How to Use Work Exchange Programs to Travel the World for Free
Next month, I’ll be staying in beautiful El Paredon, Guatemala for free, in exchange for teaching yoga to surfers at a hostel on the beach. I’ve also received free yoga teacher training in Rishikesh, India and paid nothing for ten days of accommodations in Lucca, Italy, where I saw the Rolling Stones perform live. People ask me all the time how I manage to get this kind of gigs. Surprisingly, it’s not that hard. Here is information on how to use work exchange programs to travel the world for free.
Determine What Kind of Work You Can Do
We all have our unique talents. Perhaps you’re an outstanding cook, have a glorious singing voice, are a skilled videographer, or can teach English. Whatever your abilities, there are probably people around the world that are willing to host you in their home or resort in exchange for your talents. Some hosts will provide food and accommodations, and some might even toss in a small income. Each situation is as unique as your skill set.
