Summary
I found a listing on Worldpackers (here is the discount ) two months ago, applied, bought a flight, and now I'm living in Taiwan for a month teaching English to kids in exchange for free accommodation. In this episode I break down exactly what a work exchange is , what my day actually looks like here in Taiwan, and whether it's worth doing as a digital nomad with remote work on the side. I've done three of these now across Taiwan, Italy and Poland, so I've got a clear picture of what works and what to look for before you book. If you're trying to travel longer without burning through savings, this one's worth your time.
