A couple of backpacks

In Cuzco, Peru we worked in the bar at the point hostel, and that was, by the way, the exact place where we first meet (but that's a story for another post). The job was great fun: besides pouring drinks we were  (ir)responsable for taking people out to the clubs and organizing field trips, like paintball and go karting. In exchange we got free accommodation, free food and discounts on drinks.
Just like us, there are lots of other travelers that find working in hostels a great way of extending your stay for a low cost.  The jobs can vary a lot: you could help with the cleaning, housekeeping, frontdesk, bar and even in the kitchen  if the hostel has one.
Sounds good? Well, it gets better: while looking on the internet today I just found this website  hosteljobs.net which seems like a good tool for finding and arranging jobs prior to your arrival.
Check it out, give it a try: if you are lucky enough you might even find your future wife/husband to be sleeping on the bunk above you.
Cheers to all
