Hone your skills around the world in exchange for room and board

If you’re not yet earning enough from your online business to travel frequently, give Worldpackers a look.

On there you’ll find literally hundreds of places around the world that will give you meals and accommodation in exchange for working a few hours per week.

Many of the placements give you the opportunity to practice and sharpen your online skills.

For example:

15 hours per week creating content and doing marketing for an English school in Vietnam – in exchange for 3 meals a day, a bed in a shared dorm, free tours, free laundry, and free language lessons.
10 hours per week doing web design for a guest house in Lebanon – in exchange for 3 meals a day, a bed in a shared dorm, free laundry, and free hiking tours.
20 hours per week doing marketing for a water park in Ecuador – in exchange for 3 meals a day, a private bedroom, free laundry, drinks, and tours.

Looks like you can go pretty much anywhere in the world via Worldpackers.

There are three types of trips available: work exchange, social impact, and eco program. The hosts are all verified by Worldpackers and rated and reviewed by other members, so it’s easy to see which opportunities are the best.
