How can I travel for free? 9 ways!

1. Yi Family Travel

This method became famous in the Cameron Diaz/Kate Winslet movie "Love Vacation". Of course, that assumes you own a home and have good credit.

If you have a house to offer, you can promote it through online classified ads provided by various websites. Most websites require a registration fee (to avoid unreasonable people), but this gives you the right to advertise your house for a full year. The length of the exchange depends on the needs of the exchanger.

2. Find a job on an organic farm

WWWOOF is an organization that helps international volunteers who want to work on organic farms. Many farmers are very welcoming to travelers who don't mind staying and working on the farm for a while. Take care of some chores and they might offer free food, too.

3. Become a "Mysterious" Traveler

Recognized as "Secret" and "Mysterious" Shoppers can find work in any field, including travel. You won't be able to decide when and where you travel, but you can travel for free and get paid.

4. House-sitting

Although you may need an impressive profile and testimonials, this method is really great. You'll receive free accommodation in exchange for watering your plants, walking your dog, and doing some housework and chores. Then you'll have plenty of time to get to know a brand new city.

5. Be a sales driver

You can drive other people’s cars around the country for free. It's true, and it's legal, but you'll have to pay for gas and some security deposit out of your own pocket, and a car delivery service is much cheaper than renting, especially if you plan on traveling across the country.

6. Teaching English abroad

Teaching English can provide you with the opportunity to go almost anywhere in the world, and it is undoubtedly one of the options worth choosing for travelers. You can gain an in-depth understanding of the culture of a place and meet many like-minded people. Most of the expenses are paid by the school on your behalf.

7. History buff? You can try to be a tour guide

If you plan to stay in one place for a long time, you can consider becoming a tour guide to understand the local conditions. Many places will recruit people who know the local area and speak English to serve as tour guides. Of course, you need to have a certain degree of charm and confidence, and the job is enough to support your long-term travel.

8. Become a flight attendant

International flight attendants often have the opportunity to stay in a foreign city for a night or a day. If you want a higher income, consider becoming a pilot.

9. Become a Peace Corps Volunteer

Although the (U.S.) Peace Corps requires 27 months of volunteer work, it also has many benefits. Includes medical and dental care, free transportation, intensive language training, student loan deferment or cancellation, and more.

This job offers up to 48 days of paid time off, so you can explore the nearby area as much as you like.
