“Volunteering in farms has been an amazing adventure! Here in Mataro, we were 10 minutes walking distance to the beach so we went almost every day for 3 weeks, we got to eat delicious organic veggies from the garden, learned how a traditional Paella was cooked over a flame, learned how to plant garlic and make clones of plants. In return we got to feel good about the tile that Nick and I helped place in Oriol’s porch, loved to watch his artichokes grow beautifully, and we cleaned up his fields and prepared them with compost for the new season!! This host was also kind enough to take us sailing on his friends boat and was always showing appreciation for the hard work we put into his projects. We also got to share the hard work with 2 Germans that were also volunteering and met a cool English dude!! We definitely will be returning to this beautiful place that he called his paradise! 🏡 🇪🇸” – #WWOOFer @madventurouskat

Teaching

Most of the world is looking to better their English, so becoming an English teacher is one of the easiest ways to get you to another country.

Each country has its own system, some you apply directly and some require going through an agency, but either way, that’s your best shot.

Hostels

If you’ve ever stayed at a hostel, you might notice that the people who work there are from all around the world. That’s because a lot of people come to work at hostels because it’s a great and easy way to make a living!

Some hostels even give you a free room which means you don’t have to worry about finding a place to live in a new city.
