HOSTS

As a Hovos host, you can pick the right person from our many travelers. They have all created profiles with their information and available skills.

Just match the traveler with the right skills to the kind of construction help you seek, and you’ll have reliable assistance on hand.

No more having to do all the work yourself when you have a construction project and no more huge labor bills for minor jobs. Learn more about construction from the volunteer so that you can handle the task on your own next time around OR show a volunteer who is willing to learn exactly how you want the work done. Hovos lets you gain exposure to different construction styles from across the globe, just by giving you the freedom and flexibility to pick the volunteer of your choice.

What is the cost to sign up as a Host or Traveler?

Traveler Membership: $10/Year This gives them full access to all hosts as well as a FREE Travel SIM. However, they can create an account for free so they can start ‘favoriting hosts’ and build their profile - but advanced features such as contacting hosts will be unavailable until they become members.

Host Membership: $0/Year It is free for hosts to sign up and they can begin contacting travelers immediately.
