See the world for free, and help a fellow human while you do it

Mark Baldwin saw the potential to match cash strapped travelers with people who need a hand and has set up Helpandhost.net

If someone told you that you could visit the places you’ve always dreamed about visiting and that you could do it whilst paying nothing for your accommodation, you’d ask them whether they had a: accidentally swallowed those mystery green pills that had been gathering dust on top of the fridge for the last two years, or b: finally cracked up worrying about their psychology dissertation? You definitely wouldn’t be expecting that they were stone cold sober and telling the truth. A few months ago you probably would have been right, but that was a few months ago…before helpandhost.

Its a new kid on the block for resources for volunteer travel, but I think I can see its niche and where it can grow to.
