We are a cultural and arts community that is working towards being self-sustained. The community is situated in the mountains of Monchique, Portugal surrounded by nature. Our community provides an alternative way of living with permaculture gardens, farm animals, sustainability projects, and arts and cultural workshops. It is a great place to come to meet other like-minded people if you are passionate about sustainability and alternative living. We hold community meetings throughout the week alongside activities and workshops, such as quiz nights, dance nights and yoga classes. If you have something you are passionate about and want to share with others, we would love for you to run a workshop. One of the best things here is the variety of tasks you can do as a volunteer, which gives you the opportunity to learn new skills and discover what you enjoy doing most. We have a combination of short-term and long-term volunteers and on average we have between 10 to 20 volunteers and resident...

Kia Ora travellers! I live with my dog, Nala, in a beautiful big and warm house on a 27 acre life style block with native bush and a little creek. I have an organic vegetable garden and orchard growing fresh vegetables, hazelnuts, walnuts and chestnuts. You can also enjoy great views of the Banks Peninsula from here, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It’s only 1 hour away from Christchurch city and 30 mins from Akaroa, a lovely seaside town with a rich French heritage. I used to be a Tour Guide for overseas tourists, so I know every nook and cranny of the Great Aotearoa. I would be happy to share with you our culture, history and many stories. I also used to host overseas backpackers when living in Christchurch and I always enjoy having company and learning about cultural differences. There is plenty to do to keep busy and be creative - planting trees, pruning, cleaning up bonfires, getting stuck into the big garden. Work hours are flexible and will be max 4 hours (mos...

Our family runs a western riding facility with 30 stalls, where we provide horse boarding and training, including reining and cow work. We also have a western saloon, where we host weddings, special events, and are open for our club members on weekends. In return for cleaning out stalls and feeding horses (and the odd other job), we offer room and board, sorry we cannot host vegetarians; we include you in family activities and you have the possibility to improve your riding skills in western riding (cow work and reining) in our 30 x 60 m arena and - how about -learning some line dancing!! A bicycle is available, if you want to explore the near surroundings. We are located close to Switzerland, it`s about a 15 minutes car ride to Basle, and also only about 20 minutes to Germany. Our area is a great tourist region. If you are mature, fit and self-motivated, willing to stay for a minimum of 2 weeks, experienced with handling horses, we would be happy to hear from you!

We live on a property of 23 acres/9 hectares. It is primarily native bushland with some fruit and nut trees. There is plenty of space to walk in nature, feel the tranquility, hear the bird songs, and maybe glimpse a Kangaroo,Koala or Possum. As it has 2 buildings. One is our home where we all eat together and the other one is the Wellbeing. You would stay in the dormitory in the well-being building. It has 2 rooms with bunk beds in each and WIFI. At the moment we have chickens, 2 little dogs, and a cat. We are developing veggie gardens and need help with the garden, ride on mowing, painting cooking, cleaning etc. Our diet is: we eat everything but mostly have vegetarian meals. We are not living on a bus route. So we can pick you up from Mount barker. Our farm is 7 km out of Mount Barker. All our children have moved out of the home so just my partner, Urs and I live here. He speaks German and Swiss but I speak only English. TV watching is not our thing but we love watching a film on ...

Glorious views from the Thames Coast on the beautiful Coromandel Peninsula! Enjoy home brew, home made breads and fresh fish.. Plenty of local adventures: bush crash up the stream, swim at the beach across the road, come fishing with me on the kayaks. Take the bikes, pedal 2km to Waiomu; then tramp/jog to some beautiful Kauri (1/2 to 3/4hr). Do an overnighter to The Pinnacles Hut up the Kauranga Valley if yr into vast iconic views and like tramping. If you have wheels you can do great day trips around the Peninsula. And if yr more chill, Thames has some great op-shops or hangout here and make art. Debs & I are happy, retired on the endless holiday, loving every second left ! However, we seriously need help with the massive task of 296: gardens to create & jungle to clear ! We'd love to host you if you like a bit of fun and you know what mutual respect means. When Debs & I started hosting in 2025 we moved to the sleepout making it possible to host helpers from different cultures ...

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...

I have a large comfortable, warm home on a lifestyle block, 10 minutes to Tokoroa and Putaruru. There is a furnished double room for you with a shared modern bathroom in a private guest wing of the house. The house overlooks a lovely garden and orchard. I live on my own with Lucy the cat. I am super busy at work until Christmas so need some help at home. The work involves cooking meals for all of us each night, keeping the garden tidy and doing some maintenance like painting. My house is close to the Blue Springs and Te Waihou Walkway (about 15 minutes) and about 40 minutes to Hobbiton so close to the main visitor attractions in the area. I have a cheese factory in Putaruru so can teach you some cheesemaking if you like cheese!

We have hosted many people - from Japan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Korea, China, America, Germany, Uruguay, Austria, Czech Republic and France. We also used to host paying travellers via www.airbnb.com. We love meeting new people and learning about their culture. It keeps life fun and interesting. We are a Family of 4. Mum, Dad, 2 boys age 24 and 19. It's just Susan and John here now, but nearby is our son's and daughter-n-law, in their 20's who come over sometimes too for a meal and a spa :) Our small farm has Cattle, Goats, and Cats. The beautiful Muriwai Beach, Gannet Colony and Woodhill Forest are nearby. Lots of nearby Native Bush Walks. Don't hesitate to ask any questions! ***REMEMBER that New Zealand law requires you to have a work permit/visa for this type of work***

Bonjour à tous (English version below) Je m’appelle Alix et suis une mère de famille de 66 ans. C'est ma 1ère expérience en tant que "host". Je recherche uniquement des germanophones/anglophones car je souhaite aussi (à l’occasion d’échanges entre nous) pouvoir converser en allemand/anglais pour améliorer mon niveau. Pas de souci si vous ne parlez pas le français !!! Pour le reste, il s’agit de travaux de ménage à faire ainsi que la préparation des repas : française ou autre. Pour les repas de midi et du soir, nous mangeons ensemble… c’est mieux pour discuter de tout et de rien… selon la formule !!! La gastronomie joue un rôle très important dans les familles françaises : je n’ai pas besoin d’un « Master chef » mais je ne rechigne pas sur les bons petits plats : si vous saviez cuisiner, ce serait parfait. A rajouter à ceci (si vous avez quelques compétences dans ces domaines-là) : l’entretien du jardin et quelques petits travaux de rénovation si besoin. La maison est une villa t...

We live on a 5 acre hobby farm in the beautiful Huon Valley, Southern Tasmania. Our family consists of three young adult children (two live at home), two horses, many chickens, ducks, geese, goats and two gorgeous dogs. We grow organic vegetables and breed heritage chickens in an attempt to be more sustainable. Jobs involve general gardening, helping with the animals and housekeeping. If you would like a Tassie small farm experience message us with some details of the work you have previously done. We have separate accommodation, with a bathroom. All our HelpXers have loved working and living with us and I hope you will too (please remember Tassie is a cold place in winter). There are many areas of natural beauty in Southern Tasmania which are all fairly close to us. For example, the Hartz mountains, Hastings Caves and the Tahune Airwalk. We live close to a sleepy village called Cygnet and Hobart is only a 40min drive away. (Unfortunately we can't approve 2nd year visas)

Hello. We live on a historic property located in the hills of Echo Park, which is between Silver Lake/Hollywood and Downtown in Los Angeles, CA. We're also adjacent to Elysian Park. We are one mile from Sunset Blvd where there are buses and transit to access the rest of LA. There are 8 historic homes and the stables on 5 acres. We often need help in making repairs, maintenance, painting, helping out with the horses and gardening, sweeping or raking. I am rebuilding one of the adobe houses in the next few months and will need an assistant to help me out with a few tasks. We will be doing some carpentry mostly but also some plastering and other tasks. Any help is very much appreciated. There are always fun projects to work on. We also occasionally need help with some light domestic work, like dusting, washing dishes, washing windows, etc. If you have childcare experience, we'd love to hear from you!

I have a two family house about 10 minutes north of Boston by car. It's on the bus line, as well as a short walk to the subway. The work is some outside maintenance, some dog walking, some small painting projects, gardening, sewing, organizing, cleaning, daily chores around the house... I am seeking a helper or two. Creativity is welcome, as I have approximately 32 art projects planned (such as eg. building a large figure (maybe an insect) from repurposed/recycled materials, redoing a wattle fence, or a wine bottle project). I also plan on clearing out my basement and need help with that- it’s full of tools and stuff. Lots of stuff 🙂 I am a licensed mental health counselor, retired but still working part-time. I also have 3 dogs and 3 cats, so don’t be allergic to fur

If you like mountains, wildlife and exercise and you are interested in a true country experience this is the place to be. We would welcome any help and would love people to share their organic knowledge with us. No experience is necessary just enthusiasm and a love of the outdoors. Throughout the year we have a wide variety of tasks to do. In April our few cows are calving and we often complete some small building projects and fix fences on the pastures In May we may be doing field work the fields and we also plant the vegetable garden in May and June. In July we are haying, building and fixing fences, gardening, hand pulling invasive weed species, harvesting garlic. There are tasks for all skill levels and strengths so don't be afraid to join us. Remember that being a farmer is about growing food, thus growing food for the cattle and for ourselves is our main occupation. July and the beginning of August are the busiest time of year for the farmer with the 1st cut of hay and...

Welcome to Paradise for Dog Lovers, Nature Enthusiasts & Handy Helpers! 🐾🌿☀️ Do you love dogs? Good—because we are involved in Shar Pei dog rescue and always have adorable ones who’ll steal your heart! 🐶🐶🐶 We're a warm, easy-going Canadian/English couple living in a serene sanctuary on the edge of Ku-ring-gai National Park, with breathtaking bush views and daily visits from native wildlife. We're seeking friendly, capable people to help us care for our home and beautiful bushland garden—especially someone with carpentry or gardening skills. While a green thumb is appreciated, the dogs’ well-being is our top priority, so animal lovers are a must! When you're not lending a hand, unwind in our pool, or explore hundreds of kilometres of pristine bush trails right outside our door. And if you’re craving a bit of city life, Sydney’s vibrant centre is just a short trip away. We love cooking, bushwalking, and making the most of everything this stunning region offers—and we’d love to share...

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

Dog Sitting, Central North Island My wife and I want to go overseas in late Dec - mid Jan Looking for someone to accompany and help look after our retired Pomeranian dog. He's 16 years old and just needs a bit of extra attention in his old age. My mum will also be staying in the house, but she has difficulty lifting and bending and is a bit slow, so we need someone to help her with the dog. It's really not a major responsibility. Our dog sleeps nearly all day, but he needs to be carried in and out of the house as he's getting old and slow. He needs his food morning and night, on time, and generally just needs someone around when he wants something, which is usually either food or a bathroom break. He's actually in excellent health and can still run around and get excited now and then, but he naturally needs a little extra care these days. Our house is in Raetihi, New Zealand, close to the famous Tongariro Alpine Crossing, a location many overseas tourists want to visit. I also own...

We moved back to Dunedin 10 years ago and since have made the garden more diverse by taking out a hedge to plant some native trees to provide better habitat for birds, insects,etc. There is now general upkeep and maintenance in the garden, including some tree and shrub cutting back, and some plants to be moved to more suitable locations within the garden. I focus on growing good organic vegetables, but also enjoy my flower garden. We have a 9 year old dog, Mocha. She was a rescue puppy, and is a Huntaway cross. We have a clean comfortable home, can cook vegetarian or vegan meals if required and are on a bus route which takes 8 - 10 min to the centre of Dunedin.

Not currently available Experience sustainable, self-sufficient living in the Hinterland of Queensland’s beautiful Sunshine Coast - orchards, rainforest, creek with swimming hole, vegetable gardens, ocean views, and farm animals. We are an international couple (Aussie & German) in our 40s and are looking for a friendly couple or two friends to share our little paradise and help with some of our current projects. There are lots of opportunities to learn and become a part of the story of this farm - from helping with our permaculture gardens and orchards, looking after the animals, to getting involved in ecosystem restoration efforts along our rainforest creek. If you bring any other skills helpful in creating and building our little oasis, we would love to learn from you!

We are near the Shoalwater Marine Park and Penguin Island 40mins from Perth city centre. Very close to public transport, cafes and library. Ideal for beach walking, diving, swimming, cycling, fishing, sailing and windsurfing (beach is 60 metres away). Accommodation would take form of a fully insulated cute tiny garden room with access to undercover cooking area and bathroom. IT is small so please See photos. On week days we are usually working in Perth so we cant provide meals, but a well-stocked supermarket is 200 metres away. When possible we can take turns for meals if possible. We average 2/3 hours a day painting, plumbing gardening and other repairs and can negotiate best time to do that, for example maybe it’s more convenient to do two longer days during the week.Greg is usually available to help you with your car or take you fishing, boating or sightseeing if you’re willing to free him up from his other commitments.

We are a family of four living on a lifestyle block in the beautiful Wairarapa, with the entrance to the Tararua Forest park just up the road. There you will find some great tramping, walking, mountain biking and a cool swing bridge across the river and a great swimming hole during summer. On our block we have a small herd of cattle, some sheep, a lamb and a pony along side many birds living in the local landscape. We are presently looking for helpers for painting, gardening and looking after animals. We ask for an average of three hours of work a day in exchange for food and accommodation. The accommodation best suits a couple. We are 15 mins drive from Greytown and Carterton. Non-smokers only please. Please let us know if you have any special food requirements or allergies which might need to be considered during your stay.

Our Ecovillage (established1999) is looking towards a creative and fun season of committed volunteers who wish to work within a collective project opportunity. We are working on the next 25yr Vision and with this are building a very large public art installation project (earthen/cob Dragon sculpture with lots of mosaic work!). Our 'regenerative living learning journey' forms the platform for the efforts we put towards making a difference in the world. We work within intercultural/intergenerational/interfaith/inter-nation restorative justice framework on our farm and work with research teams on soil/wastewater/energy systems design/etc, and permaculture education projects with learners from local to global! This means we are working with: the gardens, livestock/poultry, food forests, natural building (earthen, strawbale, plaster projects, finishing work, carpentry, etc), food preservation, yummy kitchen crafting for shared meals, mosaic and mural artwork, supporting Eco-tourism &...

Our small farm (https://little-farm.com.au) sits in Northern Victoria, where we grow fruit and vegetables, plant trees, and learn as we go. Tim, a retired engineer, is always building or fixing something. Beth is a teacher and health practitioner who also teaches at university. She tends a rose garden of over 400 fragrant bushes. Early mornings here smell incredible. The property includes an organic vegetable garden, orchard, berries, herbs, and a music room with a baby grand piano. If you play, bring your instrument. We’re close to the Murray River. Big skies, glowing sunrises and sunsets, and rich birdlife surround us. Magpies are part of daily life here, in sound and in art across the farm. Nights are clear and full of stars. Many people arrive tired and leave feeling genuinely restored.

We are a cultural and arts community that is working towards being self-sustained. The community is situated in the mountains of Monchique, Portugal surrounded by nature. Our community provides an alternative way of living with permaculture gardens, farm animals, sustainability projects, and arts and cultural workshops. It is a great place to come to meet other like-minded people if you are passionate about sustainability and alternative living. We hold community meetings throughout the week alongside activities and workshops, such as quiz nights, dance nights and yoga classes. If you have something you are passionate about and want to share with others, we would love for you to run a workshop.

We have a combination of short-term and long-term volunteers and on average we have between 10 to 20 volunteers and resident...

Kia Ora travellers! I live with my dog, Nala, in a beautiful big and warm house on a 27 acre life style block with native bush and a little creek. I have an organic vegetable garden and orchard growing fresh vegetables, hazelnuts, walnuts and chestnuts. You can also enjoy great views of the Banks Peninsula from here, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It’s only 1 hour away from Christchurch city and 30 mins from Akaroa, a lovely seaside town with a rich French heritage. I used to be a Tour Guide for overseas tourists, so I know every nook and cranny of the Great Aotearoa. I would be happy to share with you our culture, history and many stories. I also used to host overseas backpackers when living in Christchurch and I always enjoy having company and learning about cultural differences. There is plenty to do to keep busy and be creative - planting trees, pruning, cleaning up bonfires, getting stuck into the big garden. Work hours are flexible and will be max 4 hours (mos...

Our family runs a western riding facility with 30 stalls, where we provide horse boarding and training, including reining and cow work. We also have a western saloon, where we host weddings, special events, and are open for our club members on weekends. In return for cleaning out stalls and feeding horses (and the odd other job), we offer room and board, sorry we cannot host vegetarians; we include you in family activities and you have the possibility to improve your riding skills in western riding (cow work and reining) in our 30 x 60 m arena and - how about -learning some line dancing!! A bicycle is available, if you want to explore the near surroundings. We are located close to Switzerland, it`s about a 15 minutes car ride to Basle, and also only about 20 minutes to Germany. Our area is a great tourist region. If you are mature, fit and self-motivated, willing to stay for a minimum of 2 weeks, experienced with handling horses, we would be happy to hear from you!

We live on a property of 23 acres/9 hectares. It is primarily native bushland with some fruit and nut trees. There is plenty of space to walk in nature, feel the tranquility, hear the bird songs, and maybe glimpse a Kangaroo,Koala or Possum. As it has 2 buildings. One is our home where we all eat together and the other one is the Wellbeing. You would stay in the dormitory in the well-being building. It has 2 rooms with bunk beds in each and WIFI. At the moment we have chickens, 2 little dogs, and a cat. We are developing veggie gardens and need help with the garden, ride on mowing, painting cooking, cleaning etc. Our diet is: we eat everything but mostly have vegetarian meals. We are not living on a bus route. So we can pick you up from Mount barker. Our farm is 7 km out of Mount Barker. All our children have moved out of the home so just my partner, Urs and I live here. He speaks German and Swiss but I speak only English. TV watching is not our thing but we love watching a film on ...

Glorious views from the Thames Coast on the beautiful Coromandel Peninsula! Enjoy home brew, home made breads and fresh fish.. Plenty of local adventures: bush crash up the stream, swim at the beach across the road, come fishing with me on the kayaks. Take the bikes, pedal 2km to Waiomu; then tramp/jog to some beautiful Kauri (1/2 to 3/4hr). Do an overnighter to The Pinnacles Hut up the Kauranga Valley if yr into vast iconic views and like tramping. If you have wheels you can do great day trips around the Peninsula. And if yr more chill, Thames has some great op-shops or hangout here and make art. Debs & I are happy, retired on the endless holiday, loving every second left ! However, we seriously need help with the massive task of 296: gardens to create & jungle to clear ! We'd love to host you if you like a bit of fun and you know what mutual respect means. When Debs & I started hosting in 2025 we moved to the sleepout making it possible to host helpers from different cultures ...

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...

I have a large comfortable, warm home on a lifestyle block, 10 minutes to Tokoroa and Putaruru. There is a furnished double room for you with a shared modern bathroom in a private guest wing of the house. The house overlooks a lovely garden and orchard. I live on my own with Lucy the cat. I am super busy at work until Christmas so need some help at home. The work involves cooking meals for all of us each night, keeping the garden tidy and doing some maintenance like painting. My house is close to the Blue Springs and Te Waihou Walkway (about 15 minutes) and about 40 minutes to Hobbiton so close to the main visitor attractions in the area. I have a cheese factory in Putaruru so can teach you some cheesemaking if you like cheese!

It's been a good while since we hosted a HelpX, and now we need some help again. Gardening mostly. 2 hours work per day. We have hosted many people - from Japan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Korea, China, America, Germany, Uruguay, Austria, Czech Republic and France. We also used to host paying travellers via www.airbnb.com. We love meeting new people and learning about their culture. It keeps life fun and interesting. We are a Family of 4. Mum, Dad, 2 boys age 24 and 19. It's just Susan and John here now, but nearby is our son's and daughter-n-law, in their 20's who come over sometimes too for a meal and a spa :) Our small farm has Cattle, Goats, and Cats. The beautiful Muriwai Beach, Gannet Colony and Woodhill Forest are nearby. Lots of nearby Native Bush Walks. Don't hesitate to ask any questions! ***REMEMBER that New Zealand law requires you to have a work permit/visa for this type of work***

Bonjour à tous (English version below) Je m’appelle Alix et suis une mère de famille de 66 ans. C'est ma 1ère expérience en tant que "host". Je recherche uniquement des germanophones/anglophones car je souhaite aussi (à l’occasion d’échanges entre nous) pouvoir converser en allemand/anglais pour améliorer mon niveau. Pas de souci si vous ne parlez pas le français !!! Pour le reste, il s’agit de travaux de ménage à faire ainsi que la préparation des repas : française ou autre. Pour les repas de midi et du soir, nous mangeons ensemble… c’est mieux pour discuter de tout et de rien… selon la formule !!! La gastronomie joue un rôle très important dans les familles françaises : je n’ai pas besoin d’un « Master chef » mais je ne rechigne pas sur les bons petits plats : si vous saviez cuisiner, ce serait parfait. A rajouter à ceci (si vous avez quelques compétences dans ces domaines-là) : l’entretien du jardin et quelques petits travaux de rénovation si besoin. La maison est une villa t...

We live on a 5 acre hobby farm in the beautiful Huon Valley, Southern Tasmania. Our family consists of three young adult children (two live at home), two horses, many chickens, ducks, geese, goats and two gorgeous dogs. We grow organic vegetables and breed heritage chickens in an attempt to be more sustainable. Jobs involve general gardening, helping with the animals and housekeeping. If you would like a Tassie small farm experience message us with some details of the work you have previously done. We have separate accommodation, with a bathroom. All our HelpXers have loved working and living with us and I hope you will too (please remember Tassie is a cold place in winter). There are many areas of natural beauty in Southern Tasmania which are all fairly close to us. For example, the Hartz mountains, Hastings Caves and the Tahune Airwalk. We live close to a sleepy village called Cygnet and Hobart is only a 40min drive away. (Unfortunately we can't approve 2nd year visas)

Hello. We live on a historic property located in the hills of Echo Park, which is between Silver Lake/Hollywood and Downtown in Los Angeles, CA. We're also adjacent to Elysian Park. We are one mile from Sunset Blvd where there are buses and transit to access the rest of LA. There are 8 historic homes and the stables on 5 acres. We often need help in making repairs, maintenance, painting, helping out with the horses and gardening, sweeping or raking. I am rebuilding one of the adobe houses in the next few months and will need an assistant to help me out with a few tasks. We will be doing some carpentry mostly but also some plastering and other tasks. Any help is very much appreciated. There are always fun projects to work on. We also occasionally need help with some light domestic work, like dusting, washing dishes, washing windows, etc. If you have childcare experience, we'd love to hear from you!

I have a two family house about 10 minutes north of Boston by car. It's on the bus line, as well as a short walk to the subway. The work is some outside maintenance, some dog walking, some small painting projects, gardening, sewing, organizing, cleaning, daily chores around the house... I am seeking a helper or two. Creativity is welcome, as I have approximately 32 art projects planned (such as eg. building a large figure (maybe an insect) from repurposed/recycled materials, redoing a wattle fence, or a wine bottle project). I also plan on clearing out my basement and need help with that- it’s full of tools and stuff. Lots of stuff 🙂 I am a licensed mental health counselor, retired but still working part-time. I also have 3 dogs and 3 cats, so don’t be allergic to fur

I'm Thanasis, a 45 years old greek man living in the South of the Peloponnes. I'm a farmer, with oranges trees and some olive trees. I need help all the year to maintain the big farm (orange and olive harvest, trees pruning, pick-up fallen oranges, and so on..)

If you like mountains, wildlife and exercise and you are interested in a true country experience this is the place to be. We would welcome any help and would love people to share their organic knowledge with us. No experience is necessary just enthusiasm and a love of the outdoors. Throughout the year we have a wide variety of tasks to do. In April our few cows are calving and we often complete some small building projects and fix fences on the pastures In May we may be doing field work the fields and we also plant the vegetable garden in May and June. In July we are haying, building and fixing fences, gardening, hand pulling invasive weed species, harvesting garlic. There are tasks for all skill levels and strengths so don't be afraid to join us. Remember that being a farmer is about growing food, thus growing food for the cattle and for ourselves is our main occupation. July and the beginning of August are the busiest time of year for the farmer with the 1st cut of hay and...

Welcome to Paradise for Dog Lovers, Nature Enthusiasts & Handy Helpers! 🐾🌿☀️ Do you love dogs? Good—because we are involved in Shar Pei dog rescue and always have adorable ones who’ll steal your heart! 🐶🐶🐶 We're a warm, easy-going Canadian/English couple living in a serene sanctuary on the edge of Ku-ring-gai National Park, with breathtaking bush views and daily visits from native wildlife. We're seeking friendly, capable people to help us care for our home and beautiful bushland garden—especially someone with carpentry or gardening skills. While a green thumb is appreciated, the dogs’ well-being is our top priority, so animal lovers are a must! When you're not lending a hand, unwind in our pool, or explore hundreds of kilometres of pristine bush trails right outside our door. And if you’re craving a bit of city life, Sydney’s vibrant centre is just a short trip away. We love cooking, bushwalking, and making the most of everything this stunning region offers—and we’d love to share...

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

Dog Sitting, Central North Island My wife and I want to go overseas in late Dec - mid Jan Looking for someone to accompany and help look after our retired Pomeranian dog. He's 16 years old and just needs a bit of extra attention in his old age. My mum will also be staying in the house, but she has difficulty lifting and bending and is a bit slow, so we need someone to help her with the dog. It's really not a major responsibility. Our dog sleeps nearly all day, but he needs to be carried in and out of the house as he's getting old and slow. He needs his food morning and night, on time, and generally just needs someone around when he wants something, which is usually either food or a bathroom break. He's actually in excellent health and can still run around and get excited now and then, but he naturally needs a little extra care these days. Our house is in Raetihi, New Zealand, close to the famous Tongariro Alpine Crossing, a location many overseas tourists want to visit. I also own...

We moved back to Dunedin 10 years ago and since have made the garden more diverse by taking out a hedge to plant some native trees to provide better habitat for birds, insects,etc. There is now general upkeep and maintenance in the garden, including some tree and shrub cutting back, and some plants to be moved to more suitable locations within the garden. I focus on growing good organic vegetables, but also enjoy my flower garden. We have a 9 year old dog, Mocha. She was a rescue puppy, and is a Huntaway cross. We have a clean comfortable home, can cook vegetarian or vegan meals if required and are on a bus route which takes 8 - 10 min to the centre of Dunedin.

On week days we are usually working in Perth so we cant provide meals, but a well-stocked supermarket is 200 metres away. When possible we can take turns for meals if possible. We average 2/3 hours a day painting, plumbing gardening and other repairs and can negotiate best time to do that, for example maybe it’s more convenient to do two longer days during the week.Greg is usually available to help you with your car or take you fishing, boating or sightseeing if you’re willing to free him up from his other commitments. When you email please let us know when you plan to get to Per...

Hi, We are Buster & Pauline. Looking for your next helpx place? We are currently looking for helpx during November and early December. We have hosted many helpx from all around the world. We love to impart knowledge about NZ and our local area. We also love to hear about where you are from, and where your travels have taken you. We live in beautiful Parua Bay with our cat Lily, who loves meeting new people and will demand attention from you. We previously owned an oyster farm, which we have recently sold. Now we are looking for helpx to help us with tasks around our property - gardening, pruning and general maintenance around our 1 acre property. 24 hours work per week in return for comfortable accommodation, with a stunning view, awesome meals, (we do eat alot of meat based meals.

We are a family of four living on a lifestyle block in the beautiful Wairarapa, with the entrance to the Tararua Forest park just up the road. There you will find some great tramping, walking, mountain biking and a cool swing bridge across the river and a great swimming hole during summer. On our block we have a small herd of cattle, some sheep, a lamb and a pony along side many birds living in the local landscape. We are presently looking for helpers for painting, gardening and looking after animals. We ask for an average of three hours of work a day in exchange for food and accommodation. The accommodation best suits a couple. We are 15 mins drive from Greytown and Carterton. Non-smokers only please. Please let us know if you have any special food requirements or allergies which might need to be considered during your stay.

Our Ecovillage (established1999) is looking towards a creative and fun season of committed volunteers who wish to work within a collective project opportunity. We are working on the next 25yr Vision and with this are building a very large public art installation project (earthen/cob Dragon sculpture with lots of mosaic work!). Our 'regenerative living learning journey' forms the platform for the efforts we put towards making a difference in the world. We work within intercultural/intergenerational/interfaith/inter-nation restorative justice framework on our farm and work with research teams on soil/wastewater/energy systems design/etc, and permaculture education projects with learners from local to global! This means we are working with: the gardens, livestock/poultry, food forests, natural building (earthen, strawbale, plaster projects, finishing work, carpentry, etc), food preservation, yummy kitchen crafting for shared meals, mosaic and mural artwork, supporting Eco-tourism &...

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.

Our small farm (https://little-farm.com.au) sits in Northern Victoria, where we grow fruit and vegetables, plant trees, and learn as we go. Tim, a retired engineer, is always building or fixing something. Beth is a teacher and health practitioner who also teaches at university. She tends a rose garden of over 400 fragrant bushes. Early mornings here smell incredible. The property includes an organic vegetable garden, orchard, berries, herbs, and a music room with a baby grand piano. If you play, bring your instrument. We’re close to the Murray River. Big skies, glowing sunrises and sunsets, and rich birdlife surround us. Magpies are part of daily life here, in sound and in art across the farm. Nights are clear and full of stars. Many people arrive tired and leave feeling genuinely restored. What we’re looking for Willing, reliable help Someone who takes initiative and keeps shared spaces tidy A careful learner who asks when unsure You’ll be guided at first, then work more indepen...
