Traveling without paying for housing takes a lot of strain off of your budget. Here’s how to travel extensively if you don’t have the money for rooming accommodations.

---

If you’re young and you want to travel the world but don’t have the finances then consider doing a work program abroad. There are different kinds that feature different kinds of jobs, but they let you travel the world on a very small budget. Rent or hotel costs can be the most expensive part of any trip and if you’re able to live somewhere for free then you’re cutting out a huge part of your budget. This type of travel is becoming increasingly common for people who want to take a gap year to travel or who want to spend an extended period of time in a new country. These programs have an extensive network that is set up everywhere in the world.

Some of these programs feature jobs that are seasonal and so they offer housing for workers that are only staying a short or medium amount of time. Because of the way visas are set up you can only stay in one place for so long and so these programs can come in handy because of their specific beginning and ending dates. Jobs like these can range depending on where you are traveling.

The jobs can range from housework to physical labour. You can stay at a hostel and work part time to live there for free. Nannies and Au Pairs are wanted in both rural areas and popular cities. Farms in the countryside like seasonal workers and farmhands who are willing to put in some physical labor. There are even odd jobs like landscaping, language teachers, musicians, animal care workers, and so much more. You can choose to explore based on country or by the type of work you’d like to be doing.
