I'm glad to know that what you're doing on your trips is a positive balance, and that you've gathered a lot of experience in exchange jobs

What a great idea you had to reduce the cost of your trips, doing these exchanges of accommodation for work, without a doubt you save a good amount of money that you can use for something else

I loved that you met this couple who own the hostel, and that they had a lot of empathy with all of you, as you say, that attitude makes things work better in both directions

Thank you very much dear friend @lauramica for sharing these experiences in the hostels you've been to

Have a beautiful day
