Is It Possible to Travel Forever?

If you have decided to start travelling for a long period of time, you should plan every single detail ahead. Otherwise, you might end up in the middle of nowhere with no money left. Undoubtedly, hotels are expensive and rental accommodations are impractical in every city you visit. However, hostels are a reasonable option since they are cheaper. Besides, hostels are a wonderful place to meet other travelers. What are other options except for the hostels? Here are some of the most useful ones.

Caretaker’s Gazette

This service provides you with an access to a classified system of people, who look for caretakers. In exchange, caretakers can enjoy rent-free living. The opportunities vary in scope from campground hosting to organic farm workers, ranch hands to nursing for the elderly, motel management to just house sitting. There are both paying opportunities and work-trade agreements for accommodation.

Woofing

WWOOF is an international organization that is located in more than 70 countries worldwide. It is an organization of organic farms, gardens, ranches, where you can barter your services for lodging, food, and training. Required services typically include basic farm and garden maintenance along with cooking, caring for children, teaching, etc. There is always some work available for anyone who is willing to lead this kind of lifestyle.

In any case, it is a great way to get invaluable experience and cover your accommodation expenses in a practical manner.

House Carers

If you are willing to spend your vacation house-sitting, this type of opportunity is exactly for you. There are lists of people around the world who request house sitters for different periods of time. House caring is a great chance to live in another city or country for a few days or even a few months.

Organic Volunteers

Similar to Caretaker’s Gazette and woofing, this type of opportunity deals with farm and garden maintenance. The prospects aren’t limited though. You can also find artist retreat internships and hostel management jobs along with agricultural settings.

Couch Surfing

Couch Surfers are people who eagerly open up their homes to thrifty travelers since they also want to be hospitably hosted when they are those travelers. The site has only high quality members. Consequently, the safety of both traveler and host is ensured. Nevertheless, stay prudent and cautious whenever you stay at a stranger’s place or host a stranger.

Servas

Servas is a non-profit organization of altruism and cultural exchanges. It is a network not only to connect people and places but also to volunteer around the world through various projects. Hosts usually offer their homes to travelers for two nights. The main condition is to contact beforehand and meet host’s approval. Before being accepted to the program, travelers must go through a thorough procedure of screening. Only quality candidates are given lists of the hosts in the desired destination country.
