Today I was browsing volunteering jobs abroad. I think this opportunity alone is enough to fulfill my dreams. I want to travel abroad. I want to serve the poor. At the same time, I can make money through it. So, I will like to apply for it. However, there's only one problem and that is my fitness issue.

My boyfriend is doing that. Although monetary wise you’ll be spending more than you’d be earning if you consider the airfare. But hey you’re helping people and travelling and saving money on board and lodging. I’d want to experience it in the future.

Are there work arounds for your fitness issue? Something you can do? Or if it is due to issues out side your control, maybe they could exempt you? I hope you get to, it would fulfill so many of your dreams

No, I will not get any payment. On the contrary, I have to pay them. However, they will give me food and accommodation.

If I were young I would love to do that. Now we just travel when we want and we are retired.

If it's volunteering jobs, how can you earn? I think Money in those cases is simbolic.

They pay a negligible amount of money during the experience.

I encountered that offer. An offer from colombo sri lanka, they need native teachers, for a salary of 120 usd a month. I was like, thinking, if they needed english teachers, why were they so choosy? Native teachers hardly come to countries like china and japan, how much more colombo?

Yes, you're right. I have also applied for teaching jobs. Don't know whether they will consider me.
