Area: Asturias (N-Spain)

We are volunteers for the local dog shelter and the donkey sanctuary nearby. At the moment I am referring volunteers who want a taste of Asturias to contact Marleen at the donkey paradise - about 20 donkeys, 4-5 dogs and even a few horses and 8ha to take care of (and a vegetable garden of course!).

Area: Bundaberg

We are always looking for helpers at our backpackers in QL. Our hostel style tourist retreat is more of an eco-resort than a backpackers, this excellent retreat is set on 6.5 hectares of bushland 1.5km out of town. Only minutes away from pristine beaches and National Parks. We provide double rooms and four bedroom dorms in clean, airy timber cabins , there's an open-air meditation area, swiming pool, an ultra cool communal chill-out zone as well as own own private lake. We have planted hundreds of plants and trees which are always in need of attention. And of course, lots of cleaning work to be done.

Area: Greek Islands

We run a massage centre located on a beautiful island , one of the few places which the Greeks have kept a secret from foreign tourist intervention. It is the second largest of all the Greek islands and has an abundance of mountains, pine forests, beaches and hot springs. We are situated in a small village close to the island’s capital which can be easily reached by bus, train or car as there is a bridge connecting us to the mainland. We have a spacious, old country home with a large shady garden which boasts almond, eucalyptus, fig, lemon and orange trees with plenty of hammocks attached to them. We are also within biking distance from both the sea and the mountains.

Area: ANDALUCIA, Cadiz province, Barbate

We are a french family of four, with 2 kids (7 1/2 and 3 years old). We have worked abroad (Africa, Central America, Pakistan) for years, and after few years in Paris, we decided to settle down in Costa de la Luz (Andalucia), wich is a perfect place to raise children (and for adults too!). We know the area since 20 years now, and have lived here full time for 7 years. We live in a beautiful and preserved environement, in a old hacienda, in a natural park of pine trees. He runs an hotel/bar/restaurant (with partners) and I am naturopath/nutritionist (give consultations, write recipe books ...). Our children are healthy, easy going on and bilingual (french/spanish). They love receiving friends and visitors. It is a great place for great walks in the park, we are 5 km from unspoilt beach, you can also enjoy many activities (horseriding, surf, bycicling ...). We can drop you at the bus station when you want to visit more of Andalucia on your day off. And when we drive out (everyday to school and more), we drop you so you can visit easily the nice little town around (Barbate, Vejer ...).
