Hi there,
Today I want to show you how you can spend your
vacations without spending money for accommodation.
I will start by COUCHSURFING. There is a site
where the people all around the world offer you a free accommodation in their
apartment. You have to only create your own profile, write some information
about yourself. A good profile is essential because it is the only way to know
something about you. When you are looking your host on this site you can also
read the comments with the recommendations of the other guests who had been
staying there. The hosts are giving their comments about their guests as well.
But you have to remember that it’s good to talk with your host before you get
there to make sure that you feel good in his presence and to know him better.
This way of the accommodation requires lot of trust from both sides.
The second one is a WORK IN THE HOSTELS. This
way of accommodations becomes more and more popular recently. You just have to
find a hostel in a place where you want to go and offer your help for a place
to stay. Maybe it won’t be a work of your dreams, but I am sure that you can
learn a lot and what’s more you can get know a lot of interesting people. You
have to know that often you have to work only few hours a day and your work is cleaning
the rooms, staying at the reception of the hostel or doing small chores around
the hostel. It happens that the owners can propose you some extra cash for your
work. During the days off you can do everything you want to, for example you can
plan some interesting trips.
You can also work as a VOLUNTEER IN THE
ORGANIZATION. That is my preferred one because it helps to get unforgettable memories
and lots of experience. Being a volunteer often allows you to get known better
yourself and your weaknesses. This type of travelling is more safety because
your travel is organized by the people who are running a foundation and they
have to be inspected during your stay. In brief, it means that they have to obey
the law under which you became a volunteer.
You can also profit of the program called HOMEEXCHANGE. As the name says you give a person your house to live in for some period
of time and in exchange that person gives you its own house. I think that could
be the great adventure to live in somebody’s house for example during vacation.
And now imagine that in a minute for a short
period of time you can become a completely different person in the other part
of the globe.
How it sounds? :)
