Transcript

00:00I am exchanging my work in exchange of stay and food.

00:12So I have cut grass, I have made a mud house, I have also done the work of a coolie.

00:17I have cleaned toilets also, I have cleaned dishes also.

00:22I have also done a garbage run.

00:23When I was in Manali, there was this cafe, so we used to clean that cafe and then we

00:28used to do the garbage runs.

00:39I have been on holiday since a really long time, it's been four years now.

00:58I went to three countries, Myanmar, Thailand, and Cambodia, and we were cooking Indian food

01:08in exchange of stay and food.

01:10Also at the same time, I also do freelancing so that I can take care of my expenses.

01:15Like, you know, sometimes I have to get from place A to place B. So for those expenses,

01:21I take a few projects.

01:22Mostly, I try to take video editing projects.

01:35There is a platform for people like us who want to travel in exchange of work.

01:40We also call it volunteering.

01:42So there are lots of websites that you can use to contact these hosts.

01:46And the other is like you just directly contact them through social media.

01:51Nobody wants their sons or their daughters to just keep traveling and not do anything

02:07out of their life.

02:30The clothes that I'm wearing right now are not even mine.

02:34Somebody just gave this to me, even the shoes, even my phone, you know, my phone is given

02:39by someone.

02:40Somebody gave me a sleeping bag, somebody gave me a tent also, complete strangers.

02:44I think the dependency on money can be reduced in our life.

02:49That's what I have learned.
