Workaway Host List - Find Hosts and Organizations

Area: Meruge/Oliveira do Hospital/Coimbra

We own a small campsite and bar in rural Portugal and often need help especially in the summer! We are situated in the foothills of the Serra da Estrela, surrounded by nature. Swimming pool and renovated historical buildings on the site. We are a family with two children; eleven and six.

Area: Vejer

I need someone to come and help with my house in the country, near the beach in Southern Spain. There are always jobs to do and help with the garden needed. The house is a few km from the beach so it´s a great place to come to work in the morning and relax on the beach after lunch.

Area: Asturias (N-Spain)

We live in a farmhouse with 2 ha of land in Asturias. We have 5 donkeys and often about 10 dogs, as we are volunteers for the local dog shelter and the donkey sanctuary nearby. We have a vegetable garden, apple trees and other trees. It's a great area for hiking, step out of the house and you are in the woods and we are near the Picos de Europa.

Area: Tuscany

I am an English sculptress looking to start a gallery with other artists out here. I need duplicates of my work. I live in a big, restored, stone villa in Tuscany, part of which is used for summer rental, and look after my very elderly mother. This is a beautiful, rural area which offers escape from the pressures of modern life. It is central and well-placed for trips to famous historic centres, but use of public transport is risky. You need to have special skills or be Italian to master the bus timetable. Apart from a sculpture technician it is a good workaway situation for retired couples or a self -sufficient, handy man -type person from Europe, travelling by car. It is really not a comfortable place for student backpackers. The restoration of the farm buildings and the making of a garden on a steep slope, has been a 20 yr project, so , while there is still work to do, the maintenance is piling up. During the winter months it is good to have helpful friends around with plenty of interests and skills to share. A retired architect couple stayed here from Jan to June 2009 and we had a great exchange. They liked the area so much that they are now working to move here so are unavailable for 2010.
