Traveling is only as expensive as you make it to be. Even if you have no money to spend there are some creative ways that you can see the world with little or no money. These are some weird ways that you can travel for free or nearly free.
Get A Ride Through BlaBlaCar
Although not very popular in the U.S. BlaBlaCar is well known in some cities like London. How it works is that those who have a large car will rent out seats. However, there are a lot of free seats as well because many individuals are just looking for a car companion as they don’t want to drive around alone.
Earn Some Money Through Snapchat
This isn’t exactly an easy career to get into, but with a little luck you can earn some money through Snapchat when you are traveling. Known as SnapTravelers, these individuals are able to take all expenses paid trips to different destinations in order to document their experiences. If you like taking pictures and posting them on social media, then this may be a great way for you to do both while traveling the world for free.
Volunteer At A Hostel
A lot of hostels are in need of help. You might be able to score a free place to sleep by offering to volunteer your time. While it might not be glamorous as you may just have to scrub some toilets, sweep some floors or change bed sheets, you could end up having a free place to stay during your travels and meet some new people as well.
Pet Sitting
If you like animals then you can travel the world for free by pet sitting. It will allow you to stay in an empty apartment or house for free in exchange for watching someone’s pet. Some individuals may also pay for your airfare or transportation to their residence if you have good references or are highly experienced.
Participate In WWOOFing
One of the weirdest things about this opportunity is the name. It has nothing to do with dogs, but there may be some animals involved. The name stands for World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms and allows individuals to exchange work for room and board. Those who participate in the whole WWOOFing experience might do everything from milking a cow, weeding or building a chicken coop.
