How to work and travel in Chile

Chile is one of the best destinations for those that like to travel cheap and want to do a work exchange. If you want to learn a new language, see the Andes or visit the beautiful beaches of Chile, you can save on lodging by doing work in exchange for accommodation. Many hosts look for those that want to do this kind of exchange in tasks like reception, administration, cleaning, repairs, among others.

Tips for work exchange in Chile

Chile is a flexible place and is great for those that like the city, beach, or countryside. There are options in each of these locations with hosts for those that want to work in a hostel and take advantage of making the country a cheap place to travel. With a lot of history and places to be visited, Chile also provides an intense cultural exchange that is certainly worth visiting, mainly the Atacama Desert region, the capital of Santiago, the Andes or the city of Valparaiso.
