Vložit
- čas přidán 10. 07. 2024
- Many people desire to travel but think that it is too expensive, and therefore completely unattainable to them. But the good news is there are inexpensive ways to travel on a budget, where we can still expand our minds, travel sustainably and give back to the communities we pass through. Today I'm really excited to introduce you to my friend Melica who is going to share a handful of websites she uses to travel on a budget and give back to the community.

Hostel Cat in Las Vegas lets you stay long-term for cheap in exchange for doing work for them (cleaning rooms, handling the front desk, etc). I met some people doing it when I stayed there for a few days; seemed like a nice deal.
Hi David
Hello
Hi
Oh to be 45 years younger!!!! This looks such fun...
I've met many people 45 years older than her living the same life!
Absolutely. Priceless! Exactly.
thank you so much for your helpful video Melicaa 💚🌺
What am amazing, inspiring and informative video! Thanks Melica. Gives me a lot of encouragement and hope to start off on my journey fearlessly. And thanks Robin. Watched one or two of your videos sometime back, maybe last year, and found this today when I was looking for volunteering opportunities. 🐘truly appreciate all that you share and how you are choosing to live.
thank you for the useful tips!
Very helpful Melica, Thank you.
Travel is amazing, grateful that we get to travel full time🤗

This really helped me thanks❤
Thank you kindly for this valuable information. Stay safe
Thank you sooo much for excellent informations
Thanks Melica. U’re amazing 😍

Melica is a charming person.
Wish her all the best.
She is awesome Rob! I have managed a Wwoof farm for a host and met many young travelers (some older ones too).
Great info!
Miabi
Alright thanks Larry
So beautiful. I watched a video by chance, and I liked a lot with Hassan from Morocco👍👍👍👍
I'll use this next time I travel
loved it S2
I wish I could tell the company I work for "Ill be back in a year or two, gotta go volunteer and travel, hold it down brb" 😔.
Ask for a leave of absence.
Nice content,i really love ur video speacially wen u plants
i knew WOOF.net, after watching this video i got to know few more sites. Thanks Rob n Melika.
Astounding wow
Thank you
Worldpackers seem to have problems with Host Ratings, I heard there's no way to see if a host is good or not in advance. Workaway is more open and transparent in that aspect. So many problems with dysfunctional hosts that see volunteers as a cheap source of labor to exploit and not even help with food in return. And it's a shame that platforms allow these behaviors.
Volunteer is okay in many aspects, I just don't like that kind of "volunteering" practiced by some scam companies that ask people to pay for a monthly fee to pay for stuff while they're working there. That should be illegal and passive of denouncing to authorities. Volunteering is not exploiting.
well done Melika
when someone travel to volunteer Is there a visa private or must doing tours visa ??
how can I do this with my kids ? I have a toddler and baby and this defiantly my dream
여행이라고 하면 목적이 여행 그자체인 경우가 다반사 라고 생각합니다. 하지만 그 여행중에서도 봉사활동을 할 수 있다는 사실이 놀랍게 느껴집니다. 저 역시 이 영상에 나온 방법을 활용하여 여행중에 봉사활동을 하고 싶습니다.
Great video. New sub
Rob I saw your video about the yam and need to help other people. Yam, lemon and apple blended together with water is a great umminity drink to fight coronavirus.
What proportion each ingredient? :)
@@mimi1o8 2 apples, 1 lemon or lime and 1 yam piece the size of an apple.. you blended all with 4 glasses of water. Drink half of glass in the morning, afternoon and early evening. It is good for many things. Do a research in yams, you will see how amazing it is. God bless .
Flight prices always hold me back
Hi All, I'm new here and I have some questions that are bothering me, I would appreciate if anyone could reply. Suppose I send a request for South America for volunteering and host accepts my request, will I pay for travelling by ✈️ ??
Could you introduce some volunteer in marine biology also?
Gratitude
Anything in Thailand?
Hi Rob, a quick question for you.
When you were cycling around the USA, where did you sleep?
I think he had a tent and did something similar to couch surfing.
Here is a blog I wrote on that: www.robgreenfield.org/sleepforfree/
Thanks so much Rob, I'm thinking of cycling around Ireland.
Love the videos, keep up the good work.
Question: I am a mom of 2 kids (13 and 8) and my husband and I would like to travel this way, I would live to help and volunteer, my husband too ( my kids would volunteer as much as a kid would be able to) do you have any suggestions?
I've used these sites and some places accept families, some places even say "only accepting families right now." The website usually let you search without paying for an account, the only thing withheld is the contact info! So you can try and search to see what's out there for free!
@@samchamberlayne thank you!
Is possible do that with the pandemic?
I'll love to volunteer someday,
But my school is very time consuming and I'm not financially stable yet
May I know if the company will provide us a Visa?
Is it available here in the Philippians .? I love to travel but I have no enough budget for it..
Yes, its a worldwide community
I have a question please answer 🐱🙏
What kind of visa do we need when we want to go to a country for a workaway or helpx?
You'd have to ask either the host or the government website, or go to an embassy :)
I need volunteers on my homestead in Senegal
I'd love to do the house sitting. But no pets.
💚💚💚🥰
some placements are great some are NOT if they treat you unfairly perfectly OK to walk out.
❤️ 𝑽𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝑪𝒐𝒐𝒍 . 😊 So tell us what is your Favorite
Sea beach / Mountain / Another ?
Yes please, help me how. I really need this volunteer. I want to change my 4 corner into new things. Please kindly help me how.Thank you
Hi, you there?
👍👍👍👌♥️
Very helpful,thanks. Have either of you come across older people using these sites? 50 +
It depends on your skill set. I work with an NGO in the Caribbean and we have accepted volunteers of all ages but older volunteers are usually trainers or impart special skills. If you have something to offer I'm certain some place would be grateful to have you.
yes, many! It is very normal for 50+ year olds to use these websites and travel in this manner.
Rob Greenfield GREAT THANKS
Thanks Ⓜ️ELLℹ️ℹ️ℹ️©️🅰️
Keep it up 💚🤍❤️
🛣️🏞️🗻🌎🌍🌏
Indians can use ti too? To travel other countries? Thank You
Yes, it's world wide :)
Sorry to be a buzz kill here but please don't do this solely as a way to travel. I work with an organisation that has received overseas volunteers through this method. It can be a horrible experience and a waste of other people's time and resources. People expect workers or people willing to trade knowledge and can get partiers instead. Our farmers were sometimes calling people away from the beaches or concerts to fulfill their end of the deal. It may seem like a cheap way to get a room but remember people's livelihoods depend on your efforts and your idea of of a day's manual work may not coincide with that of the host's. Get a hostel or something instead. Is couch surfing still a thing? There are other cheap ways to see the world.
Si quelqu'un pouvait mettre les sous titre en français ce serait génial 💡
Tu peux scanner à google traduction
Volunterism is "win-win"
preposition.
I am always watching your informative & diverse topics.
I am from the Philippines.
I have learned that you are a Jew.
I am a Messianic Believer of Yeshua(Jesus),
are you also a "completed Jew"
meaning a believer & follower of Yeshua(Jesus)?
I'm from the Philippines too! If you want to volunteer in one of the organizations that she mentioned, would you mind if I go with you? Gusto ko lang ng kasama and my friends don't want these kind of things 🙁
Hey, let's go together when the pandemic is over 😁
Hi, Melica. Do you travel alone? How do you make sure you're safe in this crazy world?
She has written a few guest blogs for my website that address that.

@@Robin.Greenfield thanks, Rob!
dont believe the media
Really awesome she’s doing good and helping , but side note dam she’s cute
Really very bad pages. It's for begginers
Is necesary pay a membership.
None of them sponsor visas so of course the volunteer is ilegal if there is any problem has no rights.
They are not responsable if the host expect the volunteer work more hours
None of them sign a contract so the volunteer has not oppotunity to claim
I think the volunteering is not work for free therefore i am not agree with these slave pages
