(UPDATE: DID NOT WORK OUT AS WANTED SO LEFT AFTER 3 MONTHS) Read about it here.
I found a really good opportunity in Norway on Workaway, they said they had one more position to fill in, but 8 months is mandatory. I didn’t think twice when I texted back that I’m super interested and would love to do it!
2 days later they said they chose me and I cried in excitement!!!
So just a little about how it works: you have to take care of the flight tickets and visa, if needed any. Most of these jobs are volunteering but gives full board for the candidate which means accommodation and food. The jobs can be anything you can think of, gardening, babysitting, house renovating, company needed for sailing tour across the ocean, picking bananas in Hawaii, dogsledding, teaching English, doing yoga…etcetc.
This website gives an opportunity for anyone who loves adventures, traveling, living in a different country without having to pay for accommodation and food. You do the job you assigned to and in return you get full board.
Some of them offers a little payment. These are usually just a small amount to be able to get around the neighborhood or the country.
I can totally recommend using the website to anyone, I only had and heard good experiences so far, but they also have reviews!!!
