Volunteer travel is divided into two types of volunteers: ① Volunteer Experience Officer ② Youth Hostel Volunteer.

1. Volunteer Experience Officer: Volunteer to join a certain group for free to complete a certain activity, help a certain object, etc. while traveling, so you must bear corresponding responsibilities while enjoying the trip.

2. Youth hostel volunteers: Use labor in exchange for accommodation. Most youth hostels and B&Bs recruit volunteers.

What is the significance of volunteer travel?

Most volunteer experience officers will receive a volunteer certificate when they finish their trip. Through volunteer travel, they can get to know some like-minded friends from all walks of life, expand their circle of friends, improve their personal learning and communication skills, and experience the local area at the same time.

The cultural geography, customs and characteristics, and taste the local food.

Youth hostel volunteers generally do not give certificates, but the youth hostel will give some remuneration.

(PS: I am working as a youth host volunteer here. I went to the beautiful Pingtan Island in Fujian, the island closest to Taiwan. You can enjoy the blue tears on the seaside. It is very beautiful.) How to find a place to recruit volunteers: WeChat official account,

Some offline apps such as Douban Group, Weibo, and Xiaohongshu will have inn information for stores recruiting volunteers. I found it on the WeChat official account "Kangaroo Youth Volunteer Travel". They will publish inn information on the official account, and there will also be

Inns on the reputation blacklist can refer to Lightning Protection, and then reply to the corresponding keywords in the background to add the store WeChat for communication.

Things to determine when communicating with the store: ①. Time for work and rest: Volunteering is not a complete coolie. In exchange for accommodation, you still need to have your own relaxing time to experience the local customs.

②. Accommodation conditions: Most B&Bs provide staff dormitories, and there are also single rooms. If you cannot accept shared accommodation, please communicate with the hotel owner.

③. Eating habits: Confirm whether the diet of the B&B is appropriate.

(The inn I went to is owned by a Northeastern owner, and there is no big difference in food.) ④. Work content: When communicating with the store, you must determine whether the work content is within your capabilities.

In most B&Bs, cleaning, making beds, entertaining guests, and cooking are all relatively easy.

Little cuties, when volunteering, don't be too blind. You should understand your own needs. If it is different from your expectations or you are uncomfortable with it, you should communicate with the store so that you can end the trip as soon as possible.
