4 reasons to do a work exchange in Spain

  1. Save money: help a hostel and get free accommodation in exchange for your work.
  2. Wander in Spain: easily travel to amazing cities like Barcelona, Madrid, Salamanca or Valencia.
  3. Start an Eurotrip: Spain shares borders with Portugal and France, and moving around Europe is cheap by bus, train or hitchhiking!
  4. Learn spanish: working in a hostel in exchange for room and board in Spain is a great opportunity to practice a second language with the locals. 

6 tips to help you plan your work exchange in Spain
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.
