Do you want to stop being locked up for more than 8 hours to live the experience of your life?
Do you really want to go to another country but you are without money for the stay?
Do you want to learn another language but don't have money for the classes?
With these tips you can live in Brazil and in almost any other part of the world without
spending money for accommodation
What?
As we did
We are Denise and Jorge
We met nine years ago on the first day of college
we became best friends and our curiosity for the world and languages brought us to Brazil
country that became our second home
Today we tell you how to live in Brazil without spending money for accommodation
Coming to Brazil without spending in accommodation is not as difficult as you imagine.
And no, we're not talking about you sleeping in your friend's sofa
Or your friend's friend
No
No
Not
We are talking about volunteering
A volunteer doesn't work for money but for accommodation
And what does a volunteer do?
How's their job?
Volunteer of what?
Or what?
The type of work you do will depend a lot on the volunteering you choose
we choose a hostel
you can work in reception
cleaning
housekeeping
Photography
bartender
kitchen
etc. etc. etc.
etc
or a mixture of all those things in a quantity of hours determined per week
In addition to hostels there are also experiences of social impact and ecological projects
There is something for everyone. It depends which is your need and what things you are willing to do
Because if you choose to clean but you do not like cleaning chores ...
Or if you choose to work in a farm and you don't like to get your hands dirty
We have both worked as volunteers and here we tell you some reasons why we motivated to come
Watch out!
That there may be no turning back
Once you go packer, you never go back
Immerse yourself in the language
Live in a country where doesn't speak your language
forces you to learn it and speak it a lot faster
Besides, you will not only be in contact with one language
If you choose to work in a hostel like us
You will be in contact with more languages than you imagine
New cultures
Working in a hostel also teaches you about other cultures
you will be in contact with many guests from all over the world
and in our personal experience we have also met many guests from the interior of Brazil
with whom we have learned much more about regions, food, their music
and even places to visit
great friends
And sometimes those people that we mentioned in the previous point are going to become great friends
Who will receive you with arms open when you visit them
on any side of the world
Know new places
Living in a hostel not only gives you time to get to know the city
If you organize well you can also know the whole country
What?
The whole country?
Yes!
So take advantage of your extra hours to know as much as you can
These are just some of the reasons why a volunteer experience is an experience that will change you for the rest of your life
And also when you're an old man you have to have stories to tell
What better than living a packer experience!
In a different country!
With new people!
Learning new things!
How to find your experience?
You have three ways to find your experience
Volunteer experiences, of course ...
I found my volunteering through a page called Worldpackers
that my friend recommended it to me
but I know there are other pages that are more specialized in other
type of volunteering or in other regions of the planet
The second option is for a friend to recommend you to work there
How it happened to me with Jorge
I came to Brazil to visit Jorge and make a trip for six weeks
and the last week I said
"Nossa!"
I have to stay here in Sao Paulo
And then I went to do my interview with the Manager and I called my dad and I said "Dad, I got the job!" and then I came back
And now I'm here with Jorge
In Brasilvivientes!
Really! if I wouldn't have found this job, this vlog would not be possible
Thank you!
The third option is that you enter direct contact with the hostel
Through the search engine of your preference, you find the hostel
and you contact them directly
you send them an email with your résumé, what are your expectations
and ask them if they have a availability for you
This option will also exempt you from some fees that you have to pay in some websites
How long can you stay?
Remember that nothing is said and the hostels are flexible with time
So if you want to stay a few more months, it's just a question of talking
Although there are hostels that ask for a minimum stay
And don't close yourself to a plan either! Let it flow
Something very important to keep in mind is that there are hostels and hostels
There is something for everyone!
If you like the party, there are party hostels
but you have to keep in mind that live in an eternal party, maybe it's a bit tired
Think well before choosing your hostel!
Hey you! If you want to specialize in a course that always interested you outside your country
Being a volunteer can help you solve the expenses of your stay
Consider ir!
Watch the video and learn how!
And if you have questions, write us here
That we are going to answer you
And we're going to help you!
And if after watching this video you still ask
What were the things that motivated these two guys to live as "packers" in another country?
Cheer up and give yourself the opportunity to live some time away from home?
Time goes by much faster than you imagine
You can not always do it
And if you're already making problems with the procedures
quiet, hold your car, amigo!
Cause the only thing you need to live in Brazil
It's the desire to do it
Nothing else
Taking the residence is like this
Like this, like this...
There are many people who do not know that they have all those options a click away
So share this video
Share it with that best friend you have that you think you need an experience away from home
Give him the push
And come here to Brazil if you want
bye
And that's it, bye
Tell us
Live your "packer" experience!
