WHILE the white sandy beaches and clear blue waters make the Maldives a bucket list destination for many, its price tag leaves a lot to be desired. <\/p>\n

But one woman on TikTok revealed how she secured free accommodation, food, and other activities in the Maldives without spending a penny. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

While Monica, who is known as monicaroams on the social media platform, was originally invited to the Maldives on a free trip through work, she extended her stay for an additional month at no extra cost. <\/p>\n

In a video on TikTok, she said: "So you know what I did, I applied to a work exchange, and within like two hours, they replied to me. <\/p>\n

"And now I have free housing, free scuba diving, and free food for a month in exchange for me working in a juice bar on an island in the Maldives. <\/p>\n

"Take this as your sign to go and do a work exchange and live somewhere you want to live for basically free." <\/p>\n

Towards the end of the video, which Monica filmed on a beach in the Maldives, she revealed how she uses a scheme called Worldpackers to source all of her work exchange opportunities. <\/p>\n

The Worldpackers app is free to download, although membership costs around \u00a340 per year.<\/p>\n

Once they're members, users can then apply for as many experiences as they want. <\/p>\n

Sun Online Travel scoured the Worldpackers website to see what else was on offer, and there were plenty of exotic destinations to choose from.<\/p>\n

For example, users can stay in a small eco-hostel in Las Galeras in the Dominican Republic for free in exchange for some housekeeping, cleaning, and bartending work. <\/p>\n

As well as being able to stay in the hostel for free, other perks include a free laundry service, free tours as well as free drinks, and access to hostel parties. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, another hotel in Polizzi Generosa in Sicily asks volunteers to work as bartenders and waiters in exchange for free accommodation.<\/p>\n

Monica's video has had more than 50,000 views, with hundreds of users flooding the comments to share their opinions. <\/p>\n

Many people described Monica's free stay as "amazing" and wanted to give Worldpackers a try too. <\/p>\n

Last year, TikToker and travel expert Elie Stalard also revealed how she used Worldpackers to secure free accommodation.<\/p>\n

But if you don't fancy volunteering at a hotel or hostel, then there are other ways to nab free holidays too. <\/p>\n
