Travel is at the top of most people’s dream list, so I’m always on the lookout for travel tips and secrets to help make dreams come true. I recently came across an excellent article, Talk Your Way to a Free Vacation in Spain, by travel writer, Evelyn Kanter.
Here’s a clip from the article:
“Call it a volunteer vacation, a learning vacation, even adventure travel. Just call it a free vacation -- except for the airfare to Spain. Considering the sad state of the economy, and the cost of vacations, this is a great deal to look into.
It's a unique English language immersion program that is free for English-speakers. The program is known as "VaughanTown" after its namesake Richard Vaughan.
Here's how it works -- Native English speakers from all over the world exchange conversation with Spaniards, and in return for your time and input, you spend a week in one of the program's four star hotel venues in some of the most beautiful areas of Spain. The Spaniards, meanwhile, get to improve their fluency in the quickest, most intensive manner possible on earth. Both groups prosper, exchanging culture, conversation, knowledge and friendship during a very special week.”
