Møn Retreat Center in Denmark is on the lookout for dependable and committed world travellers who are open to a collaborative exchange of goods and services while travelling. The centre offers a serene and quiet environment that inspires you while you forge new friendships with like minded people.
The Møn Retreat work exchange program
A work exchange, also known as work travel or voluntourism, is a type of arrangement where you exchange your time and abilities for food and accommodation.
Daily tasks may include
- Hospitality services
- Helping prepare food
- Serving food to guests
- Dishwashing
- Cleaning rooms, toilets and common areas and other housekeeping tasks
- Renovation and maintenance
- Gardening
- Community work
The centre welcomes people who are interested in offering their presence, commitment and work. You will be part of a community of international people, each one bringing their gifts and contributing to the flavour, diversity and uniqueness of Møn Retreat Center.
The work exchange experience is based on mutual help and collaboration, so there is no monetary exchange involved. This helps keep the relationship as a cultural exchange, without the constraints of a formal work contract.
Travel insurance
Volunteers are required to have travel insurance
Make sure to research this while planning your trip. Travel insurance is a special kind of insurance for travellers that covers medical expenses due to accidents or health problems during your journey. There are many companies that offer different kinds of travel insurance, depending on the type and length of travel, so you can find the best option for your trip and budget.
