I am a 45 year young male who has recently left corporate life to live the experience a more quality driven environment. The house, Apts, land, avocado farm and fishing farm/lake are overwhelming but a great experience. I spend most of my time in the sun pottering around and seeking out ways to rent out the 3 apts.

We own a small campsite and bar in rural Portugal and often we need help. We are situated in the foothills of the Serra da Estrela, surrounded by nature. Swimming pool and renovated historical buildings on the site. I have two kids: Matte, thirteen and Seth, seven. The work in summer has more to do with the tourism. Outside the high season the work is different; gardening, painting, helping in the house,....

We are Francis & Linda White. We have lived at our current home since 2008. The garden could be both beautiful and productive, however the previous owner who developed the garden let it slip a bit in recent years. We are seeking help with getting the garden back into good order, and some DIY ability would help. We run a bar restaurant so work long hours, especially during the summer. We are located in a village so you would not be isolated, and you would get plenty of opportunity to practice your French.

Hi, I am Annie I am renovating an old house in the village of Hotnitsa 15km from the town of Veliko Tarnovo. The house will eventually become a retreat centre. I am a yoga teacher and Holistik therapist and anyone coming to stay is welcome to join in on classes for free. I have 3 dogs and 3 cats and as soon as the chicken run is completed 10 chickens and hopefully a goat and some horses. But first the accomodation for the animals needs to be renovated. My plan is to take on rescue horse's and then have a small trekking centre, where people can come for day rides to the Beautiful Hotnitsa waterfall or guests staying and doing Yoga etc can also enjoy clip clopping around the beautiful village and surrounding area. However at the moment I have a run down house, falling down barns and an over grown garden (3000sqm), which will next spring hopefully be turned into an organic vegtable/herb/fruit garden. Basically I need help to turn the dream into a reality. I am looking for someone with some building/restoration knowledge, you dont have to be a master crafts person, but if you are that would be fantastic. I am looking for workaways with a good sense of hummour and who are willing to give everything a go. I would like this to be a happy experience for both me and you. The accomadation is in the half renovated house, I will fill the fridge with food, sometimes I cook, sometimes you can cook, some meals together others just sorted out by yourself. I am vegetarian, but if you want to cook/buy yourself meat thats your choice. The dogs and cats are very much part of my family, they are all over the furniture, very playful and sometimes a pain in the bum. If you dont love animals this really is not the right place for you. I also volunteer for a charity called Little Angels Rescue BG, which means I will sometimes have foster dogs staying with me. I ask for 25 hours a week work in exchange for bed and board. I have travelled extensively throughout the years and have many a funny travel tale, I also enjoy listening to other peoples tales and learning about others and their culture and languages.
