By joining this service (annual membership is approximately US$30),
you will gain access to a classified system of people looking for
caretakers in exchange for rent-free living. The opportunities vary
widely in scope from ranch hands, to organic farm workers, campground
hosting, motel management, nursing for the elderly, to just plain house
sitting. Locales for your next potential gig could be anywhere in the
world, from numerous U.S. locations, to Australia, to Europe and even
Micronesia.

WWOOF is an acronym for a number of different phrases, the most apt
of which in my mind is “World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms”. It
is an international organization (located in over 70 countries) of
organic farms, gardens, businesses, ranches, (you name it) where you can
exchange your services for accommodations, food, and training.
Required services include basic garden and farm maintenance, as well
as cooking, teaching, caring for children, and handy work. There is
usually some work suitable for anybody willing to adopt this lifestyle.

If you are happy to spend your vacation house-sitting for somebody
else, you may find the right opportunity here. You will find lists upon
lists of people requesting house sitters for periods of time from a few
days to a few months, anywhere in the world. In many cases there are a
few hoops to jump through in order to gain the opportunity with
liability and bonding issues, and already living or traveling in the
same country carries an added advantage.
You can choose from the limited free membership options or the full US$45 one year membership, depending on your needs.

Much like Caretaker’s Gazette and woofing, you will find many
worldwide opportunities to proverbially “pick blueberries for a living”.
The prospects aren’t limited to organic farms though; you will find
hostel management jobs, artist retreat internships, in addition to
various agricultural and permaculture settings.
For US$20/year, membership will help you gain access to many great
listings and a user-friendly system of contacting hosts and searching
for opportunities.

Couch Surfers are a network of people who are willing to open up
their homes and hearts to frugal travelers, as well as be those
travelers when they are not hosting guests. The site prides itself on
referrals and having only high quality members, and has a comprehensive
program in place to ensure the safety of both traveler and host. But as
with any chance to stay at a stranger’s place for free, a prudent amount
of caution should be exercised.
Auto Driveaway
offer is priceless – literally. They’re a delivery company that matches
drivers with cars that need shipping, and all you pay is a refundable
deposit and the cost of gas.
