Pros

  • Check out workaway and worldpackers, just lie about your age when signing up. You can also volunteer directly at many places.
  • Workaway and similar pages can be useful. Also it's easier to make new friendship with people you are working with the whole day, rather than just random interactions.
  • Check out workaway and woofing. Volunteering for accommodation/food depending on the setup. Stick to ones with good reviews.
  • Look on apps like workaway, and couchsurfing. like you can get roundtrip tickets from man-lagos for $700 then youll have $800 to spend.
  • Best option is to use Workaway or Helpx or woofing sites to get place to volunteer. There you can find place to stay and meal in exchange for 15-20 hour a week work.

Cons

  • Check out workaway. Tons of jobs listed. But probably not much time for your friends. I suggest just going solo

Volunteer programs or workaway (although be careful here, there's a lot of bad ones) Doing the same thing for awhile, but still with the intention of experiencing a new culture, may sustain your interest in travel with lowering the mental load.

Likewise WWOOF and Workaway jobs rarely reach the thresholds required for proper visa sponsorship. Lots of people do this as 'under the table working' (and some nationalities can do it under youth mobility visas or similar), but it's a risk.

Yea I have been reviewing workaway and they often ask for "general maintenance" help or that they will ask you to do household projects but I have no experience with manual labor. I am open to volunteering/tasks but don't want to disappoint anyone. I like the teaching english options too. But the sites are pretty remote and I think twice as a female solo travellor.
