Why work and travel with Hippohelp
Free for both hosts and travellers
Hippohelp is free for all members, it doesn't matter if you travel alone or in pairs. Just make sure that your host benefits from the exchange as much as you do. So provide honest work and try to not be too shy!
Plan your trip with our map-based interface
It couldn't be any easier! Plan your route in advance by contacting hosts who fit your travelling plans. Simply drag the map to an interesting area, check for markers representing volunteer opportunities and send a request. You can also save markers as favourites and come back to them later.
Let others know about you
Place a travelling marker on the map, with details about you and the dates you plan on going to a particular place. A great way of hooking up with hosts or other travellers.
Become a part of the community
Make a difference in other people's lives and be more than a tourist.
Know who you're visiting
Check what other people have to say about the host you plan on visiting, check photos of their home, or take a look at their Facebook profile. It's all only a click away from their public profile.
Make a personal list of hosts
Many of the hosts using our platform offer recurring jobs. Once you've left a host save them as a favourite and revisit them later!

Why host with Hippohelp
Free + Free =
Can it get any better? Using Hippohelp you will reach enthusiastic travellers with a wide range of skills who all work for free in exchange for food and shelter. The platform is also free to use. It does not matter if you need help with learning English, or help with the horses, you will most likely find the perfect match here. Just make sure to socialise a bit with your helpers and you'll soon have new friends from across the globe!
Make your needs known
Just place a marker on the map specifying what you need help with together with some basic information about your arrangements and you're done! All travellers interested in going to your area will see your marker and details.
Find travellers in your area
Travellers can also place markers on the map with information on what tasks they are willing to do and how long they will be staying. This gives you a great opportunity to reach out to volunteers who might be interested in your project.
Like travelling, but without the travelling
Meeting new people from places far away is usually something associated with travelling. But it doesn't have to be! Meet people from all over the globe to exchange stories with, all from the comfort of your own home. Meeting people from far away will also give you a reason to revisit your own town!
Get some fresh views and ideas on your projects
Travellers are generally open minded people with a lot of ideas and experiences. Use this opportunity to get some input on your new eco-project from the volunteers, while at the same time improving your second language. The possibilities are endless.
