How to Use the Workaway Program

May 17, 2012

Tips by workawayers Eric and Chantalle on how to use the Workaway website and get a unique travel experience.

What is Workaway?

We are a site set up to promote fair exchange and friendship, as well as volunteering and work opportunities.

Our philosophy is simple: A few hours honest help a day in exchange for food and accommodation and an opportunity to travel more immersively.

Run by travellers for travellers, our aim is to connect culture seekers, budget travellers and language learners with families, individuals or organisations that are looking for help with a range of varied and interesting activities.

Join the world's leading community for sustainable travel & cultural exchange to connect, help & stay with 1000s of hosts from 184 countries.
And meet other like minded travellers across the globe!
