Travel is expensive, but invaluable for the experiences it provides. I don't believe money should be a determining factor in whether you can grow, learn, explore, or challenge your beliefs. So, we are doing our part as a host through various platforms, such as Couchsurfing, WarmShowers, WWOOFing, and WorkAway. We are also reaping the benefits as recipients and travelers. We live a simple, low income life, so it is gratifying to be able to give and receive in alternative, outside the box ways.
