Far From is a platform that connects travellers with hosts who offer accommodation in exchange for help with tasks like gardening, DIY, animal care, and more. It’s a great way to travel, learn new skills, and experience local cultures without spending money on accommodation.
Far From allows you to create a profile as a traveller or host. As a traveller, you can search for placements based on the work you’re interested in and the location you want to visit. Hosts list tasks they need help with in exchange for free accommodation, and sometimes meals. Simply apply to placements, communicate with hosts, and arrange the details!
The work varies based on what the host needs help with. Common tasks include gardening, house painting, animal care, cleaning, helping with home renovations, eco-projects, and sometimes even assisting with the hosts business. Each listing will specify the type of work expected.

Testimonials

Janet and Roger, estate owner

“We were thrilled to have Sam and Jodie stay with us in exchange for their help around the venue. From DIY projects and general cleaning to garden maintenance, they were a huge help in getting everything ready for our busiest summer yet. Their skills and work ethic made a real difference, and we’re so grateful for their support!”
Jen, AirBnB owner

“I had so many tasks that were mounting up for my rental property, letting Sarah & Nick stay for a week in exchange for getting the jobs done was a huge help!”
