WWOOF, World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms.

Basically, you go where ever, and do work, about 6 hours a day, 6 days a week. You're volunteering, you're not getting paid, BUT, you get free room and board, so free food. Basically all you gotta do is afford the plane ticket and you can go. You're not getting paid really, but it allows you to go somewhere else, basically it's a working vacation. So whatever country you wanna go to work in, you get hands on experience with that culture, very good immersion, also where I was looking, there were other workers, too. IE, one place had Taiwanese and Koreans working with you.

Figured people here would be interested. Maybe most of us aren't the type for farming work and whatnot, but if you wanna get away and do something, it's free, besides your time. Also, you can learn stuff there and take your knowledge back home, or use the job there as a springboard for other jobs in that country, and it's something to put down on a resume, working abroad.

So if you've got no money, and no future where you're at, this could be a good option to just get away.
