how to travel and pay 0$
You've probably dreamed to go around the world or to visit distant countries.
Then you said to yourself (or someone told you) that it cost too much, you do not have the means, it would be too good to be true ...
Well you know what?
Travel the world with few resources, it is possible!
It is even quite simple and accessible to all.
There are a multitude of ways in which to see the world without spending amounts.
This is what I will reveal to you now.
Accommodation
Couchsurfing
It is a concept invented in 2004 that allows you to register for free on the web page to welcome someone on the sofa or in a spare room or to find a host for yourself somewhere in the world.
Everything is free, the idea is to bring people together and allow everyone to travel.
Thus, it can be hosted in downtown Los Angeles, Tokyo or in a house on the water's edge in Indonesia or on a farm in Argentina without paying a dime!
And as a bonus you can get to know an open person (usually the hosts are very open people and interested in new meetings) which will show us his country and we will talk about the rituals and customs.
This is an absolutely great way to travel inexpensively.
For more information, visit the website: www.couchsurfing.org/
Of course, you have to pay transport which can be expensive depending on the destination.
Hostels
Contrary to what one might think, hostels are no longer reserved for young and have no age limit.

Cheap or free transport
Compare prices and cheap flights
To pay less, or even have completely discount (last minute) on flights or even stays, just go on a price comparison site.
My préfèré is Opodo. http://www.opodo.fr/billets-avion/
This absolutely awesome website compares the prices at great speed, finds the cheapest flights and it is the best on the market right now. There are other sites like Jetcost, edreams, liligo, voyagermoinscher, easyvol, but I find that their site is less well and the prices they are sometimes higher.
Cheaper train tickets
You can go to some sites that offer cheaper train tickets as:

Carpooling
Many sites allow you to go on carpooling or to find someone to go with you, or to find a car to take you to your destination.
The best site is: http://www.compartir.org/ registration is free and offers carpooling in 70 different countries.

Working abroad
PVT: Working holiday program
It is reserved for those 18 to 30 years and allows to emigrate for a year in a foreign country to discover the culture and working life, through the issuance of a simplified visa.
France has signed agreements with eight countries: Canada, Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Taiwan and Argentina.

Au Pair
It's a cheap way to really discover a country, its people and customs.
You live in a family for several months, you help in daily tasks and generally you keep children. You can take language courses next door and you have pocket money.
