Casual Work while travelling South America

There is always hostel work....you wont get paid but you will most likely get free accomodation, a free meal or two, and a discount on drinks. And its probably a lot more fun than picking grapes or other labor jobs. I havent done any "labor jobs" but i've done hostels and tourist restaurants and I had an absolute blast and was able to sustain another month or two. Just make sure whatever you do you have fun doing!
