Hosting a Work Exchange Helper

Do you have space to host but no idea about what kind of help you could use? Here’s how being a Host for a work exchange Helper could enrich your life:

Health and sports

• Get back into shape: host a personal trainer for a week or two to kick-start your fitness goals
• Personalized dietary advice: host a nutritionist to teach you about healthy eating and optimize your health
• Become more mindful: host a meditation enthusiast who can guide you through daily meditation sessions
• Perfect your yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi or Chi Gong poses for 2 hours every morning with the instruction of an experienced teacher
• Always wanted to improve your tennis serve / golf swing / salsa moves / running technique? Here’s your chance! Find a StayLance Helper who’s talented at the sport of your choice and ask them to coach you!

Home and garden improvement

• Think about all the little jobs around the house that you never get around to doing: organizing, improving your interior design, painting, cleaning. A StayLance helper could help you with this!
• Beautify your home: why not host an artist who could paint a wonderful mural on your wall or create a piece of art specifically to your taste (e.g. a sculpture for your garden)? The possibilities are endless
• Does your garden need some love? Let a green-fingered StayLance Helper work their magic

Family life

• Help with childcare: give yourself more free time and enrich your children’s lives by hosting StayLancer Helpers who love kids. Choose people who speak languages or have interests that you’d like your children to learn, such as musical talents, painting, gardening, sports etc
• Household tasks: emptying the dishwasher, hanging out the laundry, going food shopping. With children and a busy life, these tasks are never-ending but a StayLancer can help you enormously!

Language skills and culture

• Have you been studying a language but need more conversation practice to build your confidence? Host a native speaker to give you lessons – the fact that they can also teach you about their home country’s history and culture is a bonus. The other advantage is that you can immerse yourself by speaking only that language at home with your StayLancer and this is the fastest way to learn!
• Do you love to travel and experience new cultures but are currently unable to? Having StayLancer Helpers allows you to meet interesting people from all over the world and gain new perspectives. You may even end up making friends with some of them and going to visit them in their homes!

Computer help

• Do you have a small business? Would you like to start a blog or publish a book online? Perhaps you could use the skills of a StayLance helper to build or improve your website, or a social media guru to give you tips on how to reach a larger audience.

Interests and other skills

• Learn how to cook a new type of cuisine, play the guitar, sing beautifully or even how to build with natural Eco-building materials.
