HelpStay is a skills-based volunteering platform that connects travellers with hosts offering projects around the world. Helpers offer a few hours of honest help and get accommodation and food in exchange.

How does it work?
Register to the platform and get access to a database of different hosts to select by location or type of help activity: farms, house holders, art retreat centres, eco-villages, backpacker hostels, surf lodges, yoga & TEFL centres, vineyards, ranches and schools.

As a member you can directly contact and book your stay with any of the available hosts and arrange as many exchanges as you wish.

Volunteers need to be 18 years old.

There are membership fees.
