This resource locals from around the world invite travelers to help them on the farm or in small businesses in exchange for free housing, food, sometimes excursions or even yoga.

The essence of the program is that it provides free training, pays 70% of the flights, visa costs, internal transport, accommodation and meals during the training. Plus you always have extra days in the country, but at their own expense. In fact, to become a member, you must submit the application form on one of the training programs. Every training dedicated to a specific subject. So, last year we studied tolerance to representatives of other countries in Wales." - Inna, a member of the Youth in Action program.
