Can't imagine your life without travel? In this case, a list of organizations and resources will come in handy with which you can visit new countries and gain invaluable experience.

We have compiled a list of the main services that provide the opportunity to participate in various events and projects around the world, including volunteering, training programs, and helping local residents for accommodation and food.

On this resource, locals from around the world invite travelers who are ready to help them with housework or small business in exchange for free housing, food, sometimes excursions or even yoga classes. A great way to not only visit a new place, but also explore the local culture. Just choose the type of work that suits you and contact the owner. For example, you can join in just two hours a day.

Here you can find ads from locals around the world who are organic farming and need free labor. Another way to travel, working for the night and food.

The UK charity is sending linguistic students of the last two years of universities and alumni as volunteers to Sudan to teach English to Sudanese children. You can join a useful business and get good practical experience. Preference is given to candidates whose native language is English, but if you have practical teaching experience, your application will also be considered.

On SE7EN you can find a volunteer program or project in almost any country. For example, travel to the Bahamas to work at an independent research station for.

Another international charitable organization that offers many volunteer programs around the world in the fields of health, ecology, economics, education, etc.

This educational program of the European Union for young people (under 30) annually gives grants to non-profit organizations for their projects in different countries, including Macedonia, Great Britain, Turkey, Georgia, Latvia, Azerbaijan, Croatia.

As part of this program, over the past two years, I have visited Macedonia and the UK. The essence of the program is that it provides free training, pays 70% of the flight, visa costs, internal transport, accommodation and meals during trainings and education. Plus, you always have extra days in the country, but at your own expense. In fact, to become a participant, you need to submit an application form to one of the training programs. Each training is dedicated to a specific topic. So, last year we studied tolerance towards representatives of other countries in Wales.

And this organization will appeal to ecotourism lovers who dream of visiting Australia or New Zealand. The goal is to protect nature. The site has many volunteer programs in different parts of Australia and New Zealand, both short and long term.

Do not forget about this rather popular resource, where you can easily find yourself free housing and new friends in different countries. Personally, I often use Couchsurfing to get to know the local life and people in new places where I visit. For super economy, you can combine Couchsurfing with.

In addition, you can become a UN volunteer if you are already 25 years old, have a higher education and are proficient in English, Spanish or French.

An international youth organization providing a variety of internship programs, exchange programs and volunteering opportunities for students and university graduates in 113 countries.

Another non-profit organization accepts volunteers who love nature and are ready to take part in the preservation of the organization's heritage (which is 250,000 acres of land from Maine to Georgia in the United States).

If you do not suffer from seasickness, you can become part of the crew of a cruise ship, yacht or catamaran and exchange your labor for an exciting journey by the sea (Oceania and Asia are at your service). Another alternative is (Asia, Oceania, Mediterranean).

Often, low-cost airlines offer very favorable fares for flights, so you can fly to another country for ridiculous money. Do not forget about other global budget air transportation giants, which, although they do not fly from Russia and Ukraine, will significantly reduce the budget for long or complex flights.

We hope that this list will inspire you to a new travel format, not only to relax and lie on the beach, but also to join a useful business and get new experiences and acquaintances.

Tell us, have you ever taken part in public initiatives in other countries and what other ways do you know to travel almost for free?
