I love the concept and am really considering it, but not making money is concerning to me. I don’t have passive income, so going somewhere for sometime spending money but never making it scares me

Is there any place away from worldly affairs where there is an atmosphere of peace, where there are mountains, greenery all around, flowing waterfalls, where the heart gets peace, where introspection can be done, where there is solitude, where one can do yoga, where one can experience heaven, where one can work as a volunteer? You can stay for as many days as you want, where you can live without money, where you can stay away from depression. If there is such a place, then I want to go there for some time or for the whole life. I want to stay away from the noise of the world. Is there anyone there? such a place

first of all, loved the video and you seem to be such a fun person to be around, wish i couldve volunteered with you XD my question is, do you suggest getting a premium membership early and talk to hosts like months before you want to travel or is it possible to volunteer last minute?

@lillyloulijia Жыл бұрын

aw thank you, that’s so sweet!! i would suggest a good balance between the two - two weeks to a month’s time in advance. because sometimes, the situation of the host is also unpredictable and they might end up cancelling or vise versa. if you want to go on a spontaneous trip then, there are definitely hosts that are open to volunteers to start asap as well!

i liked the experience in Serbia a lot mostly because the people i was volunteering with all shared the same sense of humor with me, and i loved Belgrade’s bars and coffee shops. Tirana’s experience for me was slightly more dull but that’s also because I didn’t do a lot of exploring during the weekends and the people I volunteered with didn’t all speak English

Sometimes I wonder if people who do this have no job and/or a lot of time and money. I'd love to try it myself, and I do have a remote job (within the US only I think). When you work at these places, do you have that 9-5 time slot open to work on your stuff and do stuff for them after? Then again, that concept leaves one with no time for a personal life and be able to enjoy the area. But on the pro-side, they take care of your housing. It almost sounds like volunteer slavery for a place to stay, lol.
