Your collaboration can be solely financial for the cost of your trip (accommodation in the community itself and food) or you can also work on the project that is being carried out. It is about getting to know closely the social, cultural, economic and political reality of the community that receives you.

It is an environmentally friendly way of traveling that can be done in different ways: visiting an ecovillage or participating in a volunteer trip that develops an environmental protection program, as we have seen previously.
Ecovillage is a relatively new concept created by urbanites who have exchanged asphalt for the countryside . It is a small town in which all the people who live there have the common goal of being socially, ecologically and economically sustainable. Its motivation is respect for nature, the use of renewable energies, and food and economic self-sufficiency. Some ecovillages have accommodation prepared for visitors , people interested in their way of life who want to share some time in company. What do you think about this option? alternative-trips free camping Wild camping is the best option for free and lonely souls who love the 'silence' of nature. Of course, you need to know the regulations of the chosen place because in many places free camping is prohibited or very restricted. Find out before! In Spain, this option is allowed as long as there are no more than three tents or caravans in the same area and the number of people does not exceed ten, and with a maximum stay of three days. But this is not all: each autonomous community has its own regulations, throughout the country, a total of 17 regulations on camping . The most advisable thing before camping, whether in Spain or elsewhere, is that you contact the local Administration to find out the conditions. Additionally, in some places, even if it is allowed, you have to notify them of the time you will be camping. Remember it? With these ideas you can start preparing your next trip.
