Region: Ardeche

We run a yurt campsite which enjoys a magnificent position perched above the Ardeche River gorge. The gorge, 300 metres deep at some points, twists and turns below and offers some of France's most breathtaking and rugged scenery. One of only two camps within the Ardeche Gorge nature reserve, and is beautiful in its simplicity.

Region: West Chilcotin, British Columbia

We are Monika and Fred and have recently joined forces in an effort to develop an organic farm/tourist destination in the wilderness of the West Chilcotin. The farm is very isolated in a narrow valley and borders the large Tweedsmuir Provincial Park. Fred and I are non-smokers nearing our 60th birthdays. We are developing 10 acres for organic seed potato and vegetable production and have built a greenhouse into the mountain side for vegetables requiring more heat. The opportunities for work experience and wilderness adventure are endless.

Region: Massa D Carrara Tuscany

I am a writer and storyteller born in Scotland but have spent a great deal of time in Italy and I am currently living my lifelong dream of restoring a lovely old Tuscan villa and am looking for volunteers to help in exchange for full bed and board. I am hoping to be totally self sufficient here in my little homestead and to create an eco friendly food garden. I hope in the future to be able to host workshops here and enjoy visits from my very large and very busy family and group of friends. This is a beautiful part of Tuscany, in the mountains, surrounded by chestnut forests and rivers but close enough to the beach and skiing resorts (40 mins) to offer the best of all worlds. 15 mins from the fabulous medieval (and market) town of Pontremoli and just over an hour from Pisa, under 2 hours from Parma, Milan, Florence, Bologna and many other beautiful cities. It has everything including cheap and frequent flights to and from Pisa!

Region: Salt Spring Island

We are developing 5 acres on Salt Spring Island in beautiful British Columbia, Canada. We have done a lot of land clearing and now we want to build an organic garden (blue berries, fruit trees and vegetables), build rock walls do more landscaping more and put up several deer fences. There is also a lot of wood to be cut and stacked. We would like to offer the large trailer as accommodations with internet, satelite TV and unlimited North American long distance calling. We are a couple both in mid 50's and have a lot of energy and plans. No children. We live in a very beautiful area near the ocean and just above the best hiking trails on the island. There is a lot to do here on this island and Vancouver is very close.

Region: Wagga wagga

We own a large scale working wheat, sheep and cattle property. Where guests are invited to observe or participate in helping with farm chores or simply to enjoy the tranquil environment of this pretty secluded pocket of Australia. Every morning children and adults alike can help with the farm round, feeding the ducks, chooks, pigs, pet lambs and milk the goat etc. Revive yourself with a scrumptious morning tea before embarking upon a walking pony or horse ride around the farmyard or an invigorating canter out in the wild, open fields
