the summer months from January to March. A large, spacious room with a double bed, attached to the house, has a private entrance. Applications for mature couples as applicants are now open. Opportunities for vineyard and maintenance work are available. Couples with Visitor Visas are also welcome. I want (NON-smoking and non-vaping) volunteers who wish to experience domestic, distillery, vineyard, and winemaking work. During the season, there are generally outdoor activities, such as winery and vine work, plus gardening if it is not raining o...

Hi there Traveler We offer a farm stay with great views and good conversation. We chopped down a pine forest and replanted with Manuka about 4 years ago so it’s starting to look really great, and more native birds are about. Established a wetland reserve as well. Also we are developing another small retreat area that needs assistance with tracks and tree management. Some stock work is all so on offer but we will work with you all the time as it’s safer and more fun. cheers and safe travels Geoff and Declan

Would like an energetic couple or single person to help out with gardening, and housework. We would expect about 4-5 hours help a day in return for free accommodation and meals. Large bedroom and own bathroom. We have animals so, would prefer someone who enjoyed them being around. There are many wonderful places to explore in Hawkes Bay when you are not working. Fantastic cycle ways, tramping trips into the native bush areas, beaches and wonderful wineries. Prefer you to have your own car to get around and beable to see the region.

We are looking for a couple or two friends to stay for a couple of weeks or more if agreed. We are maintaining our property for sale and we need to keep in condition. There is work removing trees, tidying up the garden and removing debris from the fires and recent storms. There is also cleaning work helping Cate with property management. During free time you are welcome to borrow our electric scooters and go swimming and exploring. We live in Mallacoota, one of Australia's most beautiful places on the southeast coast. It is a World Biosphere Reserve in the middle of the Croajingolong National Park next to the ocean with an estuarine lake system and many, many beaches. We are 2km from the town centre and 3km from the nearest beach. There are about seven magnificent beaches within 10km of us.

Welcome to our little haven in West Auckland! 🌿 We are a family with a little one, a few dogs and cats and a busy life! We love meeting new people from all walks of life. We really enjoyed our own HelpX experiences back in the day, and now we’d love to open our home to travellers and give someone else that same experience! We’re looking for a helping hand with general gardening, weeding, fence painting, light repairs, cleaning and other bits and pieces around the property/home. Nothing too fancy, just a variety of practical tasks to help us keep everything running smoothly. We offer private accommodation in a separate house with one double bed, in return for 3 hours of help per day, per person, with weekends off. Meals are self-catered, and we will discuss tasks and schedules together so it's a good experience for everyone =) We live in a little haven in West Auckland, with a park, beach and tennis court all within walking distance. There’s public transport nearby, and we’re surro...

Kia Ora and hello helpers, We're Chris and Meri. We live on a little farm with some really beautiful rural views and with native birds & bush with a beautiful little bush stream that runs through the property where we're gradually planting and restoring the natural environment with many hundreds of native plants. We run a little flock of South Suffolk Sheep, we have some free Range Brown Shaver Chickens, Khaki Campbell Ducks (perfect eggs for baking!), we have a pair of very rare Cape Barren Geese and we also have a little fruit tree Orchard too. We enjoy good conversation, cooking and sharing good food (and favourite recipes) with others and your stay wouldn't be complete without experiencing a few of Meri's traditional yummy Indonesian styled dishes. We share making meals together and welcome helpers to help make some of the meals too 😋. As a Christian husband and wife couple, we're of course not perfect people but we do try to be kind, helpful to others that we meet and to b...

We are a family of four living on five picturesque acres in a beautiful valley in the Perth Hills, Western Australia. Our property is home to a large garden with fruit trees, ornamental trees, ponds and garden beds, as well as a small flock of chickens and our two friendly dogs. With two teenage children and busy family lives, we're looking to welcome couples who would enjoy helping us care for our property while experiencing Australian family life. We especially value cultural exchange and enjoy meeting people from different backgrounds. While we strongly prefer couples, we may also consider singles who are a great fit. We also own a rural property in nearby Jarrahdale, so some tasks may take place there. Both properties are managed using biodynamic principles, and we have increasingly been incorporating permaculture practices into our land management. We are particularly interested in hearing from people who share these values or who are keen to learn more about regenerative agricu...

PLEASE READ MY WHOLE HOST PROFILE BEFORE YOU APPLY TO VISIT MY PLACE AND ASK ABOUT ANYTHING YOUR NOT CLEAR ON. Need help with a garden clean up, at the moment. You don't need to have an overwhelming desire to save the world, live off the land, or be more useful than a Swiss army knife, to stay here. A nice honest person is good enough. Your pronouns or political correctness are better off left in your backpack🤣😉 This is a relaxing place, close to nature, away from the backpacker trail on the coast but still got a bit happening, somewhere to recharge your batteries, do a bit of work, have a laugh and meet some real Aussies, maybe get out of your comfort zone a bit😜 My place is a cattle farm with one rough headed(inside and out 🤣,) skinny, old farmer, one dog, some cattle, lots of birds and wildlife, relaxing place, near Kyogle, a quiet country town. It is 1.5 hours drive west from Byron Bay, 2 hours south of Brisbane by train. Very close to the beautiful Border Ranges National...

We have space for helpers now at our homely hostel in Nelson and we'd love to hear from you. Cleaning work is around up to 2.5 hours a day with one day off a week to explore our beautiful region. We say minimum stay is 3 weeks but most stay a lot longer (sometimes many months) and now you get to keep a cool TBB Team T-shirt when you do!). In return for your work you get accommodation, breakfast & every night we serve up hot chocolate pudding and ice cream. Also free use of washing machine & free unlimited 24 hr wifi. Every week we have a shared lunch - usually home-made vege soup & bread and $ towards a shared meal with others doing a similar role. And sometimes the use of sauna/cold plunge. Tasks will be mainly helping to clean the hostel, but might also be gardening, painting, maintenance, etc..... there's always lots to do depending on your strengths and interests. We extra value people that are very keen, enthusiastic, and love to help out in any way to give our guests t...

Hello! I grew up in the Soviet Union and moved to the US when I was about 13 years old. These days, I'm 47 with two kids in college. They are usually home, as is my adopted mother. We live on a big wooded lot, an acre of which I would like to turn into a homestead, like the ones I remember from when I was a kid (dacha). So in exchange for the accommodations, I would need you to do about 4 hours of work every day. I do all the work around the house myself, so I'd be working beside you most of the time. Otherwise, I work/teach from home, so I'm always around here somewhere. It's a beautiful home, and you'd have your own private room in the house. In effect, you would be joining the family as my brother.

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. You will need your own internet connection as I don't supply wifi. A bit isolated, not for the precious, no trophy hunters!! 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. Vegetarians and vegans would probably not be comfortable as we eat meat daily. 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

Join us on our 6acre property, 30min inland from beautiful Pambula on the South Coast of NSW! We are after some help maintaining our property. This can involve anything from planting out the vegetable garden, to lawn mowing and cooking. All that's needed is a 'can do' attitude, a willingness to learn and a good sense of humour. Keep in mind that we do have two dogs, two cats and a whole bunch of chickens - so being an animal lover is a bonus! In return we offer accomodation, food and frequent trips in and around the valley to ensure that you get the most out of your stay on the Sapphire Coast. Our area is renowned for its pristine coast line, native animals and plants, and its untouched wilderness. A 1-2 week stay is ideal, with the option of extending. My 21 year old son lives with me part time inbetween bee keeping and studying, and my daughter and her family live on the coast - so there's plenty of family meals and adventures! We have a lot of experience hosting, but haven't for a ...

At our off- grid solar, wood and gravity powered homestead you can live very close to Nature and learn by helping, how to grow your own food in the big, fully caged vegie garden/ orchard and some of how to build a bush cabin (it could be a winning strategy in years to come). We are long term, committed advocates, for climate change action and we've lived with Sustainability and Creating a low "Carbon Footprint" in mind, for 40 yrs now, settling here, (inland of Taree / Port Macquarie) from scratch in 1980, on 680 acres of rocky ridge forest on the wild and steep NW edge of the Bulga Plateau, 500m above sea level (a very beautiful but challenging location)! Watch our YouTube video below, about our community and us, made by the very talented helpxer, Louie Ablett. Three of us live here now, myself 74, David 84 and Sue 64, who started as a WWOOFer and has moved here with the help of a voluntary activity agreement through Centrelink for over 55s'. Sue came in September 2019 , lost th...

We would like to hear from you if you are travelling through Central Otago and want to experience a stay well away from the tourist towns. On the 45th Parallel, at the base of the Dunstan Mountains is the remains of a tiny town from the gold rush days. Just a few properties remain, and help needed with a range of restoration jobs - mainly painting and mud brick repair. Also, so many tasks associated with running rural properties including animal care and lots of great dogs to walk in the most fabulous countryside. Pippa is the primary host. Having hosted over 1000 volunteers successfully, through various platforms at our previous property (Solve Sanctuary), I know how to make sure that people get matched to tasks they are keen to engage with and that suits the level of challenge you want. I love to welcome travelers to join in our projects and value the variety of skills and enthusiasm you bring. We have moved here to enjoy the very simple life, big skies, high country, ultra fresh a...

We are a couple in a neighborhood in the north-east area of Seattle, Washington. We are interested in hosting a person or two who could help with some yard work, maybe deep cleaning the kitchen, general house projects, etc. Also, Sally is involved in a house-reorganize project for her 89 year old mother that she would love help with. Short term stays are best for us (around a week, plus or minus). We ask for 3 hours of help per day (except for arrival and departure days). It's OK to work longer days and then take days off - we are flexible. You have your own bedroom & your own bathroom with shower to use on the lower level of our home.. We have two "kids", 25 and 27, all grown and moved away. The photo posted is really old! We enjoy meeting people from other cultures! Our home is near a bus line to the light rail train - 30 minutes to the city center. Walking distance to library, shops and cafes. You are welcome to borrow a bicycle to explore (be prepared for hills!)....

Overview: We are a Tibetan Buddhist Centre that welcomes HelpX volunteers interested in learning more about meditation, Buddhism and the spiritual life. Jobs are mainly cleaning, gardening and grounds work. We offer accommodation usually in our dorm room and free attendance at classes & meditations. Volunteers are responsible for their own food - but are welcome to also use fruit from the orchard and herbs from the garden (seasonal). We are a Registered Charitable Trust and rely on volunteers and donations. We do not have a large budget and are unable to provide food money to short-term volunteers. This is really a place for those that wish to learn more about Buddhism, live in our community and offer service for a short period (2 - 3 weeks). Living at a Buddhist Centre we ask you to respect the Lay Buddhist Precepts during your stay (ex. no killing, no lying, no stealing, no taking intoxicants, etc.) and be respectful of Centre residents. 4 good hours of work per day, 2 days off pe...

First and foremost, I want to thank all the helpers who came from United Kingdom-England, France, Belgium, Italy, China, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. Welcome Helpers. I live in the Appalachian Mountains of West Virginia. Peaceful Hollow is quite with no neighbors in sight. There are no city lights, and you can see every star on a clear night! Pleaseful Hollow consists of: my cabin,/workshop with a private guestroom with private entrance on the second floor, and a very small guest cabin.

Below are routines and some projects. I would love to involve you! - Caring for honey bees, chickens, cats, dogs, one gilt pig berkshire-tamworth with spots.. i am a fourth-generation beekeeper and has much knowledge to share. - General landscaping,. u...

We are a fit and active couple in our 70s who have recently bought a home (2021) right by the water on Lamb Island in Moreton Bay, 30km from Brisbane. It has great views over the bay and has good access to fishing, crabbing, safe swimming and boating. There is a fast and regular ferry to the mainland that takes 20 minutes. There are also several other islands nearby that can be explored including North Stradbroke Island that has wonderful beaches and walks and lots of wildlife including koalas, kangaroos, turtles and dolphin and - from June to October - humpback whales. Over the next two years we will renovate and paint the home, install new kitchen and two bathrooms. Graham has some woodworking skill but needs help during that time with various tasks and we are willing to give you a comfortable bed, good food and company and access to bathroom and washing machine in exchange for 4 hours help per day, 5 days per week. Our preference is for a single person or couple who have some skil...

We are looking for helpers who can help for a minimum of two weeks, but helpers who can stay a bit longer, up to six weeks, or similar, are particularly welcome. Most helpers arrive for two weeks and actually love it so much that they want to stay longer. 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 the freedom to explore locally. 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 mountains. You must enjoy w...

Room and simple breakfast of toast, tea or coffee, I can show you where to find free bread and there is generally some rice or pasta you can use, occasionally some fruit and vegetables, or other food included but not guaranteed. I have a minimum stay of 2 weeks and a maximum stay of 3 months. Ipswich is a lovely place in itself and is about an hours drive to Brisbane, about an hour to the Gold Coast, about an hour and a half to the Sunshine Coast or about an hour to the mountains in Toowoomba. Many visitors to Australia assume it will be hot here and in summer it is, in winter the temperature can be very cold. Make sure to pack some warm winter clothing if travelling in the winter months. I don't have fans or air conditioning so the temperature is what it is. It's hot in summer and cold in winter. Electricity has become too expensive for me to run heating or cooling appliances. I am not on a farm, it is a residential block in Ipswich. My house is small and cluttered and surrounded...

We are located in the heart of Berlin, one of Europe's most exciting and diverse cities. With its vibrant cultural scene, world-class museums, historic landmarks, countless cafés, parks, and excellent public transport. I would kindly ask you to help with painting, fencing, gardening, sweeping leaves, cleaning and maintaining the house, as well as feeding and caring for the animals. There is plenty of space to relax and enjoy your free time. You will have your own private room, and I will provide breakfast and one warm meal each day. If you enjoy cooking in a holistic and nutritious way, you are more than welcome to do so. I am always happy to share my knowledge about healthy food and learn from others as well.

Hi everyone! We have a beautiful property a short walk/drive away from a gorgeous New Zealand beach. We live 45 minutes from Hamilton and 20-25 minutes from Raglan. Our area is very remote - we have some neighbours but there are no shops here or public transport, just farmland. So if you enjoy being away from cities and people then this is the place for you! Our property suits people who enjoy the outdoors and surfing, hiking, walking, animals, solitude. There is a beautiful mountain right by our house for hiking, great surfing and fishing in the area, and Raglan (a little over 20 minutes away) which is a vibrant and energetic little beach town with world famous surf. This exchange is for accommodation only. We have a cabin with a big bed and beautiful views of the farmland and mountain and sea. There is a kitchenette for you to keep and cook your own food. The bathroom is about 20 metres away from the cabin and it is a composting toilet with shower that does the job but is gravity-f...

Come share a little magic in Taihape Hello, beautiful people I’m looking for one or two lovely souls to share my quirky old villa, enjoy the company of my wonderful animal family, and help bring my garden and home back to life. My name is Toyah, I’m in my 50s, and I live in the little town of Taihape, surrounded by far too many houseplants, two cats, three dogs and two much-loved horses (who are companions, not riding horses, they live 10mins drive). I’ve been welcoming helpers into my home for around 18 years, and some of the beautiful friendships we’ve made have lasted long after they’ve left. I love the cultural exchange, the interesting conversations, the laughter, and the unexpected little adventures that come from sharing a home with people from different parts of the world. My home has been described by a previous helper as a *cabinet of curiosities*, which probably sums it up rather well! It’s an old villa filled with plants, art, unusual treasures, colour and character. D...

Hello travellers, and a warm welcome to beautiful Olinda - I am Vita and delighted to host you. **Currently seeking Helper/s who can work in the garden or use a chainsaw to cut fire wood. Or a carpenter who can help repair weather damaged external timber windows. Or someone with mechanical experience to service chainsaw and lawn mowers. Or a Helper with sewing skills and can use a sewing machine. Or a helper who can restore and refinish furniture. I appreciate self-starters and Helpers with initiative, who do not always need to be told what to do and are capable of putting in a full days work. Weeding and garden work is always a go-to if you are waiting instructions. Helpers will sometimes be left to work by themselves as I don’t always have time to supervise them. Therefore, Helpers who can help with l...

Hi Lovely Help Exchangers Looking for a Sydney host early in November 2026? Need helpers to be here on the 9th and days around then. I’m looking for two people travelling together for 5 to 7 days. Can be a couple or two friends. Staying here you can walk to surf beaches, wetlands and a lake. Sometimes you can hear the surf from the house. I usually have several projects to do, along with tidying and gardening. Since I’m short and have limits on what I can do after having both knees replaced last year, jobs that involve reaching high places or need two people are a priority. The projects depend on my priorities, your skills and how long you stay. You will get a task list. I currently need everything fixed up and beautifully prepared for home swap guests. Tasks might include: • Weeding and pruning the garden • Improving the lawn – aerating, watering and seeding • General handy jobs such as drilling to install shelves, preparing site for new shed, installing blinds • Spring cleaning...

Stays of up to ONE WEEK - SUNDAY to SATURDAY are our preference but we may also consider longer stays so just ask. Our unique property, 'Raintrees Native and Rainforest Gardens' is located just one kilometre from DIAMOND BEACH at Hallidays Point on the NSW Mid North Coast. Diamond Beach, Shelly Beach, and Redhead are within easy walking distance from the property, but we'll drive you to Black Head Beach and several other quiet secluded beaches which are just a short 5-minute drive away. Many of our guests like to walk back from Black Head Beach along the beach to our property. We'll also show you around Forster-Tuncurry, Taree, Harrington, and Crowdy Head and when possible, even as far north as Port Macquarie and south as far as Pacific Palms and Seal Rocks. Diamond Beach is located centrally in one of the most scenically beautiful (Average Temperature 26 Degrees Celsius) regions of Australia with the Myall Lakes, Smith Lake, Seal Rocks, and Pacific Palms one hour to the south and Lau...

Come Spend Some Time in the Coromandel 🌿 We have beaches, we have forests, and we have a very casual relationship with clocks. We’re a couple in our 40s–50s looking for people to share our piece of wilderness with. We have two somewhat manic cats, but we ourselves are fairly chill. Over the years we’ve tried a wide range of hobbies and crafts, from home brewing and cheesemaking to glass blowing and hang gliding (some more current than others!). We enjoy meeting creative people and giving everything a go. We’ve travelled through Scandinavia and Asia and look forward to travelling again, but for now we travel vicariously through our visitors’ stories — and love helping you make the most of your adventures in New Zealand. Our property is 26 hectares of regenerating native bush, with a stream, waterfalls, swimming holes, glow worms, and plenty of space to explore. We’re close to Whitianga, Hot Water Beach, and Cathedral Cove, yet the home itself is tucked into the forest where you can ...

Would like to learn and look after a vineyard and winery this season, no experience is necessary. Established in 1998 and hosting HELPXers for over 15 years, it is the only certified organic winery in the Perth region. It is situated in the Swan Valley, 7km from Elenbrook and 15km from the Perth airport. The vineyard has 3,000 vines, a large house we live in, a machinery shed, and a winery/distillery on the property. Winemaking occurs during the summer months from January to March. A large, spacious room with a double bed, attached to the house, has a private entrance. Applications for mature couples as applicants are now open. Opportunities for vineyard and maintenance work are available. Couples with Visitor Visas are also welcome. I want (NON-smoking and non-vaping) volunteers who wish to experience domestic, distillery, vineyard, and winemaking work. During the season, there are generally outdoor activities, such as winery and vine work, plus gardening if it is not raining o...

Hi there Traveler We offer a farm stay with great views and good conversation. We chopped down a pine forest and replanted with Manuka about 4 years ago so it’s starting to look really great, and more native birds are about. Established a wetland reserve as well. Also we are developing another small retreat area that needs assistance with tracks and tree management. Some stock work is all so on offer but we will work with you all the time as it’s safer and more fun. cheers and safe travels Geoff and Declan

Would like an energetic couple or single person to help out with gardening, and housework. We would expect about 4-5 hours help a day in return for free accommodation and meals. Large bedroom and own bathroom. We have animals so, would prefer someone who enjoyed them being around. There are many wonderful places to explore in Hawkes Bay when you are not working. Fantastic cycle ways, tramping trips into the native bush areas, beaches and wonderful wineries. Prefer you to have your own car to get around and beable to see the region.

We are looking for a couple or two friends to stay for a couple of weeks or more if agreed. We are maintaining our property for sale and we need to keep in condition. There is work removing trees, tidying up the garden and removing debris from the fires and recent storms. There is also cleaning work helping Cate with property management. During free time you are welcome to borrow our electric scooters and go swimming and exploring. We live in Mallacoota, one of Australia's most beautiful places on the southeast coast. It is a World Biosphere Reserve in the middle of the Croajingolong National Park next to the ocean with an estuarine lake system and many, many beaches. We are 2km from the town centre and 3km from the nearest beach. There are about seven magnificent beaches within 10km of us. Mallacoota is 540km from Melbourne, 630km from Sydney and 360km from Canberra with limited access via public transport so keep that in mind when planning your schedule. Our family includes M...

Bonjour, et bienvenue ! [English follows] Du potager,de la construction,des projets dans la forêt... 🤗 Nous sommes heureux de pouvoir vous accueillir chez nous pour une 6e année consécutive ! Voici une petite idée de qui nous sommes, et de notre environnement ! *Nous ! Nous sommes un couple dans la fin trentaine et nous avons une petite fille, née en mars 2022. Nous partageons aussi notre quotidien avec Gaïa, notre adorable chienne. Nous avons découvert le HelpX lors d’un voyage d’un an en Nouvelle-Zélande et riche de ces nombreuses expériences, nous en avons refait à notre retour au Québec. Nous avions hâte d’être chez nous afin de poursuivre l’aventure en tant que hôtes, le HelpX nous ayant amené là où nous sommes aujourd’hui. Notre but à travers cette démarche est d’échanger sur nos expériences mutuelles, de partager des moments enrichissants et de vivre de belles rencontres. À plus ou moins court terme, nous souhaitons vivre le plus localement possible, grâce à nos cultures qu...
