Unique stories written every day


Hello Sue, Hanzel, Aaron and Becky. The 6 weeks that I spent on your farm were way better than I imagined it, I just have to thank you, your family and all the crew the welcomed me so amazingly. IT WAS THE BEST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. I not only made friends there: I was part of a family. I learned a lot about life, and the farm life as well. I improved a lot my English too, thanks for the patience and for the love given to me. I will love you all forever. Best wishes, Letícia from Brazil.

Travellers - Experience the cultural exchange!

Our travelling members are open minded people interested in cultural exchange and saving on their expenses while working and travelling around the world and are happy to exchange work for housing.

They are willing to do a few hours of free work per day while living and eating for free. After travelling the world they will have a whole new set of skills, and let's not even start speaking of all the new memories.

The typical visit at a host can be anywhere from a few days to several months.

Hosts - Find free help and meet new people!

Hosts from all over the globe are getting free help on their projects, while the same time meeting interesting personalities from the comfort of their own home.

Hosts on our platform post all kinds of exciting volunteer opportunities, spanning from a few weeks to several months, or even on an ongoing basis. Some examples might include eco-building, childcare, language learning, gardening, web design or general help around the farm.
