How cool is that??? I would never have thought about offering a repair or digital images for a stay. I love to cook so I am already thinking about how i could put my talents to use!! Barter Week is cool!!

I know that some broke backpackers do work at hostels for a bed and board, but that it’s so nicely organized…I had many skills to offer, but already have a hard time coordinating my day job and my travelling and blogging….

However I had no idea about barter week, I’m gonna have to keep an eye out for this in the future

Interesting. It’s good there is a registration process that there are designated dates. Sounds like a win-win for both parties.

I especially like the idea of arriving with books in exchange for accommodation. I hope this concept grows in the future.

I saw that many people already doing that in Southeast Asia. It’s definitely a great way to explore new places, connect with awesome people and to promote your own skills and services you’re offering. Thanks for sharing this interesting idea!

At least with a program like this that has a defined week set aside for it, you always know that the B&B is open to offering accommodation for free in exchange for handling their tasks. Bangalue is a cool initiative – it should really catch on.

I have been a massage therapist for many years and have bartered for some amazing things. I even got a heli ski trip for a massage one time. Giving of yourself can mean so much more than simply exchanging money.
