Travel For Free

by George Galloway


Spend your days on a Florida beach, stroll under California redwoods, hike in Colorado's Rocky Mountains, or live in a historic lighthouse on a Michigan lake -- absolutely free!  All you have to do is volunteer your time, energy and enthusiasm to help in state and national parks.

If you welcome visitors to campgrounds, lead nature walks, repair historic buildings, dig with archaeologists, search for dinosaur bones, assist with environmental research, clear trails, or answer questions at visitor centers, you are given a camp site, RV site, cabin, hostel and even a hotel room or apartment.

"It's one of the best-kept secrets around," says travel expert Evelyn Kaye, author of the award-winning guide "Free Vacations & Bargain Adventures in the USA" (just out in a new 1998 edition), which describes hundreds of free and bargain vacations with complete details on how to find them.  "You can stay absolutely free in some of the most beautiful places from Hawaii to Alaska if you volunteer your time to help."

More and more people are discovering these bargain adventures, from retired couples with time on their hands to teenagers who want to help the environment.  The opportunities ae astonishing.

Here is Evelyn Kaye's list of the Top 10 Free Vacations:

1.  Free Camping!  Stroll along beaches in Florida's parks, welcome guests, and lead nature walks as a camp host and receive a free campsite in any of the dozens of beautiful Florida State Parks.

2.  Free Food!  All meals, tools and camping are free when you join a friendly group with the Colorado Trail Foundation to clear trails in Colorado's spectacular mountains.

3.  Free Summer!  Teenagers join students from around the country to spend a free summer helping with conservation in state and national parks through the Student Conservation Association.

4.  Free Housing!  Welcome and guide visitors through the spectacular ruins high in the Arizona mountains and stay free in a dorm on a Navajo Indian Reservation.

5.  Free Volcano!  Lead visitors past the black lava and smoking earth of a live volcano at this World Heritage Site and stay free in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.

6.  Free Alligators!  Observe alligators, ducks, turtles, otters and even a panther, bear or bobcat while you stay in a campground or free housing in Florida Everglades National Park.

7.  Free Lighthouse Stay!  Live in a lighthouse for free on Sand Island in Lake Superior, where you lead tours and welcome visitors at Wisconsin Apostle Islands National Lakeshore.

8.  Free Camping!  Deep in the woods you see elk, moose, bear and golden eagles and receive a free campsite as a campground host in remote Wyoming Bridger-Teton National Forest.

9.  Free Apartment!  Share your love of history by giving interpretive programs and get a free apartment for a stay of 30 days or more at Montana Liitle Bighorn Battlefield National Monument.

10.  Free Uniform!  Show visitors around spectacular Ancient Puebloan buildings and assist at the campground in return for a free RV site, training and uniform at Arizona Navajo National Monument.
