Once enrolled at the site, giving some information about yourself, your skills and paid the annual fee that can be individual (€22) or for a couple (€29), you are ready to the research. You can view the offers by filtering them by country, locality and type of occupation. The host describes the kind of help he needs, usually simple things like babysitting, farms tasks, hostels, social, maintenance, practicing a language, gardening and more. You can read the reviews of the previous volunteers and see some pictures to get an idea of the place.
You have to be a little patience, the hosts do not always reply quickly, even often do not reply at all, so you have to widen your preferences to have more opportunities to get a reply. Also the dates chosen may not coincide with their needs and therefore it becomes necessary to be flexible or change destination maybe at the last moment.
We decided to use this means to test ourselves, living and sharing everyday life in close contact with people doing their job, but ready to give hospitality to a perfect strangers. To understand who you are, sometimes you have to get out of your comfort zone.
