1) Working at hotel or hostel receptions is one way of financing a trip or saving money. But whether it's temporary jobs, work and travel or, thanks to the digital era, working remotely, there are many more ways to travel and earn or save money on the road. If you have experience with that, feel free to share some tips and tell us how you do or used to do it. Share up to five tips, write at least three sentences about each of them and tell us everything we need to know. (60 km for each tip)

2) Whether you work on the spot or remotely, it is very likely that you will meet plenty of other travelers, so why not recommending Map Jumper to them? Help us grow our community and the travel data base and get 200 km for each successful recommendation (sign-up + one completed challenge).

3) What do you answer if any of the people you meet while traveling ask you whether your home town is worth visiting? And assuming the answer is yes, what would you say are good reasons to visit it? Try to think about what makes your home town special and share up to five reasons why we should visit your home town. (30 km for each reason)

(Up to 400 km for a 1-week road trip, up to 800 km for a 2-week road trip)
