Area: Central Portugal

We are a couple - Alan (Irish) & Lara (South African) who have recently moved to Portugal to enjoy the "good life". Our smallholding (Quinta) has a vineyard, olive trees and rocky hillside. We have a beautiful view of the Serra d'Estrela national park where it is possible to ski when snow permits. We are currently renovating and renewing a somewhat neglected vineyard and we are planting trees and a vegetable garden in order to enjoy our own organic vegetables. Our new barn has just been completed and we plan to keep chickens, geese, goats, sheep and, later, horses.

Area: Hautes Pyrenees, bordering the Haute Garonne

Three years ago we moved from a different region to this property just over an hour to the south-west of Toulouse. My husband is not a DIY person, but does love the garden. We really could do with some help on all sorts of levels and hope to find somebody who would enjoy being part of a happy and homely environment, together with the experience of being in France for a while.

Area: Anchorage, Alaska

My husband and I are currently in the process of restoring a very sad and neglected house located in Anchorage, Alaska. The house is still a work in progress, we’re still working on the inside and the outside is half way there. We need a lot of help! So come help with building, gardening, making ceramics and other useful projects. You get to stay in a private room that we just completely renovated. So you can have some privacy when you get tired of hanging out with us. The upstairs is mostly done, we are currently gearing up for taking on the basement of the house.
