MSNBC Travel (of all places), has a good list of ways to roam for free. Their top 9 are
- House sit
- Trail maintenance volunteering
- Sister city exchanges
- Workamping (US specific)
- Driveaways
- Couchsurfing
- WWOOFing
- Rotary Club Scholarships
- Home swaps
Of these Couchsurfing and WWOOFing (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms) are the most attractive to me. I haven’t done either, but I’ve met several people in the midst of long WWOOFing and Couchsurfing trips who were paying nearly nothing to roam the world. Damn good options if you are up for some vagabonding.
