2 Volunteers required on the North West Coast of Scotland. We have 7 self catering cabins near Ullapool on the North coast 500 route 3 miles south of Ullapool. We require 3 hours help per day to assist with a number of projects which the weather dictates. You will have your own room and shared bathroom. Would suit 2 friends who enjoy the outdoors and can stay for 2 weeks. You will have plenty time to go off and explore the area. Must be fit and healthy as some outdoor work requires lifting and carrying. On wet days indoor work like cleaning and ironing will be required. The position would suit a couple or 2 friends. Most days you start at 10am cleaning chalets then outdoor jobs like cutting grass, painting and cutting back bushes.

Hi, I'm Andrew, thanks for looking at our profile, We are a family of 3 living in the suburbs of Newcastle about 15 mins drive from the beach. I have 2 kids at home(15yo & 17yo), enjoy cafes and going to the beach and playing in the pool. (The photos are some of our local beaches). We also like cycling and playing games, chilling out and chatting with friends. We attend a local church each week and our two kids attend the local school which is just up the road. I spend lots of my time fixing (renovating) houses and love to have people to work with. Help at work Generally we ask you to help out in the renovations about 21 hours per week each (normally 3 x 7.5 hour days - we tend to stop for half hour to have lunch in the middle but could also be spread over more days with less hours), fixing the place up and then spend the other time at your leisure. Ideally we are looking for helpers who have been involved in building or renovating (or are keen to learn) but we also are looking fo...

Hi! We are Steve and Johanna, a couple who decided to buy a property with magical views and a shearing shed on the top of a mountain. This venue is very exposed and not for the faint-hearted in wild weather! But when the sun shines it's truly paradise. We converted the shearing shed into a home and have now been here 20 months. We have a small shed next to the house which contains a sleeping "capsule", complete with double bed, lights, mirror, clothes hanging space etc. We are currently looking for someone strong and fit who loves to work outside. If you have experience with hard landscapung..setting up formwork for concrete etc perhaps our place is for you. There is always weeding and planting to do as well...send us a message or give us a call. If you like to explore, there are plenty of slopes to wander over, plus some beautiful NZ bush. We have 2 energetic Foxy/ Jack Russell puppies who roam and play and love attention. We love the interactions with our HelpX guests and the variety...

I am an English woman. I live in a large property, in Saint Maur des Bois, 50800; opposite a medieval church. William the Conqueror used to have a chateau here but it has long gone now. I would like ideally to find someone to stay with me long term, but I love to host shorter stays too. I love meeting new people. Help needed in the garden with weeding, cleaning , animal care and general home maintenance. The garden isn't huge, but I can't lift heavy stuff any more. I am fairly easy going and treat our helpers as part of the family. The house is not far from the golden beaches at Granville, great for swimming. Le Mont St. Michel is about 30 minutes by car or bus. Christian Dior Museum and Gardens are 20 mins away by train. The closest large town is Villedieu les Poeles, famous for its bell foundry and medieval buildings. Today there are many arts and craft studios and a thriving café culture. WWII landing beaches are to the North. Loads of museums, history and sights. Paris is about 3...

Dear volunteers, my name is Nicola, I'm 30 and I live (and grew up) in a farmhouse in the not much known north-eastern corner of Italy, Friuli. I opened this host profile six years ago, in the year when I helped my dad running his farm. During that time I had the luck to host some of the best volunteers I could hope for, and even tho it feels like ages ago I still keep great memories of that experience. Since then, lots of things had changed: my dad is not around anymore, and the place can't be properly called a "farm". My dad used to keep sheep, wild-range pigs in the woods and other animals, and to cultivate our 3 hectares of land... while now in the woods has moved a small pack of roe deers, and in the morning you can see them browse undisturbed in the fields! Other current non-human inhabitants are our 30 hens, two cats, and my mum's dogs. Nowadays, after moving back from Venice where I lived for some years for uni, I work as a librarian in a nearby town's public library. But sinc...

We are both retired and live in a converted barn in about two acres of land. The nearest town is Villefranche de Rouergue which is ten kilometres away. We have lived in France long enough to appreciate what we call proper food so. we strive to vary the diet so that no main meal is repeated for at least 14 days (unless specially requested) It may be French, it may be British, or it may be a mixture of French and British and on occasions you will taste the local delicacies We are very flexible about working hours all we ask is that in return for five hours work per day, five days a week, at a time to suit yourself, we will provide you with good healthy tasty food and a private comfortable room which has TV and en-suite facilities, If you are a couple who wish complete privacy, we could provide you with a separate self-contained apartment.

2 Volunteers required on the North West Coast of Scotland. We have 7 self catering cabins near Ullapool on the North coast 500 route 3 miles south of Ullapool. We require 3 hours help per day to assist with a number of projects which the weather dictates. You will have your own room and shared bathroom. Would suit 2 friends who enjoy the outdoors and can stay for 2 weeks. You will have plenty time to go off and explore the area. Must be fit and healthy as some outdoor work requires lifting and carrying. On wet days indoor work like cleaning and ironing will be required. The position would suit a couple or 2 friends. Most days you start at 10am cleaning chalets then outdoor jobs like cutting grass, painting and cutting back bushes.

Come to share this human experience with us in the middle of the Peruvian jungle! We started to build our Eco Lodge in the Amazonas, at the edge of a river, with volunteers from all around the world and locals. The aim is to build a Center of Well Being, to create a community based on permaculture concepts, learn how to live sustainably, entertain, relax, heal, develop projects and express creativity. All kinds of help in Ecology, Bio Constructions, carpentry, gardening, teaching class for kids, reforestation, organic crops or cooking vegetarian meals is welcome. You will work 5h per day (from 7am to 12) and then you will be free to go to the river to play volleyball, football, slackline or just to relax in the amazon jungle. You could also visit the community we work with. You will learn a lot about living in the Amazon jungle in a good place to live off grid! Come join us in Iquitos, to participate to this great adventure! We already had the chance to work with more than 300 vol...

We are in the process of renovating an old house in the Pyrenees. We live in a small village with some shops and a climbing centre and a river just opposite the house. We have a quite a size garden where we grow vegetables and fruit bushes and trees. Here, we have spectacular mountain views on our doorstep, hiking trails through the mountains and forests, cycling paths, and skiing in the winter months.

Hi, I'm Andrew, thanks for looking at our profile, We are a family of 3 living in the suburbs of Newcastle about 15 mins drive from the beach. I have 2 kids at home(15yo & 17yo), enjoy cafes and going to the beach and playing in the pool. (The photos are some of our local beaches). We also like cycling and playing games, chilling out and chatting with friends. We attend a local church each week and our two kids attend the local school which is just up the road. I spend lots of my time fixing (renovating) houses and love to have people to work with. Help at work Generally we ask you to help out in the renovations about 21 hours per week each (normally 3 x 7.5 hour days - we tend to stop for half hour to have lunch in the middle but could also be spread over more days with less hours), fixing the place up and then spend the other time at your leisure. Ideally we are looking for helpers who have been involved in building or renovating (or are keen to learn) but we also are looking fo...

Hi! We are Steve and Johanna, a couple who decided to buy a property with magical views and a shearing shed on the top of a mountain. This venue is very exposed and not for the faint-hearted in wild weather! But when the sun shines it's truly paradise. We converted the shearing shed into a home and have now been here 20 months.

I am an English woman. I live in a large property, in Saint Maur des Bois, 50800; opposite a medieval church. William the Conqueror used to have a chateau here but it has long gone now. I would like ideally to find someone to stay with me long term, but I love to host shorter stays too. I love meeting new people.

Le Mont St. Michel is about 30 minutes by car or bus. Christian Dior Museum and Gardens are 20 mins away by train. The closest large town is Villedieu les Poeles, famous for its bell foundry and medieval buildings. Today there are many arts and craft studios and a thriving café culture.

Dear volunteers, my name is Nicola, I'm 30 and I live (and grew up) in a farmhouse in the not much known north-eastern corner of Italy, Friuli. I opened this host profile six years ago, in the year when I helped my dad running his farm. During that time I had the luck to host some of the best volunteers I could hope for, and even tho it feels like ages ago I still keep great memories of that experience. Since then, lots of things had changed: my dad is not around anymore, and the place can't be properly called a "farm". My dad used to keep sheep, wild-range pigs in the woods and other animals, and to cultivate our 3 hectares of land... while now in the woods has moved a small pack of roe deers, and in the morning you can see them browse undisturbed in the fields! Other current non-human inhabitants are our 30 hens, two cats, and my mum's dogs. Nowadays, after moving back from Venice where I lived for some years for uni, I work as a librarian in a nearby town's public library. But sinc...

We are both retired and live in a converted barn in about two acres of land. The nearest town is Villefranche de Rouergue which is ten kilometres away. We have lived in France long enough to appreciate what we call proper food so. we strive to vary the diet so that no main meal is repeated for at least 14 days (unless specially requested) It may be French, it may be British, or it may be a mixture of French and British and on occasions you will taste the local delicacies We are very flexible about working hours all we ask is that in return for five hours work per day, five days a week, at a time to suit yourself, we will provide you with good healthy tasty food and a private comfortable room which has TV and en-suite facilities, If you are a couple who wish complete privacy, we could provide you with a separate self-contained apartment.

Good food and excellent private accommodation in a self-contained unit 60 m from the house with bathroom, kitchen, internet and TV. The property is 33ha of native forest with two creeks located in the subtropics, 15 km from Lismore and 50 min from Byron Bay. Our focus is on growing organic produce for our own consumption and enhancing the habitat for the abundant wildlife including wallabies, goannas, echidnas, birds etc. Varied tasks include gardening, bush regeneration, maintaining bush tracks, and or cooking and general house and property maintenance. Looking for some help painting at the moment. Shared meals, mixed diet/vegetarian, no children. Prefer one to two weeks stay then negotiable. Happy to pick you up and deliver you to public transport train, bus or plane (Ballina). Take time out from your travels to recharge in a relaxed atmosphere! Happy to show you local attractions such as National Parks. Look forward to hearing from you! Cheers Grant and Paula
