    Episode 7 Keep it SAFE!

    Today, we will go over some key details to take in consideration before leaving your country in order to safe abroad. This is a short intro of things to consider when deciding to move somewhere else. You will need more than just a toothbrush to make your journey a success. Here are some interesting sites you can check if you do need to travel. To travel abroad (experience life with locals) Servas: It's a Federation where people can connect and exchange in order to create world peace. A bit like the concept of Couch surfing, but you need to pass the interview before being part of the group. Double check if you do have to pay an annual membership fee. You can either be a traveler or a host.  Couch Surfing: It's a way to travel and meet locals from all around the world. Yes, it's free. You can connect with a bunch of people. You can either be a traveler or a host. Once you traveled and met someone on couch surfing, you can rate them and comment on their page (to tell everyone a positive opinion of that person) if you feel like it. There are others ways to get ''verified'' on couch surfing to make sure it's safe, but in my experience, when living abroad, it's great to share your couch and meet new traveler who can help you rediscover your ''host city''.  Woofing: This is more like a work abroad and live where you work style. Usually, WWOOF means World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms. WWOOF is the connection between volunteers and organic farms. Conditions vary depending on farms. Look on their website for more information. Good apps for safe Transportation: Good thing is that when you use applications, you can rate your driver and a follow up of the driver. So far, all my experiences with Grab and Didi have been great.  Grab:  Use them for transport, food delivery and payment solutions. (Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand) Didi: Use them for transport. (The link is the link for their application) (China) You can use it sometimes in other Uber: For Americas Also, I'm not including bike applications, but I would vividly recommend them.  Many many major cities have shared bikes applications. Mobile, Jumpbike, Ofo, Velib, Bixi...  Enjoy!
