Traveling will ruin your life — but that's not necessarily a bad thing

What is expected from volunteers in a work exchange in Spain?

First, a traveler doing work exchange must be friendly and open-minded because meeting people from all over the world might bring up some differences. A work exchange in Spain is an opportunity to understand other people’s cultures. Practice empathy helping others and the hostel that welcomes you as a cleaner, social media, photographer or receptionist. Be proactive and promote parties and games with other guests. Be open to listen to the host’s recommendations about the tasks you’ll be performing as volunteer in Spain.
