What is a Work Exchange?
It's a different kind of travel experience where you work in exchange for room and board in hostels, bed and breakfasts, and other locations. Travelers help out for a few hours per day, and get accommodation and other benefits in exchange. You can work and travel on a budget, learn new skills, and have an authentic cultural immersion experience. It's perfect for gap years, sabbaticals, or student exchanges abroad.
Tips for Traveling on a Budget
This kind of experience is recommended for those travelling alone and willing to stay longer at each destination. Working in a hostel is an amazing opportunity to learn a new language and meet people from all over the world. If you're looking for gap year ideas, work exchanges abroad are a cheap way to explore different countries, get immersed in another culture and make a meaningful impact in the area.
