One thing I can advise helpers who want to get a placement with any host is to have at least one PICTURE of YOURSELF. Just as you like to "see" who and where you are coming, hosts like to see who they are opening their home to. It's going into Summer now, so we need lots of outdoor help getting the property and garden cleaned up after such a long and hard winter. I need someone right away to help with small handyman jobs or selling online eg: eBay, marketplace etc. Knowledge of Carpentry and Plumbing are always appreciated. Car mechanics are always helpful. I would really appreciate someone who can do handyman jobs and wants to come for a week or two. I sell things online and on eBay and would love someone who is good at online selling in English. I have a large house and property in a diverse area of Staten Island, New York that I`m always working on. I plant a vegetable garden in the spring using the square foot gardening method. A friend and I rebuilt the whole house on the i...

This is a traditional family-owned farm which, after years of abandonment, is currently being re-imagined as a sustainable and environmentally-conscious community. Located just 3km from the beach, where the Pampa plain meets the rugged coastline of the Argentinian Atlantic.

We are looking for self-motivated individuals to help us out with daily tasks such as helping in the kitchen, keeping the house and grounds clean, tending to and watering the gardens and fruit trees, taking care of the chickens and other animals, and whatever else needs to be done.

Great Mackerel Beach is a magical place in Sydney. A small and peaceful community with lots of wildlife; expect to see wallabies and plenty of local birds. If you have seen the television series 'Home and Away' then you will recognise 'Summer Bay' across the water. A safe beach is only metres from the door. The view from the house is stunning as we look across to Barrenjoey Lighthouse and Palm Beach. We would prefer 2 helpers or a couple that can stay for at least a week mainly doing gardening, but some domestic cleaning and general maintenance. Experience working in bush regeneration, stone work or landscaping would be fabulous. We would like the equivalent of 5 hours/day 5 days/week but are flexible with when you work as long as the times are mutually agreed in advance. Most of the work is outdoors gardening on our steep block by the sea. We would prefer strong helpers with farming or agricultural experience. You can enjoy time off exploring nature. We can offer swimming, fishing, ...

Bonjour Ć  tous ! Nous avons Ć©tĆ© Ć©leveurs de chevaux arabes, arabe-barbes et anglo-arabes et nous avons une trentaine de chevaux en moyenne, dont des retraitĆ©s, des poulains, des adultes qui sont montĆ©s ainsi que des pensionnaires. Nos autres animaux sont 2 chiens, un malinois guide de chevaux, et une micro beagle rĆ©formĆ©e des laboratoires, et des poules qui vivent en libertĆ©. Il est donc primordial d'aimer aussi les chiens, car les deux lĆ  sont trĆØs invasifs pour avoir des cĆ¢lins... Notre discipline sportive Ć©tait l'endurance, et nous avons fait des compĆ©titions plus ou moins longues, de 20 Ć  120 km. Ɖvidemment le cheval est notre passion, et nous aimons partager avec tous ceux qui ont la mĆŖme passion que nous. Et sinon, je parle anglais mais vraiment pas super bien, et Marcel pas du tout. Alors pour vivre de bons moments conviviaux et un beau sĆ©jour, il faut parler correctement le franƧais pour saisir la subtilitĆ© des conversations et des blagues. Et aussi Marcel aime beaucoup b...

Permaculture project with idea and space to create an eco-village. The quinta is located in Alto Alentejo 2km from Portalegre. 15 hectares with magical forests and a beautiful valley provided by seventeen sources and several mines with healthy water where too people live permanently for the moment,Isabel, a communication manager and Michel, a carpenter who is the founder of the project. There is also one dog, five cats, for chickens and six sheep. The project is now in the phase when it’s open so that more people can live here. Because parts of the ruins are ready for occupancy, there is space for people who want to stay longer, which can bring new and stronger dynamics throughout the year, not like before, when there was only a lot going on in the summer months. So far there is already a beautiful gardens going on and numerous species of plants, shrubs and trees which deliver us plenty of food.

Hi there, I’m Leon. Through COVID, I saw how serious not having food self sufficiency could be, and started to think about agriculture. Currently, I work at a strawberry farm, invested in a vegetable farm, and just got started on a yuzu farm. The average age of farmers in Japan is at 69.2 (as of 2024) and is set to worsen. There is a serious lack of young people choosing to do agriculture. Your help will be truly appreciated by the farmers here. I started my learning journey in agriculture through volunteering, so I want to create similar opportunities for others to learn, and hopefully inspire people to choose agriculture. I will try my best to give you a meaningful experience during your time here! Please let me know if you have any other skills you can contribute! Where is this? Himeji city of Hyogo prefecture. Himeji city has a population of ~500k people, and is considered ā€œinakaā€ or countryside by many Japanese people. You can get away from the hustle and bustle of the major citi...

Kia ora, we extend a warm invitation to host a physically strong, fit and capable couple for approximatelly a week between 23 October and 1 November. Our home is nestled in semi-rural Paremoremo, a mere 10-minute drive from central Albany on Auckland’s North Shore. This area is full of serene natural beauty, enveloped by lush vegetation, and great views of the upper harbour. We are lucky to have an abundance of native birdlife which we marvel at every day. Paremoremo is only about 20 minutes drive away from beautiful white-sand East Coast beaches, which are good for swimming and also sometimes have great surf. Additionally are within an hour's reach of the rugged Waitakere bush ranges and the distinctive black-sand beaches of the West Coast, which offer regular awesome opportunities for surfing and day treks. We are both around 60 so we are slowing down and need help but still very young at heart! Russell has a full-time role as a Project Manager and is keen to help you get started ...

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 a mature aged couple working from home and are looking to find an enthusiastic couple, or single person, who can help with general garden maintenance , eg weeding, lawn mowing ( using both a ride on mower and push mower) and wood splitting etc. In return, we are offering a private room and own bathroom ( see in photos below) in our lovely home. Accomodation and all meals are provided. ( free wi-fi is also available). We are in a quiet and secluded bush setting, and often have kangaroos and wallabies feeding on our property, but still only 3km from the main highway and station. (Melb CBD is 1 hour via train.) It is essential that you are a dog lover! (We have 2) Our 2 Whippets are quite old now, but very friendly and lazy! This would be an excellent opportunity for anyone requiring 1 or 2 weeks of accommodation, possibly longer, to share our easy going family life style. We are DEFINITELY a NON SMOKING household, and would prefer not to cater for vegetarians only. The work i...

I am a retired English teacher with an interest in all things organic. I live with my husband Richard who is also retired, and we have one dog. Our children and grandchildren play a large part in our lives, we often take care of the small children, and sometimes they come to stay. We will help the volunteer to improve their English, and you have a comfortable bedroom and bathroom and good food which is mainly vegetarian. We now live in a bungalow very close to the beach, and since we have only recently moved in there are so many jobs to sort out. We love growing both food and flowers, so in addition to quite a large garden we also have an allotment where we are learning to grow our favourite foods. There is a small orchard in our garden, ten apple and four pear trees, which need lots of work towards the end of August and for all of September. We also have plenty of winter work - one big job is hanging pictures, so any volunteers with an artistic eye would be particularly wel...

Buffalo is nestled between Meeniyan and Fish Creek, in South Gippsland, Victoria. Wilsons Promontory National Park is closeby, with its beautiful scenery, fantastic beaches, native animals, kangaroos, wombats, emu’s, and much more. All the small communities are connected by a walking track, formed from the old rail line. Local towns like Foster, Toora, Fish Creek and Meeniyan have numerous cafes, galleries, opportunity shops and much more. Beautiful beaches include Waratah Bay, Shallow Inlet, Sandy Point, Walkerville and Cape Liptrap. Tarra Bulga National Park is known for its giant Ash trees, beautiful fern gullies and ancient Beech Myrtle is a short drive. Public transport from Melbourne to Leongatha via bus takes about ninety minutes. I enjoy gardening, bush walking and looking after the farm. Pulling noxious weeds, collecting firewood, paddling on the lake. Help would include gardening, housework & cooking. We have wifi, Starlink internet, and I would enjoy introducing guests ...

We are based just outside Kaeo, 30 minutes north of Kerikeri. Our property is covered in 85% native bush and our main goal is to protect local wildlife and regenerate the native forest. We're seeking energetic, positive people to help with tasks like fencing, garden maintenance, lawn care, clearing gorse and tobacco weed, firewood, small building projects, house cleaning, and painting. We try to vary the jobs, and most tasks suit fit individuals who enjoy working outdoors. We enjoy a beer or wine after work but have a no-smoking, no-drugs policy. Your accommodation is a newly renovated guest room in our house with a queen-size bed (shared bathroom). We use tank water, mains power, and solar panels and we are working toward food and energy independence. We've been helpers ourselves on Helpx before, and speak English, German, and some Spanish. Our rescue dog Lucy is friendly and loves walks and cuddles, and we have hens and a rooster. Whatever your skills and talents are, your suppo...

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

One thing I can advise helpers who want to get a placement with any host is to have at least one PICTURE of YOURSELF. Just as you like to "see" who and where you are coming, hosts like to see who they are opening their home to. It's going into Summer now, so we need lots of outdoor help getting the property and garden cleaned up after such a long and hard winter. I need someone right away to help with small handyman jobs or selling online eg: eBay, marketplace etc. Knowledge of Carpentry and Plumbing are always appreciated. Car mechanics are always helpful. I would really appreciate someone who can do handyman jobs and wants to come for a week or two. I sell things online and on eBay and would love someone who is good at online selling in English. I have a large house and property in a diverse area of Staten Island, New York that I`m always working on. I plant a vegetable garden in the spring using the square foot gardening method. A friend and I rebuilt the whole house on the i...

This is a traditional family-owned farm which, after years of abandonment, is currently being re-imagined as a sustainable and environmentally-conscious community. Located just 3km from the beach, where the Pampa plain meets the rugged coastline of the Argentinian Atlantic. We are passionate about agriculture, surfing, music, travel, nature and the environment, who want to create a communal space where people from around the world can come to learn about sustainable living and ecological ideals; share delicious organic food from the gardens; surf; tell stories; share knowledge, ideas, culture and language; learn about farming, the environment, or just relax and enjoy the farm and surrounds. We are looking for self-motivated individuals to help us out with daily tasks such as helping in the kitchen, keeping the house and grounds clean, tending to and watering the gardens and fruit trees, taking care of the chickens and other animals, and whatever else needs to be done. Exchange: You ...

We are an operating farm. Mostly silviculture. We farm mostly trees. We are situated in one of the largest Cork Tree areas in the world.Mediterranean forest ecoystems are considered one of the most important ecosystems right after Virgin Forests. We also have lots of pine trees both for lumber and also for pine nuts. Cork and pine nut trees are a very sustainable resource as their lifespan is over 200 years and they produce cork and pine nuts during that time. We pride ourselves for being an environmentally responsible farm and we enjoy teaching volunteers and visitors about what we do. We are a Forest Stewardship Council certified farm. FSC is a worldwide recognized organization that certifies socially and environmentally respectful organizations like ours, that harbour and follow, strict guidelines for workers, neighbouring populations and the environment.We are audited on a regular basis.

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.

Great Mackerel Beach is a magical place in Sydney. A small and peaceful community with lots of wildlife; expect to see wallabies and plenty of local birds. If you have seen the television series 'Home and Away' then you will recognise 'Summer Bay' across the water. A safe beach is only metres from the door. The view from the house is stunning as we look across to Barrenjoey Lighthouse and Palm Beach. We would prefer 2 helpers or a couple that can stay for at least a week mainly doing gardening, but some domestic cleaning and general maintenance. Experience working in bush regeneration, stone work or landscaping would be fabulous. We would like the equivalent of 5 hours/day 5 days/week but are flexible with when you work as long as the times are mutually agreed in advance. Most of the work is outdoors gardening on our steep block by the sea. We would prefer strong helpers with farming or agricultural experience. You can enjoy time off exploring nature. We can offer swimming, fishing, ...

Bonjour Ć  tous ! Nous avons Ć©tĆ© Ć©leveurs de chevaux arabes, arabe-barbes et anglo-arabes et nous avons une trentaine de chevaux en moyenne, dont des retraitĆ©s, des poulains, des adultes qui sont montĆ©s ainsi que des pensionnaires. Nos autres animaux sont 2 chiens, un malinois guide de chevaux, et une micro beagle rĆ©formĆ©e des laboratoires, et des poules qui vivent en libertĆ©. Il est donc primordial d'aimer aussi les chiens, car les deux lĆ  sont trĆØs invasifs pour avoir des cĆ¢lins... Notre discipline sportive Ć©tait l'endurance, et nous avons fait des compĆ©titions plus ou moins longues, de 20 Ć  120 km. Ɖvidemment le cheval est notre passion, et nous aimons partager avec tous ceux qui ont la mĆŖme passion que nous. Et sinon, je parle anglais mais vraiment pas super bien, et Marcel pas du tout. Alors pour vivre de bons moments conviviaux et un beau sĆ©jour, il faut parler correctement le franƧais pour saisir la subtilitĆ© des conversations et des blagues. Et aussi Marcel aime beaucoup b...

Permaculture project with idea and space to create an eco-village. The quinta is located in Alto Alentejo 2km from Portalegre. 15 hectares with magical forests and a beautiful valley provided by seventeen sources and several mines with healthy water where too people live permanently for the moment,Isabel, a communication manager and Michel, a carpenter who is the founder of the project. There is also one dog, five cats, for chickens and six sheep. The project is now in the phase when it’s open so that more people can live here. Because parts of the ruins are ready for occupancy, there is space for people who want to stay longer, which can bring new and stronger dynamics throughout the year, not like before, when there was only a lot going on in the summer months. So far there is already a beautiful gardens going on and numerous species of plants, shrubs and trees which deliver us plenty of food. We are happy when someone shows enthusiasm for the garden because this is a central part...

Hi there, I’m Leon. Through COVID, I saw how serious not having food self sufficiency could be, and started to think about agriculture. Currently, I work at a strawberry farm, invested in a vegetable farm, and just got started on a yuzu farm. The average age of farmers in Japan is at 69.2 (as of 2024) and is set to worsen. There is a serious lack of young people choosing to do agriculture. Your help will be truly appreciated by the farmers here. I started my learning journey in agriculture through volunteering, so I want to create similar opportunities for others to learn, and hopefully inspire people to choose agriculture. I will try my best to give you a meaningful experience during your time here! Please let me know if you have any other skills you can contribute! Where is this? Himeji city of Hyogo prefecture. Himeji city has a population of ~500k people, and is considered ā€œinakaā€ or countryside by many Japanese people. You can get away from the hustle and bustle of the major citi...

Kia ora, we extend a warm invitation to host a physically strong, fit and capable couple for approximatelly a week between 23 October and 1 November. Our home is nestled in semi-rural Paremoremo, a mere 10-minute drive from central Albany on Auckland’s North Shore. This area is full of serene natural beauty, enveloped by lush vegetation, and great views of the upper harbour. We are lucky to have an abundance of native birdlife which we marvel at every day. Paremoremo is only about 20 minutes drive away from beautiful white-sand East Coast beaches, which are good for swimming and also sometimes have great surf. Additionally are within an hour's reach of the rugged Waitakere bush ranges and the distinctive black-sand beaches of the West Coast, which offer regular awesome opportunities for surfing and day treks. We are both around 60 so we are slowing down and need help but still very young at heart! Russell has a full-time role as a Project Manager and is keen to help you get started ...

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.

I am a retired English teacher with an interest in all things organic. I live with my husband Richard who is also retired, and we have one dog. Our children and grandchildren play a large part in our lives, we often take care of the small children, and sometimes they come to stay. We will help the volunteer to improve their English, and you have a comfortable bedroom and bathroom and good food which is mainly vegetarian. We now live in a bungalow very close to the beach, and since we have only recently moved in there are so many jobs to sort out. We love growing both food and flowers, so in addition to quite a large garden we also have an allotment where we are learning to grow our favourite foods. There is a small orchard in our garden, ten apple and four pear trees, which need lots of work towards the end of August and for all of September. We also have plenty of winter work - one big job is hanging pictures, so any volunteers with an artistic eye would be particularly wel...

Our jobs are likely to include weedeating, spraying gorse, putting mulch on garden and general tidying up and cleaning so some practical experience is preferred. Building and practical experience with building, fencing, painting, building steps, cleaning, who enjoy physical, mostly outdoor work is always welcomed. Depending on if we have airbnb guests, you would stay in the luxury airbnb, a cabin or your van and just use our shared spaces. We love hosting travelers and enjoy also getting jobs done on our list. With having 10 acres to care for, there is always something to do. Ideally you would have a vehicle as we do live rurally. We will give you food and accommodation in exchange for 4 hours of work. We love having first time helpers and help you map out your journey in the north or just help you get used to be...

Buffalo is nestled between Meeniyan and Fish Creek, in South Gippsland, Victoria. Wilsons Promontory National Park is closeby, with its beautiful scenery, fantastic beaches, native animals, kangaroos, wombats, emu’s, and much more. All the small communities are connected by a walking track, formed from the old rail line. Local towns like Foster, Toora, Fish Creek and Meeniyan have numerous cafes, galleries, opportunity shops and much more. Beautiful beaches include Waratah Bay, Shallow Inlet, Sandy Point, Walkerville and Cape Liptrap. Tarra Bulga National Park is known for its giant Ash trees, beautiful fern gullies and ancient Beech Myrtle is a short drive. Public transport from Melbourne to Leongatha via bus takes about ninety minutes. I enjoy gardening, bush walking and looking after the farm. Pulling noxious weeds, collecting firewood, paddling on the lake. Help would include gardening, housework & cooking. We have wifi, Starlink internet, and I would enjoy introducing guests ...

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 registered pure American Mulefoot boar pig, one gilt pig berkshire-tamworth with spots.. i am a fourth-generation beekeeper and has much ...

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

We are based just outside Kaeo, 30 minutes north of Kerikeri. Our property is covered in 85% native bush and our main goal is to protect local wildlife and regenerate the native forest. We're seeking energetic, positive people to help with tasks like fencing, garden maintenance, lawn care, clearing gorse and tobacco weed, firewood, small building projects, house cleaning, and painting. We try to vary the jobs, and most tasks suit fit individuals who enjoy working outdoors. We enjoy a beer or wine after work but have a no-smoking, no-drugs policy. Your accommodation is a newly renovated guest room in our house with a queen-size bed (shared bathroom). We use tank water, mains power, and solar panels and we are working toward food and energy independence. We've been helpers ourselves on Helpx before, and speak English, German, and some Spanish. Our rescue dog Lucy is friendly and loves walks and cuddles, and we have hens and a rooster. Whatever your skills and talents are, your suppo...

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