Workaway Host List - Find Hosts and Organizations

Area: Donegal

Family of three, mother and two sons. We live in a rural setting, close to Letterkenny and Derry surrounded by farmland and close to Lough Swilly. We have a large garden and plenty of room to host. You would have your own room and ideally blend into our fairly simple lifestyle. As i said we are a family of three, ! am 46 divorced, and my sons are 10 and 8 years, they live here most of the time but spend every other weekends with their dad, We have 2 cats so if your allergic it wouldn't work out and they have the run of the house also. I spent most of last year and so far this one too completing the renovations and extention to my home, so there are still little jobs to get done. I am an easy going very stable type of person, what you see is what you get, and i enjoy meeting new people. I have traveled some and lived in other countries also so fairly wordly. If you are looking for somewhere to hang out for a while in a fresh and interesting location then i think we should appeal. I trained as a ceramacist and was successfull with my own work, selling to stores all over ireland and USA, i put it on hold when i had my second son but now i am looking to get back to it. I have a studio at the back of my house why i plan to extend, so hopefully i will have a fully equiped ceramic studio on site also before the end of the year. I am currently studying spanish and would like very much to develope my language skill, i can read spanish better than i can speak it, having someone to practice with eso seria fantastico.!! Gracias. Maria.

Area: 6km from Sorrento

We have an agriturismo by the sea, outside Sorrento, faces Capri, Ischia and Bay of Naples. The farm has olive trees and lemon trees and produces wine, olive oil and limoncello. We also have small number of clients on b and b basis. The farm is in a lovely position and is at Massa Lubrense- 6km from Sorrento and connected with public transport.

Area: Orinoco river , Venezuela,

We are based in a part of Venezuela that is accessible yet still virgin. Its web of countless small and big rivers allows us to venture deep into spectacular galleries of untouched beauty. We use fast, strong boats to get as deep as the Delta permits. Then we change to smaller boats with smaller motors, and finally we do it just like the Warao Indians did it for thousands of years, we penetrate 1-2 meter wide canals in dug-out canoes. With the blasting sounds of Howler Monkeys and the sharp curious screams of the Blue and Gold Macaws protesting our invasion, the effects are unforgettable.

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: Bay of Plenty

We are a farming family, have been milking 140 cows for the last 20 years. We wanted to do something different so sold the cows and bought 6 horses. We are now a riding school and a trail riding centre, also organizing horse camps at different times of the year to different places. We are also a small farmstay so keeping busy with that too. You get to help us with varied tasks from maintenance to horse work, to cleaning hostel( maintenance) and horsegear, also assisting in trail riding and camps. Our sons are all grown up with 2 still at home but next year they're off to uni. We have a panoramic view over the islands, ocean, hills and bush. We have a 9.1 m swimming pool for use in your free time in the summer and a river swimming hole 10 min walk way. We do NOT like smokers as some of us suffer from Asthma, so please, NON SMOKERS ONLY.( it also pollutes the air and your body and ours)
