4 . Here are four of the most iconic places worldwide. Besides many incredible attractions, these landmarks also have great work exchange opportunities, for those looking to save money or have a unique cultural experience.
Golden Gate Bridge, USA
Known for its rustic red color, the Golden Gate Bridge was built in the 1930s and was the tallest and longest suspension bridge in the world. The bridge is one of the best iconic places in San Francisco, and you can stay in the city on a budget by volunteering at a yoga studio.
Banff National Park, Canada
Home to alpine peaks, glacial lakes, and the famous Icefields Parkway scenic drive, Banff is a heaven for lovers of natural beauty and adventure. A cool work exchange to try is this family-run ice cream shop in Twin Butte, just 3.5 hours away from Banff National Park. Stay in a local family home and help with running the shop as well as animal care.
Balboa Park, USA
The Balboa Park is one of the most visited tourist attractions in San Diego, USA. The park is full of history, architecture, art, and beautiful nature. You could spend an entire day exploring this oasis (绿洲) of culture in San Diego. Any experienced videographers visiting San Diego should consider this work exchange!
The Great Pyramid of Giza, Egypt
As the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the only one that still remains well-preserved today, the Great Pyramid of Giza is a truly fantastic sight. It’s the largest pyramid in Egypt and was built in the early 26th Century BC. You can actually work at a guesthouse in Cairo, where you can see the pyramids directly!

5 . With the seasons changing, now is the perfect time to start planning summer experiences at outdoor theatres in parks, city squares, woodlands and even the side of a cliff! It’s time to start planning for summer! There are plenty of outdoor theatres to choose from, and we’ve put together a list of the best ones to visit across the UK.
Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre, London
No matter the weather, as far as I’m concerned when Regent’s Park starts its theatre season, summer has truly begun. Surrounded by dense whistling trees and singing birds, you may as well be a thousand miles from the surrounding city.
This year sees a typically varied programme with Twelfth Night opening, Fiddler on the Roof closing and plenty in between.
Thorington Theatre, Suffolk
A new and beautiful addition to the outdoor theatre world, opening in 2021, Thorington is built in a natural amphitheatre(圆形露天竞技场)hidden in the Suffolk woodlands.
This year’s programme includes family favourites such as Teddy Bear’s Picnic and The Little Mermaid, Shakespeare’s The Tempest as well as the mandatory A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
Willow Globe, Powys
An attractive theatre, the Willow Globe’s design is based on the London Globe Theatre, but it’s about a third of the size and formed not from wood, but willow trees woven together.
Their programme is largely filled with all things Shakespeare: straight plays, of course, but also plenty of fun introductions and interpretations to bring the Bard’s words to new or reluctant audiences.
Minack Theatre, Cornwall
Situated on the cliff of Porthcurno, Minack Theatre is one you hardly need an excuse to visit; seeing anything at all, backdropped by the azure Cornish sea, will be an unforgettable experience.
This year sees touring productions of Little Shop of Horrors, The Massive Tragedy of Madame Bovary and some others. If you want a show particularly fitting for this unique surrounding, check out The Pirates of Penzance playing in September.

We never missed the bird shows and were awed by the birds’ show-stop ping antics. I loved watching the interactive feeding sessions and learning more about the birds. Now that I’m a father myself. I make it a point to bring my family here. Though my sons do not share my passion for feeding the birds, they’re always thrilled by the bird shows. I’m glad that the park is starting a campaign on saving the Blue Parrots from extinction. | |

7 . You are allowed to bring your pets to Yellowstone National Park. There are specific rules that pet owners must be aware of for the protection and safety of their pets, themselves and wildlife. These rules have been developed over the years from experiences with pets, wildlife and accidents in the park.
Yellowstone National Park is a natural area where wildlife is free to wander undisturbed. Park visitors should be able to enjoy native wildlife in their natural environment without the disruption (干扰) of other people’s pets. For this reason, pets are banned in the backcountry and on trails and boardwalks or thermal areas (温泉区).
Some additional reasons why pets are prohibited in the backcountry and on trails and boardwalks:
* Pets occasionally escape from their owners. Pet animals generally lack the ability to survive in the wild.
* There is a strong possibility that your pet could become prey for a bear, coyote, owl or other predators.
* There is a possibility of exchange of diseases between pet animals and wildlife.
Pets may accompany you in the front country areas of the park. This includes any area within 100 feet/30.5meters of roads, parking areas and campgrounds. Pets must be kept under physical control at all times — caged, crated or on a leash not to exceed six feet in length.
There is no kennel facility within Yellowstone National Park.
Remember: Pets leave traces other than footprints. The owner is responsible for cleanup and disposal of all pet body wastes. Please be thoughtful of other visitors as well as your pet.
