In the words of Saint Augustine,” The world is a book and those who do not travel read only a page. “In our lives we wonder, we awe, we reminisce the joys of being in an unknown land at one point or the other. Going through the travel blogs and Instagram pages, all we do is to wish to be a part of those surreal images. And why not? There are plenty of reasons for it, after all exploration is a part of human spirit. Travelling opens gates to learning and understanding of great cultures, values, historical places and monuments. One finds the true inner self while travelling.

The memories that one makes in his journey are etched in his heart for life long. Those memories shall serve as tales to their coming generation someday. So if traveling is such an important aspect of life. Why haven’t you packed your bags yet? The answer is obvious to everyone. The complexity of making a trip sums up finally to a gloomy look at our pocket. Yes, your pocket! You got to have green bills to pay your bills abroad or any place you want to be. But can I travel with little or no raid on my pocket? Yes I can. All about setting goals and achieving them through some tasks, one by one, one each at a time. Construction jobs aboard and construction volunteering abroad are some of those few tasks you got to look up to.
Some sites like hovos are platforms for such wanderlusts to limit their expenses of travelling only to the cost of transportation. Hovos brings clients called ‘hosts’ and some ‘volunteers’ together with the motive of achieving symbiosis. The host gets his work done by the volunteer in return of which the volunteer gets shelter and meals amidst his travel. Generally these volunteers are budget travelers, who move from place to place interacting with the native population as well as enjoying the scenic beauty of that place. The host might want a helping hand in his field or farm, or help with his child’s care or even a volunteer in building. Thus, construction volunteering abroad is so crucial for both host and the volunteer.

The concept of earning while traveling itself attracts a lot of people towards traveling places. Many people see this as an opportunity to gain some work experience while the others find it as an earning opportunity to equalize their travel expenses. Some of the hosts apart from the food and shelter do offer some money based on the quality of work and the need of the volunteer. There are rich and generous people who are willing to help foreigners in an unknown land. Among various errands construction jobs abroad, construction volunteering abroad, renovation volunteer projects, construction projects abroad is very much common to the youth. They find it easy and convenient as it does not require any prior special skills but only some dedicated work.

CONSTRUCTION WORK ABROAD WHILE YOU TRAVEL
Humans as we know of today are good at two things-destruction and reconstruction. Sooner or later we all realize that to move ahead we need to build bridges not to blow them up. Hence giving our total energies to constructive processes is far better than planning to destroy something. The world is continuously being inhabited by more and more people and we need homes for them. If we don’t build houses, skyscrapers, complexes what shall be ours to call ‘home’. Hence construction is one of the basic demands of today. Construction jobs in our main land as well as construction jobs abroad are growing tremendously due to this urgent need of habitation.

Though there are differences between construction jobs in the Asian subcontinent and construction jobs abroad in the West. In Europe or the US the construction job is both commercialized and self-aided. They have towering skyscrapers and commercial complexes and at the same time we can find beautifully designed mansions and houses on the country side. Unlike the Indian subcontinent, the use of concrete is restricted mainly to the commercialized buildings while the houses are basically made of wood. A lot of wood work is involved in these houses. These houses stretch on vast lands and have lush green lawns and gardens surrounding them. Houses are comfortable, cozy and don’t lack in any amenity or luxury. Everything is planned and designed beforehand and according to the needs of the family.

Most of these houses have backyard for their family gatherings. They even have a swimming pool, the size of which depends upon the type of family i e. a nuclear family or a joint family. A well-established garage and adequate space for parking vehicles before the house is also planned. They have well maintained front lawns and some of these lawns have a tree house for their children to play. A separate dog house for their pets is an integral part of these lawns. One feature which separates these people from the rest of us is that they believe in cooperation. Due to which they easily achieve what they want in return for the things they provide. For them it’s more than a monetary business but a fair exchange of resources. They are interested in having people who can volunteer in building their houses, tree houses, dog houses, garages, fencing etc., in return of which they can help them with lodging or with food, sometimes even money. Tree houses can be of different sizes ranging from a small room to a multi section tree house. A person with skills and knowledge of working with wood can easily work on such construction projects abroad.

Volunteering in repairs and renovation apart from volunteering in building is also very common and works on the same principle of service for service. Maintenance and repair of old houses also fetches a lot of incentives. Thus construction jobs abroad and construction volunteering abroad have more popularity as a community service than as a labor job. It is an esteemed job to perform unlike the Indian subcontinent.

As we began about the ways of finding solutions to travelling cheap we have finally arrived at something called construction jobs abroad and construction volunteering abroad. These terms might be new for us but it is no rocket science. It can be comprehended well when one puts it in practice. We need platforms like ‘Hovos’ where the host and the volunteer can get mutual cooperation. The mentality of inferior work or small work should be done away with and we should embrace newer ways of mutual coexistence. Only then we can live a life of content and satisfaction. For Confucius also said, “Wherever you go, go with all your heart.”
