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. A great way to not only visit a new place, but also to explore the local culture. Simply select the type of work that suits you and contact the owner. For example, you can join the Italian farming, spending only two hours a day.

Here you can find announcements of local people in different countries who are engaged in organic farming and need free labor. Another way to travel, working for bed and Board.

Sudan Volunteer Programme

A charity organization from the UK sends students-linguists of the last two courses of universities and graduates as volunteers in Sudan to teach Sudanese children English. You can join a good cause and get a good practical experience. Preference is given to candidates for whom English is the native language, but if you have practical teaching experience, your application will also consider.

"In the framework of this program over the last two years I visited Macedonia and the UK. 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.
