More Working Travel Options

While I can work online from anywhere, I also love the idea of having local work and volunteer opportunities. These seem like great ways to meet people while traveling and get an insiders' look at your destination.

I have come across a few websites that hooks up hosts and travelers willing to work. Some are for pay, others are volunteer opportunities:




Help Exchange

I'll just paste the site's description here, since it sums it up so well:

HelpX is an online listing of host organic farms, non-organic farms, farmstays, homestays, ranches, lodges, B&Bs, backpackers hostels and even sailing boats who invite volunteer helpers to stay with them short-term in exchange for food and accommodation.

WWOOF 

Opportunities to work on organic farms all over the world. I've been wanting to do this for years.

WorkAway

This is another with a blend of paid and volunteer opportunities. Hosts include everyone from B&Bs looking for workers to individuals seeking pet sitters.
