subject: What To Do In Sofia On Your Bulgaria Holidays [print this page] If you are planning cheap holidays to Bulgaria, did you know that there are many ways that you can get free accommodation during your travels?
Here are a few ideas that will make your cheap holidays to Bulgaria much more affordable:
Couchsurfing
A great way to save a lot of money on your cheap holidays to Bulgaria and make some cool friends is to sign up for the website http://www.couchsurfing.org. This is a "hospitality exchange network" website allowing people all over the world to connect and host each other. How does it work? The website lets you create a profile and enter information about yourself and your travels. You can then browse the database by location, and find people who are living in the city in Bulgaria that you want to visit. If you read your profile and you think that you might get along, you can send them a request to sleep on their couch or spare room. If they say yes, (and they usually will), you will have a free place to stay during your cheap holidays to Bulgaria and a chance to get to know the destination from the perspective of someone who lives there! Be sure to show your appreciation for the free place to sleep by offering to do the dishes, or taking your hosts out for a meal.
Although sleeping in a strangers house might seem scary at first, the website has an official verification system and a way of displaying references from previous guests, so it is very safe. According to the website statistics, at the time of writing this there are 7,136 people living in Bulgaria signed up on couchsurfing. Chances are that you will get along with one of these people and have a great time staying at their home!
WWOOFing
If you would love to experience traditional rural life on your cheap holidays to Bulgaria, there is a way to stay on a beautiful organic farm in the Bulgarian countryside completely for free! The WWOOFing program stands for World-Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms, and it encompasses many countries around the world including Bulgaria. The way it works is that visitors can connect with local farmers in Bulgaria and stay with them for free in exchange for helping out with farm chores. Usually 3-4 hours of work per day is exchanged for a free place to stay and delicious home cooked breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Not only is this a way to save money on your cheap holidays to Bulgaria, it is a chance to get to know a local farming family and learn firsthand about Bulgaria culture. To join up, visit http://www.wwoofbulgaria.org/.
House Swaps
If you have a house in your home country, another great way to get free accommodation is to simply swap places with a family in Bulgaria for a couple of weeks. You can stay in their home and they can stay in yours, and you will both have an exotic holiday while only having to pay for flights and food. House swapping is also a better travel experience than staying in a hotel room, because you will be able to live a lifestyle just like a local and get a better sense of what Bulgaria is like. Check out http://www.guardianhomeexchange.co.uk or just search for "House Swap Bulgaria".
These are a few clever ways that you can make your cheap holidays to Bulgaria even cheaper by staying in this beautiful country for free!
