Chapter 2wo: The 5 Paths to Becoming a Nomad
For some travelers, volunteering is the perfect start to nomadic living.
But I can’t personally vouch for this travel style or the specific programs and methods (I’ve never tried the volunteer route).
So just be sure to also do your own research and pay attention to your gut (avoid scammers, look for reviews, avoid dangerous areas and find companies with a good reputation).
Popular volunteering options for nomads:
Homestays
Requirements for volunteering abroad:
18 or older (generally)
Healthy or able to do required work (especially if there’s physical labor)
Tips for travel volunteering:
Have a savings
Have a backup plan
Watch for scams—be vigilant and choose reputable programs
Have a longer-term vision (work towards the next step, like documenting your journey to build your personal brand, learning a new skill or creating sustainable online income)
