Hi, my name is Mary. I live on the border of NSW and Victoria, a town called Albury. I am looking for some help with different jobs,such as gardening ,vacuuming and general tidying up.The work isn't hard and I usually get people to do it early before it gets too hot and then you can have your time.There is a train service to Albury from Sydney about 8 hours and Melbourne about 3.5hours train trip. I am happy to pick someone from the Albury railway station. Albury is a pretty town on the Hume Highway. It is inland on the Murray River and there are a lot of local attractions, vineyards, historical small towns, snow fields and many more, only a few hours drive. I am located in town, with the railway station and the airport not too far, about 15 minutes drive. I am fully vaccinated and require the same of a helper. I only take Non-smokers (meaning you do not smoke at all, outside as well). Currently I am asking for 2.5hrs a day for board only.You can cook for yourselves, buy supplies l...

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

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

Hello Helpers, Welcome on the Rock, as Japanese say the closest place to heaven! "le Caillou", the rock in French is our local New Caledonia's nickname. My boat Centaure is hoping for for a next haul-out and a bit of maintenance too ! She is a 1967' 46" traditional steel sloop, and I'm back in Nouméa after 16 months overseas, this is my home. Like any boat space is limited but it feels nice and comfy. Else, I've got to get the meat down for maintenance. Of course this is a big task, but for who wishes to know both sides of any world sailing experience, you shall be fully welcome if you wish to help me out! For who wishes to stay onboard, I'm comfortable with either short weekend requests or long term ones. I would rather welcome people who already have a know-how to hold a paintbrush or a screw driver, or more... but don't consider it as a limitation. As your leisure time and discovering the island, there is fishing gear, kayak a dinguy, snorkeling equipment and a good contact with...

I am an aquatic ecologist who has fortunately been working out of our coastal rain-forest property for 35 years. Driven by strong curiosity, I have recently been developing long-term data sets on the animal life in the forest that surrounds our home, plus on tropical marine fish that are steadily increasing in numbers under the influence of climate change at the nearby very beautiful Seal Rocks area (for details click on my website link below). We have 20 acres with 2 acres cleared and the remainder moist tall forest and rainforest. It is on the coast 3 hrs drive north of Sydney (1.5km from Smiths Lake; 30km south of Forster) See my blog link below to glimpse the accommodation, typical work and fun. We have a 180 squ m vegetable garden at times needing attention which has been enclosed to keep out our friends the wallabies (pademelons), possums, parrots and native bush turkeys. Bush regeneration is another activity as well as assisting in ecological surveys of local rivers when t...

(La description en français se trouve plus bas !) We are a small Buddhist community living in the forest close to Sainte-Julienne, Quebec. We have an organic fruit tree nursery, along with many other projects on our land: several fruit orchards, chickens and bees, growing our own vegetables and herbs and trying to be independent in many ways. The five people who are staying are: Ajan, Eric, Veronique, Natalie and Camille. Each of us have arrived here one by one, at first just interested in helping out in the place, and then as we found that this lifestyle was for us, deciding to stay for longer. For part of the year we also have a couple of employees staying with us. There is also a wonderful dog named Dali. Our organic nursery and garden occupies a land of 9 hectares, surrounded by forest. As well as the main land of the nursery, we have another smaller land where a few of us live. This is, in fact, where the community started to grow from very small beginnings in the early 2000s, ...

We're Rob (32) and Strachan ("Strawn") (31), an engaged couple living on Auckland's beautiful North Shore, just a 4 minute walk from Waiake Beach. We love meeting people from around the world and have both done plenty of travelling ourselves, so we're excited to open our home to fellow travellers.

Sourdough is the next challenge. We live very simply but well. Our home is a basic old farmhouse cottage, which is homey, with a wood burner. Accommodation is in the house in a spare room. We n...

What we do: We take care of animals, we grow organic food, we prepare and eat tasty vegan meals, we minimize our impact on the earth, and we enjoy the company of our Costa Rican friends and neighbors.

Welcome! Our family owned and operated certified organic livestock farm in North Central British Columbia is excited to have you stay and become a part of everything we have going on.

Hello friends, Welcome! -- How I'm on HelpX -- You have found an old profile (I have hosted more than 10 times - just most people forget to leave a reference!), in quite a new situation! It is about 8 years since I stopped traveling myself and came back to my hometown. I got to know this platform when I was a student in Kefalonia island and I met some very interesting people who were travelling using helpx. This is what inspired me to create my own profile when I returned at the countryside, to meet again interesting people and share creative time together! -- About me -- I am a musician (composer,guitarist and singer) - I study music all my life and have been playing with several bands - though I like doing many other different things. Recently I have started studies on homeopathy and I aim this to be my future job. Here in the countryside I work in agriculture and gardening.
