My first Slow Travel/Work Exchange Part II
In my previous post I discussed how I got my first slow travel/work exchange gig back in 2016. I know every place I’m sure does things differently, so I can only go based off of my experience. I arrived and checked in with reception and went to bed. The whole time leading up to the…
