Workaways are the underrated way to have super cool travel experiences, especially if you're on a gap year, traveling solo, have lots of time, and/or want to try new things in new places!
In this video I'm talking about THE place to find workaways (I don't really know where else you could go besides this website, it's really a godsend), answering specific questions, and giving a brief overview of my experience with workaway so far.
I wanted to make this video because I've spent the past 5 weeks in Madrid in 2 different workaways and I've had an incredible time, so I hope this helps anyone like me who's traveling on a veeeery limited budget :)

Did you receive any pocket money? The cost of living gets covered but I would assume you'd get some extra money to fund your own hobbies etc. This sounds similar to au pairing and the host family does provide some pocket money.

@lottecooper4370 4 жыл бұрын

You usually pay for it yourself 😌 also many people don't offer extra payment, so if you're looking for pocket money, you should rather do au pairing. (I was an au pair before and got paid, now I'm doing a host family stay and basically work as an au pair. But since we found each other on workaway and it's not explicitly called au pairing, I don't get money) 😅

@ImaniBrooksimb 3 жыл бұрын

Hey! I think it depends and can vary! I just left the work away website a few minutes ago and saw hosts mentioning the certain time frames they want you to stay. Some host I saw have you stay for only 2 month while others have different options ranging as far as 6 months to a year for you to stay with them ! :) So I believe it depends on what host you get and the type of work you get!♥️ When you are doing your search next time for a host and when you look at their profile about what they do and their stay; they should also be able to tell you the certain timeframe you will be staying there with them! And if it meets your 2 month mark, definitely check them out and stay with them :)! Xxx But yesss the time frame can depend and can vary with different work and hosts.
