Whenever you're feeling a little down, maybe stuck in a rut. Maybe you're looking for inspiration, something to do. Or you know your heart is seeking something a little more in life. Something's just not right. Buddha called it Dukkha - a wheel out of kilter. Something's missing. So if you are feeling like this - here's a great site I recommend : www.helpx.net This is a wonderful resource and listing of all the wonderful rural places/farms/B&Bs in the world that need volunteers in exchange for food and accommodation. Its like wwoof, but this organisation has a really good website that wwoof doesnt. Simply because it has 2 things wwoof doesnt. Photos, and reviews.
We have already used helpx.net look for our 2 hosts in Spain last year and they were great.
Now am feeling a little out of it, so will spend some time browsing the wonderful places I could go to. Shall I start in Asia? Or shall I venture to Americas today?
Another resource fantastic for wanderlusts like us if you havent already heard of it
Couchsurfing - http://www.couchsurfing.org/ - A wonderful open community of the world that will lend you a couch (or a bed) if you need to crash for a couple of days. The usual paranoid questions like "Eh, safe or not?" will be answered by "It's actually quite safe because there are reviews of a hosts you can read, and also, u get to meet people who are usually of the same mindset as you. Likes to travel, meet new people, and are open to new things and new ideas.
The internet really is taking over the world in many aspects. But I am sure glad that its serving alot more good than we ever thought possible. People are given voices. And things are alot more 'open' and transparent than ever before.
