Backpacking Colombia
Hi!
I have a question for people living in South America, more likely in Colombia. My friend and I want to visit (summer 2017) and improving our Spanish. We thought about an exchange, volunteering.. but it is very expensive! Our preferred destination would be Cartagena in Colombia.
We then thought about backpacking and "working under-table" for like farms, restaurants, etc. during like 1 week at different places.
My question is; is it doable? Do you think we could easily find small paid jobs for a week without a work visa?
We thought about couchsurfing too.
Any suggestions are welcome. (I also speak French)
Thank you
