ALTERNATIVE TRAVEL

Alternative traveling is an emerging trend that develops as a sort of anti-

tourism or "different" tourism. If the all inclusive package tour to Egypt may
"recharge your batteries," it will probably not recharge your soul. Here are
some ideas for those in search of transformational travel and life-changing
travel experiences.
 VOLUNTEER AND TRY TO MAKE THE
WORLD A BETTER PLACE
Volunteering abroad can be
a tremendously fulfilling
experience. There are so
many grassroots
organizations and
communities in the world that
need your help. You are not
paid for your work, but you
can get a truly enriching
experience by volunteering.
GO GREEN TRAVEL AND WWOOF IT UP!
WWOOF (World Wide
Opportunities on Organic
Farms) is a worldwide
movement that links volunteers
and organic farmers. In return
for volunteers' time, the
WWOOF hosts offer
accommodation, food, and
possibility to get new skills and
to learn about sustainable and
organic lifestyles. 
 GO FOR YOGA AND MEDITATION RETREATS
Traveling is a way to discover
not only new countries and
new cultures, but first of all, it's
a way to discover your inner
self.  There is something
magical about it. Journeys help
to uncover your true calling.
We leave home brainwashed,
and we come back with clear
mind and peace inside.
TEACH LANGUAGES ABROAD
Try to be an ambassador, travel
and spread your language and
culture abroad. Teaching
languages is the easiest option
to travel for people who speak
English, French, German,
Russian, Spanish or Chinese
because there is a demand for
these language skills all over
the world.
 TAKE A FULLY IMMERSIVE LANGUAGE COURSE

Learn Spanish in Spain and

experience FIESTA SIESTA Y
MANANA? What can be better
than learning a new language
with locals while exploring their
country? Make your next
holidays not only the time to
relax and to have fun, but also
to learn something new.
TRAVEL WITH HOUSE SITTING
Do you like animals? If yes, this is
something for you. The house
sitting principle is very simple: when
people leave on holidays, they
entrust you their house and their
pets. You take care of the pets and
get free accommodation in return.
House sitting is very developed in
such countries like Australia and
New Zealand, but the concept
starts to be popular in other
countries as well.
 TAKE CARE OF KIDS WITH THE AU PAIR PROGRAM

Taking care of kids (which are

not yours :)) can be a big
challenge and fun at the same
time. If you enjoy spending
time with children, then the Au
Pair program is a great
opportunity for you to live
abroad, to improve your
foreign language skills and to
share your culture with
others. 
CREW A YACHT OR A CRUISE SHIP
Let the adventure begin with
going into the open water! Is
it scary or exciting for you?  It
can be both. You don't need
to be a sailor to crew a yacht,
and you don't need to have
knowledge of seamanship;
there are dozens of different
jobs you can do on the yacht
or a cruise ship.
 BECOME AN ANIMATOR AT THE RESORTS
Instead of going for a one
week vacation to a beautiful
resort in a warm country, you
can just go and live there.
Resorts from all over the
planet are looking for the
international team with diverse
language skills.
BECOME LOCATION INDEPENDENT

What about turning your whole

life into a journey? Live and
work anywhere you like by
becoming location
independent. We live in the
amazing time when thanks to
the technologies, we can live
the lifestyle our parents could
only dream of. Now it's all
possible.
