Workaway

Workaway is a platform that connects travellers with hosts to arrange homestays, in which travellers (known as "Workawayers") contribute a pre-agreed amount of time per day in exchange for food and lodging. Stays can range from a few days to more than a year.
Hosts post opportunities that can include gardening, animal-care, cooking and farming, and a range of specialist tasks.
The platform is used by budget travellers, language learners, people seeking longer or sustainable tourism, involving practical participation in local life.
