Working Holidays Abroad with the Help Exchange

By Nick July 17, 2006

Alot like my previous post on WWOOFing, I found another site called helpx.net (help exchange) which offers pretty much the same programs as th WWOOF sites do, but on a smaller scale. Help exchange is another way to gain free accommodation and meals while traveling abroad.

One difference between WWOOFing and going through help exchange is that HelpX does not limit its work to only organic farms.

… an online listing of host organic farms, non-organic farms, farmstays, homestays, ranches, lodges, B&B, inns, backpackers hostels and even sailing boats who invite volunteer helpers to stay with them short-term in exchange for food and accommodation (board and lodging)…

So if you were intersted in WWOOF, but the whole organic lifestyle would not fit, HelpX can offer you a different type of working holiday for travel.

Helpx is not much use unless you pay the fee as only
a few addresses are given. Also poor support from the guy who runs it. I have had lots of problems logging in and get no help from him.
