How to be a low budget world traveler

To travel the globe is a dream of quite a few young people, but without a sponsor? best student exchange program - Teenagers just like young adults share the same fate: plenty of time to travel, and the drive to do it, but in most cases they do not have the necessary funds to easily travel our planet. best exchange student programs - The transport is one main cost element, and the good old alternative of hitch-hiking is not everyone's favorite and will not get you across the ocean. We recommend to combine the journey with a bit of extra income, which might come in handy later: organize a job which will get you wherever you want to go to. Do a job on a cruise ship, contract with a logistic business running particular errands for them, accompany people needing help like elderly or handicapped people. Alternatively one can always do a fund-raiser so that you can pay for a low-cost airline flight ticket. international student exchange program - Once you are where you wanted to go you will need food and board. Even though youth hostels and snack bars or supermarkets are a low cost choice, if you really like to stay somewhere for free including food, there are mainly 2 alternatives: The first one is that you don't mind working locally. For example farms will host you, provided you assist with the work a number of hours every day. You can also work as an au-pair: for twenty - 30 hours every week of baby sitting you have food and board, sometimes a car, and all of that not just for free: you get a pocket money on top. If you don't want to work, a private student exchange will be your best choice to travel for free. Your host family will provide you with food and board for free. In return you later host their teenager at your home. Of all student exchange programs only a few offer a private student exchange. The concept is easy: I visit you - you visit me. Such a foreign exchange student program even allows family hopping and multiple country visits. For example you can tour all of Europe and stay with families in Paris, London, Rome, Berlin, Munich Barcelona, or Madrid for free.
