#256 | Working away your holiday

Hello you,

Do you like travel? I mean actually travelling, not just the idea of..

I’ll admit I sometimes indulge an unwarranted amount in the latter, revelling in my daydreams of trips I may never actually take. Sometimes, I think about how cool it would be to do that 4-day trek with all my camping gear and cooking supplies on my back. I imagine going to one of those surf schools everybody on my Instagram seems to be training at. Or backpacking across some exotic foreign country.

But people (me as well, sadly) always have reasons not to go places. Jobs, kids, dogs, financial reasons. To those who have that last problem, have you not heard of Workaway?

Go find your next volunteer or work vacation. Maybe get your hands dirty at a permaculture farm in the hills? Or teach English to kids in Poland? Hosts usually offer food and accommodation in exchange for your help on whatever project they’re working on. So $$$ will hopefully not play spoilsport.

Go on then, get packing. You can thank me later.
