Connecting with locals overseas is one of the best ways to guarantee a successful trip, hence the popularity of websites like couchsurfing. But if you’re looking for a longer term stay (more than a few days) while traveling abroad, consider a work exchange through VolunteerStays. The only catch? You must have an adventurous attitude and the ability to put in about 20 hours of honest work a week in exchange for room and board. The rewards? Countless. Not only will you save a lot of money on food and accommodation, but you’ll gain valuable cultural insight and knowledge, new skills and lasting friendships.
VolunteerStays is a social networking travel site for people who love to travel and want to experience new cultures and ways of life by doing work exchanges with hosts in different countries. Get off the beaten track and do something extraordinary on your next vacation. Join Now
