Volunteer & Exchange

Another way to travel and discover amazing places on this planet is: to trade and volunteer in different ways. The possibility of traveling in a foreign country with the stability of a place to stay, a meal and sometimes also a small payment is just cool. Not only for digital nomads- for people who enjoy living and working in the countryside or helping on farms.
