Show HN: Use your skills to travel the world
- soneca 12y agoI am an early employee at worldpackers, if you have any questions and all that stuff...
- cuchoi 12y agoI loved the idea! Some questions: 1. Is the a way to search by number of hours required to work? 2. The "days off" are weekly? Depending on the minimum time? 3. The idea is that all skills are worth the same amount of hours, right? 4. Do you guys charge a fee to the travelers? Best!
- soneca 12y ago1. Not yet (better search is on the backlog) 2. Yes, days off are weekly, not depending on the minimum time. 3. Yes, but after application there is conversation between traveler and hosts where you can try to negotiate that. 4. Yes, there is a fee per trip confirmed (but there lots of ways of getting discounts from the original $50 fee - if you want one, my email is at my info) Thanks!
- CyberDildonics 12y agoI also love the idea. The closest thing they have to programmer is web developer though, which is unfortunate.
- soneca 12y agoYes, the issue is that is very rare for hospitality business need more than a website developer (still more specific than web dev).
- theviajerock 12y agoThat is absolutelly great.... I am will add to my favorites and see it later...
- soneca 12y agoThanks! I imagined people on HN would like the idea as soon as I started working here.
- wodenokoto 12y agoI couldn't select the search box so it was impossible to do a search. Instead I clicked "Web developer" and chose a random hostel, which offered me "reception work on my vacation". That seems kind of odd
- soneca 12y agoMay you share your browser/OS setup? I will take a look on this. Thanks!
- wodenokoto 12y agoOSX Yosemite, Firefox latest beta. Similar problem on latest Ubuntu running the latest stable release of Firefox. Adblock+ installed on both.
