curious if anyone might have stayed in hostels that help with job search, or will let you stay in exchange for work?

I know if you stay at the Flying Pig in the netherlands (Amsterdam mainly) that they have WHAP (Willing Helpiers at the Pig) program. You work for 4 hours a day and get your bed and 1 meal for free.. Hope that helps.. You can go to their website at www.flyingpig.nl

That is an awsome idea, will have to look into that when i get to amsterdam. I am defintely going to try and stay at the flying pig when i get there. It is also going to be near the end of trip so it will be interesting to see if i will have much money by then!

I spose they love it cause they get free work and tax free!
