Festival season is gearing up. We have already mentioned volunteering is a great way to get behind the scenes and earn yourself a free festival ticket and camping pitch in the UK, but can we do this somewhere where it doesn't rain quite so much, please!
During the summer months the UK becomes the music festival capital of the world with every weekend seeing artists and acts performing at large and small events around the country. Seeing bands live at a festival can become an expensive pursuit but one guaranteed way to save money is to work for your ticket.
Tickets for the most popular music festivals can be sold out in a few hours. Taking a volunteer job and working at a festival is a quick way to bypass the hotlines and jump the long queues.

I took a lion for a walk the other week. I know, read that again - I really did say I took a lion for a walk. Taking lions (and tigers – more about that in another post) for a spot of exercise is just one of the things we did when we pitched up in Kanchanaburi, at the doors of the Safari Volunteer Initiative as two of their more incompetent volunteers.
