| My best friend Amy and I figuring out a map in Rome |
Have you ever heard of a work exchange website? My friend Jess sent me
this today...basically, you click on a map of the world to where you want to travel, and then explore thousands of posts by local families willing to give you a place to stay in exchange for ~5 hours/day of work.
I was completely intrigued and spent the better half of my morning searching through some of the options that Workaway sponsors. Options ranged from helping a wealthy Barcelona family with their English to living alone on and tending a farm in South Africa, and while some had a definitive time period (i.e. I will be away and need help for the month of July, 2013), others were as easygoing as, "stay anywhere from 2-8 weeks." Can you imagine traveling anywhere in the world and having a free place to stay while your only obligation is gossiping with a cute Spanish mom or riding horses in Africa!?
This got my travel juices flowing and I started desperately scheming ways to justify taking a trip. All hopeful paths lead back to the dead ends that are my boyfriend, job and lease. Sigh. Someday I will satiate you, travel bug. Until then, some travel photos from trips past that are giving me the visceral feeling of longing.
