Young Chinese travelers are also looking to experience something different．Rather than join package tours to tourist attractions, they are getting to know the locals by combining travel with work and study．Let's explore some unconventional ways of travelling．

Check homestayfinder．com or homestaybooking．com．
Laboring on a farm
This is a way to learn about sustainable living and meet local farmers．In return for volunteer work on organic farms, your hosts offer free food and accommodation．You usually work for at least four hours a day and tasks range from composting （堆制肥料） to building with mud bricks．Willing Workers On Organic Farms （www．finternational．org） is the main organization which facilitates these experiences．For more projects, visit: pickyourown．org/jobsonfarms．htm
Volunteering
Volunteering gives you a sense of satisfaction as you improve the lives of those less fortunate．You can work in a hospital, help build schools, or volunteer at an orphanage in Africa．Do not expect to live in luxury and be prepared to get your hands dirty．Volunteers pay for their own airfares．
